ah, the SSD brand? Its a better deal than the current mine for 166 USD because of the case inclusive,2GB more RAM and 128GB SSD

2018-09-27 13:58:15 UTC  

But the SSD may be shit

2018-09-27 13:58:34 UTC  

that said I didnt consider this thing at that point, or rather didnt know it existed

2018-09-27 13:58:39 UTC  

@Julian i got one of these

2018-09-27 13:58:45 UTC  

highest quality screwdrivers i've owned

2018-09-27 13:59:42 UTC  

i assume it's a chink brand ssd.

2018-09-27 13:59:49 UTC  

>finds the gemini x55 after you mentioned it

2018-09-27 13:59:53 UTC  

Huh, it has basically no difference

2018-09-27 14:00:13 UTC  

faster RAM frequnecy and a bit better CPU

2018-09-27 14:00:40 UTC  

yes, 8gb ram vs 6gb but it's fine.

2018-09-27 14:01:40 UTC  

tbh i'm only using it for streaming. my current lenovo pc stick cannot handle 1080p acestream streams.

2018-09-27 14:01:45 UTC  

I checked their own bench of the SSD

2018-09-27 14:02:09 UTC  

access time to write is pretty bad, and it has lower performance than the cheap 120GB one I bought. But it seems decent, the slow time may be because of the device.

2018-09-27 14:02:45 UTC  

I have seen worse SSDs sold today, the Kingston and similar cheap ones using old 2D TLC and chink controller.

2018-09-27 14:03:10 UTC  

that said it may have other flaws that causes it to be funny

2018-09-27 14:03:14 UTC  

or fake bench

2018-09-27 14:03:24 UTC  

eh, i'm coming from a pc which uses emmc so it will be fine for me. i might be able to swap it out but am in no rush.

2018-09-27 14:06:15 UTC  

I see, well the chink stuff I get will have eMMC too.

2018-09-27 14:06:35 UTC  

planning on using the ORICO HDD/SSD encolsure to have an external SSD on it. Since I dont want to buy M.2 stuff

2018-09-27 14:09:24 UTC  

yeah, the drive bay for the x45 (separate from the 128gb msata slot) is 2.5" so i will use it at some point. maybe with ubuntu on it.

2018-09-27 14:11:37 UTC  

yeah probably should have gotten this to amke my life easier

2018-09-27 14:11:40 UTC  

also it has american megatrends

2018-09-27 14:11:42 UTC  

thats nice

2018-09-27 14:13:37 UTC  

I mean I do have a fancy M.2 slot but leets be honest

2018-09-27 14:13:39 UTC  

im not forking out for that

2018-09-27 14:14:12 UTC  

i looked around for the best value and the x45 fits the bill.

2018-09-27 14:14:24 UTC  

Yeah, I thought mine was the best value but turns out I was wrong

2018-09-27 14:14:28 UTC  

either way its not a bad buy.

2018-09-27 14:14:33 UTC  

kek.

2018-09-27 14:14:37 UTC  

I think I will just use the 32 GB eMMC for OS

2018-09-27 14:14:41 UTC  

and plug in 5TB HDD

2018-09-27 14:14:44 UTC  

hahaha

2018-09-27 14:15:20 UTC  

my pc stick had win 10 on the 32gb emmc. not fun.

2018-09-27 14:15:33 UTC  

winblows 10 on 32GB

2018-09-27 14:15:43 UTC  

B A D I D E A
Linux server on 32GB means plenty of space though

2018-09-27 14:16:05 UTC  

windows 10 on 50 is bad idea

2018-09-27 14:16:12 UTC  

^

2018-09-27 14:16:14 UTC  

128GB at least, maybe 60 will be okay. dont think you can buy anything less than 120 that makes sense though

2018-09-27 14:16:17 UTC  

yeah, i know. but i only used it for acestream so it wasn't too bad.

2018-09-27 14:17:21 UTC  

I like how the chinks ripped off Intel design completely
