When I first got my lappy livestreaming was low priority for me.........yeah yeah I know.
So along with ramping up my data backup I'm having to get better streaming capacity. The computer guy I'm talking to showed me this thingy that helps with that...some kind of buffer? Anyway....technology is moving way too fast.

I thought Moses was the first one to download data from the cloud to a tablet, but now we know it was Mossy.

1TB on a piece of plastic the size of your thumbnail.

I think that is amazing.

In other news I just bought a new NAS and stuck in two 12TB hard drives (run as Raid 1 mirroring) and already have it 25% full.

Can you not split up functions - use the SSD for read/write stuff, and standard drive for the program?

When I was in college they still had computer rooms and they had to be kept pretty cool because of all the heat the computers produced.
My first computer used floppy discs.

Yeah, SSD would be nice, but in the size I am thinking it is a bit too much still. Supposedly a hybrid drive would be closer to a price range I could get.

Later in the 80's the company I worked for had a PDP-11 and we got a removable hard drive unit that you can see in the picture below. That giant garbage can lid sized disk held a whopping 10mb! the actual drive was the size of a washing machine.
