Benchmark: Kingston DataTraveler 101 DT101 G2 16GB


I was curious about Kingston USB flash performance. The overall performance is poor.

Write performance: 3.7 MB/s
ReWrite performance: 3.0 MB/s
Read performance: 22.5 MB/s
Random Seeks: 4.3 / sec

Comparing to Samsung S2 Portable 500GB USB 2.0 External HD:
9.4 times slower for write
5.7 times slower for rewrite
2.0 times slower for reading
28.79 times less seeks / sec

Full performance output:

[root@ace ~]# bonnie++ -n 0 -u 0 -r 7000 -f -b -d /mnt

Nice information about such a slow write performance usb stick.

I get crazy waiting to write data on it. I found it fast when I read data. I copied data to format to NTFS and after that took hours to recopy data in it.
If I read your post before I wouldnt format my usb stick.

Thank you

Toshiba R830 and 16GB of RAM

Image
The datasheet of Toshiba R830-10P mentions that the maximum memory capacity is 8GB. See it  here . But Intel says that the i7-2620M supports up to 16GB of RAM. See it here . I have asked for help on Toshiba Forums. Nothing useful from there. See it here . I was curious as I have a very particular need for 16GB of RAM. Today I decided to give it a try. I bought two Patriot PSD38G13332S (8GB PC3 - 10600 1333MHz CL9 SoDimm) and installed it on the notebook. It just worked. So if you have the need for 16GB of RAM and a similar notebook from Toshiba, you can install 16GB of RAM.

Five steps to create Fedora chroot jail using yum

Pre-Notes: - This will work only if your Linux Distro is based on RPM and YUM. I have tested it on Fedora but it may also work on RHEL and Centos... It will NOT work on Ubuntu, Debian, Suse... - The operating system and its version will be the same inside and outside the chroot jail. - On the example, the chroot will be placed at: /chroot/devel - To install different version of Fedora or other RPM based distro, it will be necessary to manage yum package repositories outside the jail. The five steps: # 1 - Create the chroot directory $ sudo mkdir -p /chroot/devel/var/lib/rpm # 2 - Initiate rpm db on chroot $ sudo rpm --root /chroot/devel --initdb # 3 - download Fedora Release package. # If you do not want Fedora, download the correct *-release package and use it # on step 4. There are examples on the references. $ yumdownloader --destdir=/tmp fedora-release # 4 - Install downloaded Fedora release inside chroot $ sudo rpm --root /chroot/devel -ivh /tmp/fedora-release*r...

How to recompile software with hardware optimization?

This may be useful for compiling local applications that you want to run faster. Try this on your computer: $ echo "" | gcc -march=native -v -E - 2>&1 | grep cc1 On my computer it has returned:  /usr/libexec/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.6.1/cc1 -E -quiet -v  - -march=corei7-avx -mcx16 -msahf -mno-movbe -maes -mpclmul -mpopcnt -mno-abm -mno-lwp -mno-fma -mno-fma4 -mno-xop -mno-bmi -mno-tbm -mavx -msse4.2 -msse4.1 --param l1-cache-size=32 --param l1-cache-line-size=64 --param l2-cache-size=4096 -mtune=corei7-avx This command probes the local computer for optimization flags. To use it: $ CFLAGS=" [blue string from above] " ./configure You may consider adding the "-O3" flag. The -O3 flag enables levels 1, 2 and 3 of compile time optimization. There are more information about -O3 on gcc man page. For doing it, instead of previous line, use: $ CFLAGS="-O3  [blue string from above] " ./configure From:  http://blog.mybox.ro/2011/11/02...
