Which is why IT departments are now requiring CCNA in addition to the MCSE. Wan engineers are tired of sys admins opening tickets.
The CCNA is way overkill just like requiring network admins to be mcse certified in case they use a shared drive. But to run viritual machines you need to setup viritual networks and subnet and and diagnose connection problems
I am researching taking it as I see job postings requiring them for non network admins.
It is rediculous and overkill and nearly impossible to pass without prepping for 6 months and buying your own switches and routers as the simulators won't cover what you need to pass all for a silly assocites level.
I know employers who want talk to you if you do not have both the ccna and mcsa as much as we bash paper mcses here.
HR uses them as a filtering mechanism and colleagues respect you more. I had perspective employer make the MS certification requirement being current a condition of employment. Goes outdated? You're fired.
I read maximum pc and Google a few others. Samsung and sansdisk are proprietary controllers. Toshiba uses Ocz which supposedly fixed their modded crappy sandforce.
Intel back in 2010 had a few buggy firmwares. New are fine. I do not trust ocz, anything sandforce, or crucial. The newer ones use maxwell too which is ok. But OCZ truly does suck. I still have a mechanical drive for backup files and one drive too.
I have 4 ssds for almost 2 years in 2 raids. Survived probably 10 reimages and full disk writes
Check on the failed ones in your shop? I bet most are ocz or sandforce. Ocz is sandforce with redundancy removed. XP causes them to fail quicker too due to lack of Trim
Oh AND TRIM is essential. This is because when you delete it doesn't erase. Sectors are virtual and the controller keeps looking for data to save. It is strange. I use parted magic to do an internal erase whenever I reinstall an os. Go Google it?
Try a good oNE for 1 week. You won't want to go back. Especially if you have a mechanical disk and cloud backup
Hairy difference is you can pick the controller. Sandforce and OCX RUN.
Crucial buggy and will die without update.
I run sansdisk and Samsung pros in raid 0 for years. Their controllers are good and asked microcenter which gave lowest RMA? You should switch Hairy it's not 2010 anymore and they improved. Yes I owned 2 2011 Seagates that died
No way will I go back. Swtor and battlefield 4 are unusable on a mechanical.
Also Intel has trim in raid 0 that AMD doesn't which blows for AMD fans but with that combo you can do raid
A popular website now gone showed the readings to the exclusion zone 10 years ago.
While I got modded down for saying it is dangerous here as this is a pro nuclear site there are areas near the plant where the radiation is 100x as high as other parts of the zone. Trees to this day show genetic aberrations in areas near the plant regardless of the thriving ecosystem developing in the nearbye Ukrainian city.
Safe to visit the abandoned city of Prypiat but I would not want to live there and drink the water, get near the plant, or risk having dust on a windy day get near my face or food.
And requires IE 6/XP and no security updates or anything.
For a minute I thought we were screwed where the utilities corrupt all our agencies so they can't enforce any polices to change this that would somehow cost MBA access to real time reports and money.
Speaking as someone who did work his way and just got demoted after only 5 months I have to say management is not for everyone.
You think (l)users are annoying as helpdesk or desktop support? Wait til they make unreasonable demands, bash you, attack you and your team, and promise customers things without your knowledge that you can not possibly deliver and then hold you accountable when it fails while they take a bonus?
That folks sounds like hell but is management 101. Granted I have incompetent managers at my company (I was probably one of them due to me being demoted) but it is all bullshit, soothing hotheads, and looking like you got your shit together when you don't.
If you have aspergers or some mild social disorder like a lot do in IT then management is not for you as it requires a whole different skill sets. If you are fast talking salesmen who knows jack about IT then you can be a great IT manager as your job is not to get yourself and your team fired.
I had literally nightmares about work 5 nights a week and woke up at multiple times in the night to check email on my phone. I could not tell someone else please include me in that meeting and no this can not be done by X as you waited until the last minute and a lack of planning on yoru part should never be an emergency on my part. That line got me demoted as I had to move 4 companies and set VLANs and several hundred pcs when the wiring was not even fucking in yet in 3 days.
Programming managers have this too when sales promise a product features that do not exist and they get a slap on the back for a good job and a bonus and the IT manager is threatened with termination if 6 months worth of work is not done in 2 weeks etc.
I would even go on to say of all management IT management is the worst out there besides restaurant.
Well then I have to say your with the wrong girl or she is mad at you.
A woman who loves knows and expects you to be different. My exwife hates man caves. However she loved me enough to talk about needs and we planned. Punishing with sex because you are you and feel overwhelmed and need a break with 0 consideration shows no empathy or love
So where did you meet a girl into games? Not an easy task.
That's waaay overkill for a small hpc. Nice gaming box though. My raid 0 workstation and gaming box only has a 600 watt psu.
I read about people using raspberry pies for hpc. I would get a low end AMD or atom in a tiny mtx case with 2 ssds or a esata one where you can hide the drives behind. Sexy, slim, and quiet.
Integrated graphics on latest atom are 4000 which is fine for video. AMD can run games too.
You can thank developers who do not use manifests nor appropriate frameworks and hard code their own resolutions or use MFC 4.2 out of familiarity
This is why I refuse to leave 1080p and go to 4K. I don't want a cell phone on my computer so I use Win 7 which has 0 support after 100 dpi. Last I heard even Chrome had issues.
People yack about 4k being the second coming of Christ but you need a $1000 video card to play games with half the settings off and compatibility problems. Lets hope Windows 10 and Wayland address this. For me it will be a few years before I change.
You mean like ReFS
The question is will your 3 TB ever get filled? That is a lot of storage.
Also dropbox and MS Onedrive built into Windows 8.1 both offer 1 TB of cloud storage too. This will decrease demand for consumers.
We are nerds and not typical users but even I have a similar setup
My prediction is hard disks will turn into tape drives of today for backups and long term storage. SSDs are the wave of the future. My prediction also is many Walmart pc wil use disks for years to come due to OEMs being greedy about costs and not value. Joes who do not know what an SSD is will like the bigger storage in the specs and cheaper price not knowing it will significantly slow him down. The same ones who bought Pentium IVs because they had higher MHz a decade ago thinking they were better.
Why would I upgrade to a mechanical disk just because it is bigger.
1 TB has enough data for every man woman and child who ever lived to write a 1500 page book! Will Joe Six Pack really need to have that 30 TB drive when his circa 2012 1 TB drive has 70% free space on it?
SSDs I see now are much faster and are limited in storage but already there for a lot of people.
BLISS is ignorance.
