Completely delete notebook?
Byfrittzi
How can I completely delete my notebook so that it can no longer be viewed, so that I can sell it without worry?
PC / screen suddenly "blurry"?
I've included two comparison pictures so you can see the difference. For about two days now, every video on both my PC monitors has been extremely strange in quality. It's as if someone went into an image editing program and set the "Sharpness" slider to 200%. I have no idea what's wrong. My desktop, etc.,…
good gaming keyboard?
Hello! I'm currently looking for a good gaming keyboard in the 100-200 key range with red switches. I really like the look of the Roccat Vulcan 122 Aimo, but I've heard that the switches aren't that good and the white color is off. Would you recommend this keyboard, and if not, which one?
Can old Microsoft Office packages still be redeemed with a code?
I'm specifically interested in Word. Is there anything affordable?
How to connect NAS to multiple PCs?
Hello, I have a Synology NAS DS1522 with 5 HDD hard drives. This is currently connected to the Mac via the fast port, so I have about 700-800 mb/second. Now I'd like to connect another Mac to it so that two Macs have fast, direct access via the cable. However, there's only one of the…
Will an SSD with NVMe fit on this motherboard?
Hello friends, I'm eyeing this motherboard: GIGABYTE B760M DS3H DDR4 with Intel B760 Express Chipset with the following properties: – 1x PCI-Express 4.0/3.0 x16 slot (x16 mode) – 2x PCI Express 3.0 x16 slots (x1 mode) – 4x SATA3 (6GB/s) ports with Raid 0, 1, 5 and 10 support – 2x M.2 PCIe 4.0 x4/x2…
He’s pretty good.
DRAM is (as the name already says) a RAM, can be described and read as often as desired – and is therefore suitable as a memory. Here, the bits are stored in tiny capacitors on the chip. Their charge must be refreshed regularly (refresh), and all data will be lost when switching off.
SLC, on the other hand, is a type of flash memory. The contents remain (thanks to floating gate field effect transistors) even without current, it can therefore be used for SSDs. Flash memories are, however, much slower than (D)RAMs and are used in writing (so contract only a limited number of write operations).
And what is better to install windows and games on it?
Normally flash, so with your two options SLC.
On a (D)RAM you cannot permanently install (at least when using a PC) because this would disappear when the PC is switched off.
The operating system already ensures that frequently used data automatically enters the RAM and is therefore quickly accessed.
Theoretically, you can also set up a so-called RAM disk, because you have to copy the required data beforehand and then have it available with RAM speed. However, there are only a few situations where this really makes sense, especially since you might need a lot of RAM.
Okay, so SLC is better
DRAM is volatile, i.e. suitable only for temporary storage of data. The mapping table is usually stored in the DRAM cache, which is significantly faster than to get it from the NAND every time. DRAM Cache is between 128MB and 4GB depending on SSD, much faster than SLC NAND and has lower access times
SLC is not volatile, so the data will remain even after the PC is shut down. Used as a write cache, since TLC or QLC is significantly slower. Especially with QLC SSDs, a large SLC cache is required, otherwise the write power can fall below HDD level for larger files
