Big fan of Offshoot. use it quite frequently :)

Re: Sony Airpeak S1 is now available to order

the Freefly Astro base kit was $12,000 last time I checked (my invitation was received this past week). Just by way of comparison...

curious how this stacks up against the DJI RS2

Re: ProGrade CFexpress Type A Cobalt Memory card

Dave Graham — Tue, 21 Sep 2021 19:44:31 -0000

meh. I use CFE A on my FX3 and it works extremely well for what it's designed for (4K-I). I use it for b-roll, S&Q capture, etc. and since I'm usually doing short clips, I can clear it out quickly to a laptop, etc. What i DON'T like, at the moment, is the lack of portable data devices (e.g. Gnarbox) that support formats like this (PCIe-based storage). I might just have to build one.

Re: Nexus Q social streaming device hands-on

comparing to the AppleTV is somewhat misguided as it's more readily compared to Sonos or other types of network streaming players while combining some of the functionality delivered by the AppleTV.

Re: Gigabyte's ECO600 mouse passes through the FCC, boasts 12-month battery life

Dave Graham — Tue, 24 May 2011 16:53:15 -0000

that's some kind of awful. I use my mouse constantly and average at least 2 hours of usage (that's actual cumulative usage throughout the day, mind you...those 5 sec bursts of activity add up)... add WoW into the mix and it's getting used quite heavily.. ;)

My Logitech Marathon M705 lasted for 2 years on a set of AA batteries. Not too shabby. ;)

Re: Barnes & Noble announces new touch-enabled Nook for $139 (video)

didn't say that Calibre got rid of DRM. I said that it's rather easy to get rid of DRM THROUGH Calibre. (through /= Calibre itself. Plugins historically have covered that feature) Of course, there's always BitTorrent. ;)

Re: Barnes & Noble announces new touch-enabled Nook for $139 (video)

Dave Graham — Tue, 24 May 2011 10:43:10 -0000

yeah, I'm a bit apathetic on the touch screen. the 3G connectivity is a god-send though based on the amount of airports, etc. that I've got to deal with.

Re: Barnes & Noble announces new touch-enabled Nook for $139 (video)

Dave Graham — Tue, 24 May 2011 10:42:11 -0000

so, getting rid of DRM is rather easy through Calibre. ;) only thing left is cost.

pretty happy with my original Nook 3G+WiFi....battery lasts for days and it doesn't tweak my eyes as much as some ppl have complained.

Re: TMS RamSan-70 SSD packs 2GB-per-second throughput, up to 900GB capacity

Dave Graham — Mon, 23 May 2011 11:30:15 -0000

Erik,

haven't tested the TMS solution. spent most of my time looking at
cost/GB/IOP with EMC. Consequently, focused most of my energy on LSI
Warpdrive and Fusion I/O technologies. As a building block for high
transaction workloads, all of these solutions are great...however,
you'll also have to look at more than just the hardware to develop a
workable solution. For example, simply slapping these cards in a chassis
with *gasp* Windows 2k8 r2 Datacentre or a bog-standard Linux distro
with EXT3 is going to be a terrible way to implement. At that point,
you've bottle-necked on the FS moreso than the hardware. Using even a
simple change to XFS (esp. for large workloads) or, looking a bit more
grandly, Lustre/GPFS/SNFS, will enable to you create a massively
scalable and performance-oriented storage/compute system. And then
there's the matter of getting data in box...2GB/s processing/300K IOPS
handling is meaningless if you can't feed that data inbox...

Re: TMS RamSan-70 SSD packs 2GB-per-second throughput, up to 900GB capacity

Dave Graham — Sun, 22 May 2011 14:53:08 -0000

Daniel,

The LSI Warpdrive is able to push close to those levels of performance with a price point < $7500.00 (i believe it was priced around 5K for the 300GB version I tested on). Similarly, bandwidth is one part of the equation but realistically, you need to look at the IOP handling of the particular drive...

cheers,

Dave

Boe_d....

OCZ /= anything close to enterprise-class drives from STEC, FusionI/O, LSI, Violin Memory, Pliant, etc. You pay to play in this particular market.

cheers,

E3S was backup. sadly, no longer offered as a product or concept. look at cirtas.com for an evolution of it.
