Rx100 flash

Managing flash drive data can be a little bit tedious when using a computer, but this project streamlines the process in the form of a handheld. Maker Shaun Jay has created a USB flash drive copier using a Raspberry Pi Zero . The best Raspberry Pi projects are ones with practical uses, and this one absolutely fits the bill. This handheld allows the user to easily view, remove and copy the contents of one flash drive to another using a custom interface. It relies on an Adafruit 128 x 64 OLED Bonnet and a Zero4U USB hub. Together, these provide a visual display and plenty of USB ports for the project's needs. A joystick and two buttons are used to navigate the options and make selections. The application side of this project relies on an open source development called USB Copier, created by Luke Hutchinson. Hutchinson's code relies on Rsync and can be found on Github for anyone interested. The USB copier isn't perfect, Jay admits — it doesn't support … [Read more...] about Raspberry Pi USB Copier Duplicates Data in a Flash

Samsung is one world's largest semiconductor companies, so it can build multiple products entirely in-house. But the ongoing chip shortage crisis has reportedly prompted the company to consider outsourcing its flash memory controllers for eMMC and other embedded storage devices to a third party. According to a DigiTimes report today citing anonymous "market sources," Samsung still has not completely restored production at its fabs in Texas, after closing them in February amid a winter storm. The ordered shutdown of the Austin fabs in March not only disrupted production and delayed delivery of certain chips but also affected Samsung Foundry's allocation plans for months to come. That included SSD controllers for Samsung's PCIe SSDs. Being a vertically integrated manufacturer has its advantages. You can tailor products in accordance with needs, control the supply chain and earn great margins without sharing profits. Samsung also manufactures its SSD controllers at its fab … [Read more...] about Report: Samsung Mulls Outsourcing eMMC, Embedded Flash Storage Controllers

If you’re looking for a camera that’s an upgrade over your phone, but also costs less than your phone, the original Sony RX100 is the best cheap camera you can buy. Cheap, of course, is relative, but the first-generation RX100 offers great image quality in a compact size that rivals the best compact cameras of today. Better than buying used, Sony keeps older models around at lower prices, so that you can save a ton of money and still get a new-in-the-box camera with a full warranty. Buying an older camera isn’t the only way to find a good deal, however. The other strategy is to go with newer, but lower-end model. These entry-level cameras often lack the level of control offered by higher-end models, but often have image quality equal to more expensive models. For other choices, check out the best mirrorless cameras, best Black Friday camera deals , and best point-and-shoot cameras .

Update 2/18/2020 : Adata has reached to clarify that the Redditor measured performance with the new SSD configuration connected to the PCH and compared performance to the originally-shipping SSD connected to the CPU. This can have an impact on performance. We have also added a note regarding the disparity in the relevant section. Adata does not dispute that there is now another configuration shipping to customers. Updated Article : Adata’s XPG SX8200 Pro was once hailed as the best SSD in its category in terms of offering the best bang for your buck. Unfortunately, the SSD also received its fair share of bad press as Adata switched out the original components for slower parts, without publicizing the change. While swapping out different types of flash certainly isn't unheard of, Adata's tactic involved swapping the SSD controller, a first. In addition to the original SX8200 Pro, our testing identified two more revisions that delivered substantially lower performance … [Read more...] about Adata Switches NAND on XPG SX8200 Pro SSD Again, Affecting Performance (Updated)
