One feature that's nice if I'm not mistaken is that you can swap out the stick module or whatever they call them instead of buying a new controller.

stepee Posted February 26 Author Share Posted February 26 After being very happy with the Shield T7 for external game storage on my desktop and laptop, I went with a 4tb Shield T9 for more storage. It’s the same thing except it’s 2000mbps now and I think even better ruggedness. Definitely fine for pretty much any game at that speed - tested Rachet on it and of course ran with no issues. I’m glad we have suitable external drives now as I really prefer the ease of use of just stacking more of them. 15tb total for storage on the desktop now!

Remarkableriots Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I tried playing the original Grand Theft Auto, which loads the start screen. Unfortunately, when it starts the game, it just has a black screen. I can hear gameplay sounds, but it never loads the game completely.

Remarkableriots Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 TSMC founder says unnamed customers want 10 new fabs to build AI chips | Tom's Hardware WWW.TOMSHARDWARE.COM More AI requires more silicon. Quote TSMC founder and industry icon Morris Chang says that customers have approached him to build up to ten new fabs for AI processors, an incredible request that speaks to an insatiable demand. The request isn't entirely surprising, as the demand for processors used for AI applications is booming, and it is well known that market leader Nvidia cannot satisfy it. Meanwhile, the amount of AI compute performance available to companies like OpenAI appears insufficient, which is why companies are demanding more processors from existing suppliers, and some are even planning to build their own silicon. So that's around $5 billion to $15 billion or even higher per fab. So that's a LOT of money if I understand it correctly. $50-150 billion or more.

Remarkableriots Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Apple Silicon Takes Another Step Forward As Company Begins Development Of Chips Based On TSMC's 2nm Process For 2025 WCCFTECH.COM The latest information suggests Apple has already started development of chips based on TSMC's 2nm architecture for future products. Quote Other than 2nm chips, it was also previously noted that the company has also begun work on 1.4nm chips, which will be available in 2027. Apple has been approaching TSMC to reserve a share of the 1.4nm and 1nm chips as well. As mentioned, the performance and efficiency of the chip are inversely proportional to the nanometer count. This means that the company's development of 2nm chips will feature enhanced computational and graphical performance with lower power consumption. Apple is expected to use 2nm chips in 2025 for iPhones and Macs. If the news has any heft, the technology could be part of the A19 chips and M4 chips. As for performance gains, we are expecting a 10 to 15 percent increase with 25 to 30 percent lower power consumption. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t want to open my laptop so I just put a t7 shield 4tb connected to my laptop and it works great. I also use a t7 for extended storage on my desktop and added a t9 last week which is twice as fast but you pay extra for that model. I’m pretty happy with them.

If your laptop has a thunderbolt connection, you can get an external (thunderbolt) housing for an m.2 and put an m.2 of your choice in it. If you don’t have a thunderbolt connection you can get a usb gen 3 one (thunderbolt is a usb connector but faster). Other option would be to get an external SSD like what Stepee has recommended, but, again, make sure it’s at minimum USB3 speeds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
