I was using thi sgyration mediacenter remote:

But I recently ditched those for these:

http://www.amazon.com/Superior-Wireless-Keyboard-removable-adjustable/dp/B00
4I4SSCQ

They are awesome.  plugnplay.  The battery is like a cell phone battery and
you can charge the remote via USB. The keyboard is backlit. And my wife has
no "i don't know how to work this" issues because it is just a keyboard and
touchpad.

Hi Paul,

It's not you. It was us.  What happened? Our website lives in Amazon's
cloud. So it's a VM, and this VM lost access to its hard disk, and was
sitting in an infinite loop at 100% CPU trying to get access, and thus
denying access to everyone. And the thing we used to monitor the site uptime
was not set up right. AUGH!
So now we are going to another site: http://www.pingdom.com/ to make sure we
get notified a little earlier...

It's back up now of course...

Thanks !

Stu

Anyone know what happened to the Knowbe4 website?  After months of getting
calls from them I'm finally able to bring it up at our security meeting and
now I can't get to it.

RE: SSD for lab Hyper-V server

Thanks Sean, I couldn't recall the acronyms even though we just went through

MLC is the TLA you're looking for. Multi Level Cell SSDs provide higher
density at a lower cost. SLC provide fast performance and endurance, but at
a higher cost. I like the comparison covered in the following paper.

Check that the kind of SSD, there is MFC and SLC I think are the acronyms,
one is single layer or multi layer. The single layer are much faster and
more reliable. They don't really announce if they are single or multi, you
have to do a little digging . 

 

We just did a nice Nexenta SAN with 8x2TB drives, and 4 80GB SSD for logging
and write caching, it made a huge difference when we realized we had MFC and
changed them to SLC drives.

Enjoy the HD speed.  Depending on the age of the PE, you'll be running
slower than expected from a CPU / memory point of view.

 

Perhaps take the SSD and put it in a newer home PC and enjoy the boot and
operational speed there...

OS and regular (and much bigger) SATA drives? Would the SSD speed be kind of
wasted on server core?
