    Why does every motherboard use Realtek for audio and not others?

    Posted: 07 Oct 2021 04:37 AM PDT

    Ever since I could remember, damn near every motherboard contains a Realtek chip.

    Why don't motherboard manufacturers consider Qualcomm or Mediatek or even Intel audio for their motherboards?

    I pried open a Satechi Aluminium keyboard so you don't have to

    Posted: 08 Oct 2021 02:20 AM PDT

    Story: It was around the time of the release of Warzone on PC (March 2020). I played with a buddy my first rounds. It was intense and I got scared when I got suddenly got shot at, so that I swung my leg so hard that I dragged the cable from the keyboard along. In the result the USB A connector got bented(Thankfully the USB A Port did not get damaged). The wires soldered to the connector got ripped of. I then decided to upgrade the keyboard to USB C. The only way that would have been satisfying for me was to buy a USB C cable and solder it onto the keyboard. I tried to cut off the USB A connector an solder the wires onto a USB C connector. I actually succeeded and got it working again, but the connector you can buy on eBay are not sturdy enough.

    It's just sad that this could have been avoided by simply using screws instead of glue. In future I will avoid satechi products and similar repair unfriendly devices. Their slick design is really sexy but what if for example the battery goes bad in 5 years if have gotten the wireless version? I won't be able to swap it out myself and therefore have to buy a new one.

    Follow up to the QLC drama: Adata XS8100 4TB (supposedly QLC) vs 870QVO 4TB (QLC Sata)

    Posted: 07 Oct 2021 06:52 AM PDT

    For somebody like me, having a QLC drive can be a real headache. You come back into the office and you need to offload the footage of the day, that can span to over 100GB per memory card, and your 2 minute remaining time suddenly becomes 10 minute as the drive grinds to a halt, trying to write all the data of yours straight into QLC-cells.

    I was working with samsung QVO line of drives, which offered excellent latency and storage space/price, and in this scenario a drive only gets around 7TBW per year, not a problem for "degradation". But the speed deficiencies are almost a weekly matter, so much that i've had to dust out an older Raid Box to offload ~400GB of VR footage as the Seagate Ironwolf spinning rusties inside were faster than the mighty SSD. In fact samsung's 870 QVO 4TB only offers a ~70GB buffer for burst operations, and that buffer is also very slow to clear, after that buffer is used up the write speeds slow down to a real world speed of 120-140MBps.

    Adata might not be the most transparent SSD manufacturer out there, but now they certainly offer one of the cheapest 4TB NVMe drives, spotting a realtek controller and "obscure adata branded" flash. My drive is from september and the latest Realtek flash size can't read any info from it. Well this SSD is in a totally different league from the Samsung Sata drive, and i've hit it with 2 transfers, respectively 220GB and 265GB and the drive was still saturating my source media drive, maxing out it's read speed of ~480MBps

    Not every drive behaves the same, even tho they might have the same uber-slow memory cells, as this drive clearly outperforms even more premium Sata drives… and also the si the tic benchmarks done with a 99%filled drive don't show what's happening. Only Anandtech graphs do give a clearer image of what has to be expected from an SSD, but that data is usually hard to come by, as only a fraction of the drives get reviewed in that way.
