Are solid state hard drives faster?

Why do you make such stupid posts, which trim several points from your already low IQ each time?

You are an idiot. The ENTIRE ham license registry is PUBLIC INFO.

THAT is what whoever you talk to is going to tell you. He may add "Grow up."

Kids have yet to learn that real life testing takes real time. They all too often care only about things that give instant results.

The way retarded bastards like you give instant insults?

Got your airline tickets yet, Archie?

The top ham Publication in the US is QST, AlwaysWrong. QRZ.com is a Callsign Database.

Then clean up your act so no one will come looking for you, if you are that paranoid.

Sensitive information. What a joke! By federal law, that information has to be made available to the public, like any other licensed radio station.

The really funny thing is that he is going to drive the 30 miles to get there, have coffee (he says), and then bitch about me to the the same entity who gave me the information I posted.

What that brain-dead idiot apparently does not know is that he relinquished his privacy when he got, and subsequently posted, his federally-issued call sign, which, as you pointed out, is public information.

Try this out:

Makes you wonder what his "Big Jamie's Fat Girl Club" is all about. I can only assume that he is Big Jamie. And, again, if his birth name is Jamie, then

1. He has lied to the FCC about his name on record.

1. He is lying to the group about the fact that his name is Maynard and everything else that goes with it.

2. Worst of all, he has assumed someone else's call letters in which I am sure the FCC will be interested.

The stupidity in people like him astounds me. I sincerely hope that the people here do not think that all hams are like him.

No. Only about 75%, from my sad experience. The dys of hams who could build a station from scratch are in the past, and some can't even solder a plug on a microphone.

Then again, the days of hams who can rig back-to-back Motorola Mitrek mobiles to make a "repeater" (and make it work!) are long gone too. If for no other reason, the lack of working still-intact Mitrek mobiles.

Still, that's got to be a good thing, right?

I can't tell you how many times I had to track down harmful interference in the field, only to find some bastardized ham rig at the end of the chase!! While not a HAM myself, and in spite of the fact that I have several friends who I would consider to be "good" hams, I still couldn't give a nickle for the whole bunch of them.

As to spectrum efficiency, I submit the spectrum can find better uses than: "Honey, can you bring home a gallon of milk?"

information.

Which is why we make gateways, and pass data over the worlds' backbones.

When all it is is data, then asswipes like you cannot declare what is or is not valid data or not, because my data is my data, and your data is your data.

Fill up *that* spectrum, and you can bet the efficiency is very high.

Long live the digital domain.

Another one for my flash stick for tomorrow's visit.

Jamie

Now you've really got me worried, Jamie. Are you going to have the ARRL arrest me? Strip me of my call sign just for pointing out your failings?

Well, too late now. Have them call me tomorrow and I'll explain it to them.

solid state is faster.

yes.

there is that advantage if the drive is subject to physical shock.

SSDs have a limited (but large) number of re-writes, run the figures, see if it suits.

Which points to a ram drive, fastest of all.

I would assume that they have RAM mirroring the flash, and it's written back on power-down with a little double layer cap or something to provide power, but I can't find a source that says so. Are they made that way? It would suck if they actually wrote to flash constantly.

Besides being BS, that's faulty logic. (sorry, can't see the original)

The constructs that are arrayed when it is compiling are not that big, and even if they are, they would get sequentially written ACROSS the flash, so it would not over-exercise it in any way. Sheesh.

They are even putting flash cache on hard drives now. See the Seagate hybrids. They have a 32MB fast cache, but they ALSO have a 4GB flash cache. The question is how does that "area" get utilized? Especially when one places multiple volumes on the drive. It is probably a FIFO for the drive controller, so every volume uses it.
