Samsung 870 QVO 4TB SATA SSD-s: how are they doing after 4 years of use?

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-18 06:03:18

I’ve been running four Samsung 870 QVO 4TB SATA SSD-s for a while now. They’re old enough to be popping up on the second-hand market, so I thought it would be good to provide a few additional data points for those thinking about buying one. Mine have mainly been used in a home server setting, with one also being used as a backup drive at times. I initially got these drives because I found the noise that hard drives generated to be unacceptably high in a small apartment. They’re also quite a bit

After Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) lays into her at the end of the second season of the Tim Burton show, seemingly to push her to be herself in the meanest way possible, Agnes gets gutted emotionally in a way that could have been a villain origin but goes in a surprisingly positive direction. “I th

Tesla Admits That Its Cars May Never Fully Drive Themselves

Tesla has quietly changed how it defines "Full Self-Driving," Electrek reports, in a way that awfully sounds like it's giving up on CEO Elon Musk's perennially pushed-back promise that its cars will actually drive themselves without human help. The change comes in a document outlining a potential and absolutely ludicrous $1 trillion compensation package for Musk that the Tesla board recently filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Tesla has changed the meaning of “Full Self-Driving”, also known as “FSD”, to give up on its original promise of delivering unsupervised autonomy. Since 2016, Tesla has claimed that all its vehicles in production would be capable of achieving unsupervised self-driving capability. CEO Elon Musk has claimed that it would happen by the end of every year since 2018.

Tesla's misleadingly-named "full-self driving" (FSD) feature — which still requires drivers pay attention to the road, even if they often fail horrifically at that simple task — is one of the Elon Musk-owned electric carmaker's biggest self-styled selling points.
