Not necessarily, your body reacts differently to stimuli at different times of the day, even with the simplest things, for instance, how it digests types of food, particularly in insulin response.

Matthew Barber brings up a good point that not all pcs are incapable of pairing the TRIM service with the RAID configuration, so while some users will have the luxury, it's a good idea to check what your motherboard's chipset is capable of before making your decision either way.

Even so, that article is less than 2 years old, so you can't assume that all computers are now capable of handling RAID with TRIM. I'd venture to say that the percentage of pcs in use that have this capability is still probably quite small.

I'm not really arguing the security of linux/unix systems. What I'm saying, is I don't think you've got a solid grasp on the expression, or at least your example illustrates it poorly.

I'm not seeing the double edged aspect of this... He was saying it's a myth, and while the statistics suggest there is a very low risk of infection, it's still a myth that they are impervious by nature.

Accounts with less content tend to get updates more quickly. While they test these things into the ground they'd rather find errors in the wild before they get to the users who rely on the services the most.

Ah, I'm an AMD guy, so I guess I'll have to wait.

LOL. No.

I've been under the impression that TRIM will not run when the drives are in an array... how did you manage to get it working?

The sad reality is that no matter how much preaching is done, the majority of users simply will not use a backup drive, let-alone buy one. Personally I think the only way people will learn this behavior is experiencing the data loss, so I stopped preaching.

I think the reason they are saying the advice in the article…

Trim is important due to the nature of the actual memory cells in the NAND chips only being writable a finite number of times. This has not changed much at all in the past two years. Only just now is Samsung releasing their 850 line with the vertically stacked NAND, but that only improves top speed, and doesn't change…

Agreed, I actually had two drives in RAID 0 and found they were only marginally faster than a third ssd that was not RAID. When I read about the importance of TRIM, I moved everything to AHCI without arrays.

There is another HUGE caveat you missed! Setting up SSDs in a raid array such as this does not allow the drives to use TRIM, and depending on the use of the drives could greatly reduce the lifespan of the drives!

I would only recommend RAID 0 for those who do not care about the longevity of their devices, or for those…

I'm not a Mac guy so bear with me, I Fusion Drive enables system managed file transfers between a faster drive and a slower, larger one, but can you tell if there's any benefit between two ssd? Does Fusion Drive setup let you look at where files are physically between the drives?

I'm actually really excited for the PDF Viewer. I'm hoping it's feature-rich. I use pdfs all the time and none of the big name apps are perfect. A new option is welcome, especially a native, baked in one.

ABSOLUTELY. Don't forget UEFI support and all the other minor security improvements.

One huge thing that your comment pointed out, and I am SHOCKED I didn't think of this before. How is it that Google launched Now for Chrome, but didn't think to make it into an 'offline app' (which would totally be online) and give it…

I agree. Even without a touch screen, despite it being "designed for touch" the UI is actually much more efficient than 7. As much as I like Flat design, I somewhat wish that the system was easier to skin. I might like to get some depth on my start screen, ya know?

What does it require a live account for? To my knowledge, only Skydrive, err. One Drive.

Totally agree. Generally in Win7 or 8, I just tap the start button on my keyboard and start typing what I want, but when I want to do something very common, the nice big fat tiles are far more efficient to mouse to instead of a silly tree of things. And if I want trees for something (Adobe suite's secondary tools)…

Pretty sure he is saying that he's annoyed that the feature is NOT available on his Win7 machine at work.
