    2 Giga Bytes Per Second With SSD

    in IT and Computers

    Posted

    It’s not sooo expensive!

    If u take a MLC (Multi Level Cell) “Drive” u pay about 300US$ for 100GB.

    A 2,5” 100GB Notebook “Drive” with ~200MB/s read and write u feel

    the Speed increase by Boot and even by running Programs.

    SLC’s (Single Level Cell) “Drive” have a longer lifetime bud about 4 times more expensive.

    By MLC “Drives” switch off the Defrag Function, this will increase the Lifetime and use the Trim – Function,

    supported by Windows 7 for some Brands,or the Manufacturer offer similar Tools.

    (Trim restore used and now free Cells)

    For Desktop’s use PCIe “Drives”, this increase the Speed again.

    120GB (~400$) ~500MB/s read and write or

    1TB (~5000$) ~1,4GB/s read and write!

    3BB Speed Test

    post-1370-095792800 1280391678_thumb.jpg

    Go to Speedtest.net, direct or via 3BB Speed test, made a Test to San Francisco (result below)

    Calculation:

    Distance San Francisco 12’700km.

    Ping Distance: 25’400km

    Light speed: ~ 299’792 km/s (Fiber Optic cable ~ 200’000 km/s)

    Distance/Light speed = 0.085 sec = 85ms (theoretically), without additional delay time from Amplifiers, Multiplexers, Nodes.

    Conclusion: 55ms impossible, Speedtest wrong, Server local, just around the corner.

    Real Ping Test:

    San Francisco= www.unwiredltd.com , IP= 204.11.106.53, Ping = 269ms (avg)

    Windows 7 Beta Available

    in IT and Computers

    Posted · Edited by drake

    Hi all, @Twain

    U don’t need to install Windows7 on a separate partition!

    New in Win7, u can install it on a Virtual-Harddisk (not VirtualPC).

    Harddisk on a Harddisk is the best solution for dualboot Systems.

    Absolut similar as normal installations.

    Here a good installation Description:

    http://blogs.zdnet.com/hardware/?p=3324

    If ur basis OS is not Windows 7, create a Folder name Virtual on drive c:

    Start with Windows7 DVD, by Install Now, Shift-F10, diskpart (new version) and

    enter: create vdisk file=c:\virtual\win7.vhd type=fixed maximum=16000.

    Here u can continue with select and attach see description.

    Multiple Installation are possible e.g. x86, x64 and Server 2008 R2.

    Easy to install, easy to Erase.

    If u are not familiarly with BCDedit u can download VistaBootPro to handle the Bootsector.

    Tot Broadband: 1gbps By July In Phuket

    TOT broadband: 1Gbps by July

    PHUKET (Nation/Gazette): TOT kicked off its project to build a new fiber-optic broadband-Internet service for Phuket with the awarding yesterday of a 136.8-million-baht network-construction contract.

    “We picked Phuket as the first location to launch the service because the island has affluent consumers who can afford the premium-priced service,” said Sayan Tinsamran, TOT senior executive vice president for marketing and product development.

    Under the contract, a consortium led by Italian-Thai Development and Siam Fibre Optic will install a 200-kilometer fiber network with 3,200 broadband-Internet ports.

    The service will deliver voice, data and video on demand at speeds of up to 1Gbps over FTTx, or “Fiber To The x”, where “x” could be a home, buildings or any other location hooking up to the network.

    Fujikura, a Japanese vendor, will supply its FTTx technology, while NTT-West Co, a Japanese telecom company, will act as project consultant.

    K. Sayan said that the state enterprise had spent two years on the project’s feasibility study.

    FTTx technology costs about 50,000 baht per port, more than conventional asynchronous digital subscriber line technology (ADSL). The service fee is expected to be high, but TOT will not finalize the rate until the launch date.

    “We expect to break even in four years,” said K. Sayan.

    The first phase will offer only voice and data; video on demand will come later.

    “If the service in Phuket proves successful, FTTx will be expanded to other provinces, including Khon Kaen and Chiang Mai,” he added.

    Pairoj Somsri, who heads the TOT office in Phuket, said he expects the system to be operational around the beginning of July.

    Fiber-optic cables up to 20 kilometers in length will originate from the main Phuket TOT office in Phuket City as well as its two sub-branch offices in Thalang and Patong.

    The network should cover most of the island, he said.

    “I think it is great that Phuket was chosen to be the pilot province for this project, because this is new technology with a high investment cost,” he added.

    K. Pairoj declined to estimate what prospective users would have to pay for the service once it becomes available.

    Upon learning that the contract had been signed, Gazette computer-columnist Woody Leonhard was cautiously optimistic.

    “If TOT is able to deliver 1Gbps international Internet access to offices and homes in Phuket, it will represent a major breakthrough in the island’s efforts to establish itself as an IT hub for Southeast Asia. Fiber in Phuket should prove to be a very wise investment, but to get a return on that investment, TOT must offer high-speed service not only to locations inside Thailand, but out to the rest of the world as well.”

    Henry Habermacher of X-Net computers in Phuket City was more doubtful that the average Internet user would benefit.

    “It’s not the speed on the last mile, it’s the speed from Thailand to the international lines,” he said. “What should I do with a 1Gbps-wide fiber line if I get served over the international lines with only 100Kbps? This will not help us at all. This is for radio stations, telephone… Internet users using international lines are not targeted with this plan at all.”

    He added that the service would only become more strained with the increased demand unless CAT and other providers first expand Internet bandwidth internationally.

    Fastest Internet Possible

    in IT and Computers

    Posted

    I’m understand samsara....

    Internet in LOS is too expensive and slow.

    As an example, my friend in Switzerland (not a Internet paradise) just installed ADSL2+.

    25 MBit/s download

    2,5 MBit/s upload

    Fixed IP

    Open Ports

    Price per Month: 75 CHF = 2186 Baht

    available in LOS when?

    Conclusion:

    Small application improvement, Excel still slow.

    (Sorry, I have no Intel Shares)

    Scenario 4:

    Platform CPU Intel Core2 Duo E6600 2.40GHz, 2GB RAM, LAN 1Gbps

    Conclusion:

    Application improvement

    Comment:

    Please, don’t understand this test as official reference!

    It’s made for me to know where the train is going.

    Other tests give maybe different results.

    Anyway, its recommended to install the Service-Packs, XP/SP3 with 114 security updates and 959 hotfixes ,

    Vista SP1 performance improvement, function extensions, new functions like exFAT, 802.11n?, SSTP and more.

    Tip: If u has Nokia-Suite installed, Vista RC1 refuses installation without any msg.

    Uninstall Nokia, install RC1, and reinstall Nokia, this works.

    Uninstall RC1 before 2008-07-01 (expires), bud first Nokia.
