I bought a 2242 size m.2 SSD to use as lvm cache for an external DAS I'm working with. The drive is supposed to be 64GB, but when I pulled it up in gparted I found the below. (I created the partition to see what would happen.) If my calculations are correct, this drive is acting like a 1TB drive instead of a 64GB drive.

If my calculator is correct, a 64GB drive should be 59.6 GiB instead of 931.5 GiB.

So, would you trust this drive?

I cannot think of any world in which there is any kind of logic that could even remotely justify such a move.

Then again, logic hasn't stopped Trump in either his first or second term....

At this point a shutdown might be for the best -- keep them from changing a bunch of stuff in parts of the government where we aren't looking at.

That's one of the things that really has me nervous -- we're seeing so much crap that they are doing publicly that I am really concerned about the stuff we aren't seeing.

Just what nobody wanted in their eReading software.

Mine's best for me:I get it set up the way I want, the updates are frequent but not too frequent, and it has all the packages I need.

My choice isn't necessarily (or even likely) the best for everyone. There's a lot to consider when selecting (or recommneding) a distribution. It's not a one-size-fits-all scenario.

 

Just set up my new system... Did some work to try to make things more consistent looking on my desktop. In the picture: Whisker Menu, fastfetch, bpytop, alacritty.

I don't know if you were joking or not... But in case you weren't: the Intel guys typically have information about upcoming / unreleased products before the details are out in the open. Yes, the drivers can be maintained by the community when the information is available... But, day one driver support won't be there (since they are generally developed in-house by Intel, and then pushed up to the kernel for release), and community development would (likely) take significantly longer....

And on the Enterprise customer side, there might be some hesitation about adopting newer Intel products that don't have drivers officially supported by the company...at least in environments where Linux would be the (logical) choice... That might lead Enterprises to look at Windows instead of Linux.
