    Notices its rediculous kilomegagiga speeds in Steady Write Speed test ? Look at 2nd and 3rd screen. This drive will show off first 40 seconds its 6pack muscles and then blow into the mud like a stone running just as usual 4th gen drive. Avoid at any cost if you move large volumes because every...

    News RTX 5090 cable overheats to 150 degrees Celsius — Uneven current distribution likely the culprit

    Of course doubling the voltage to 24V would reduce the heating load by the factor of 4 and further quadrupling to 48V to the factor of 16 so that the whole power could be easily supplied by just a single (!) wire but here is one issue. I would worry about more than 24V for the GPU due to small...
