    How does the SD Express standard in performance to internal storage protocols used in phones?

    Posted: 19 Feb 2021 12:06 AM PST

    SD Express apparently carries an NVMe compatible signal? So assuming the underlying NAND and controller architectures are the same, does anyone know how this technology will compare to existing internal memory standards used in current smartphones, like eMMC or UFS, in metrics like random access speed and access latency? Apparently sequential speed is confirmed to be faster, right? Could we viably have a phone that can fully boot off external storage like a PC booting off a removable SSD, while achieving similar or better performance than booting from internal memory? Could high performance phones in theory start shipping with no storage except a built in SD Express card that you can upgrade just like a PC SSD?

    Why does Google abandoned Project Loon while SpaceX is expanding Starlink?

    Posted: 18 Feb 2021 05:57 AM PST

    Apology if topic doesn't belongs here, this is the best sub I can think of for this kind of discussion.

    Project Loon is meant to bring internet access by means of high-altitude helium balloons, while Starlink is meant to do that but with satellite instead.

    "The road to commercial viability has proven much longer and riskier than hoped. So we've made the difficult decision to close down Loon," says Astro Teller, the CEO of X and chairman of Loon's board in a statement.

    I did some searching around the web:

    IEEE spectrum suggest that though Project Loon lower the cost of coverage, said cost was still far higher than what the people can afford. Quote: "It's also possible that Loon, while lowering the cost of delivering wireless coverage in a country like Kenya, failed to lower it enough. For example, if the typical monthly cost of Internet access is US 50 dollars more than the average person can afford, and Loon is able to lower the cost to 25 dollars more than that person can afford, it's still too expensive. "

    On the other hand, Bloomberg posit that we do not have a coverage problem, but a "usage gap". Quote: "But ultimately, Loon didn't take off because Alphabet failed to recognize that socioeconomic problems — including illiteracy, the cost of data and handsets, and discrimination — would play a bigger role in keeping people off the internet than a lack of cell towers."

    Of course there's also the factor that Project Loon prefer to work with existing telco to boost their coverage as in the case of Kenya instead of selling directly to consumer.

    Synology E10M20-T1 works in TrueNAS

    Posted: 18 Feb 2021 04:29 AM PST

    Hi,

    I saw the post from u/RandomCollection showing a review of this 10Gbit/M.2 combo card. I got very excited as if this could be used in a non-synology system, then it could be used to make very efficient use of one PCIe slot. Considering I'm using a consumer Mini-ITX motherboard with only one PCIe slot for my TrueNAS system, this would be just amazing. I couldn't find any information on whether it would work as I hoped it would, so I took the plunge and bought one.

    Well... It works! You can use the 10gbit nic as expected (you need the aquantia driver installed though) and the drives were just automatically detected by TrueNAS, literally no extra steps required for them. You can use them for storage or caching, and likely everything else you might expect to do from a PCIe M.2 device.

    It also works with the MP510 2TB which I have in there right now. I can get the full 10Gb/s performance from the drive through the NIC.

    If you do want to get this for TrueNAS, you'll have to enable the experimental Aquantia driver as detailed here. Can't be happier with this product!
