    What's our industry rule of thumb when it comes to double sided NVMe drive? avoid it? if not, how do you cool the back side?

    that's good to know. On my PC, air flow should be very good, I have 3 front fan x 120mm, 2 top fan + 2 bottom fan x 140mm, + 1 rear at 120mm, and it's a semi open frame On an off topic, I have no faith on any product from Western Digital. Too many failure on the ones I've seen. Although they...

    What's our industry rule of thumb when it comes to double sided NVMe drive? avoid it? if not, how do you cool the back side?

    does most brand only c/w single side NVMe ? even the 4TB ver.? or does the industry still make double sided? as I'm at Crucial for e.g., they don't show photo of the back up , so how does anyone what's the back side? regardless, how do you fix the lack of heat sink on the back side of any...

    So after this BTC halving, should I invest a ton of money or what?

    So after this BTC halving, should I invest a ton of money or what?

    " after this BTC halving, should I invest a ton of money or what?" to the original poster who start the above question, clearly the answer is no. It is now clear that some overly enthusiastic buyers were expecting a rise after the halving at or near Apr. 16, so they bought up these bitcoin...

    Ripping music CD on Nero didn't get 1.4Mbps on FLAC

    well said. I finally have time to try out dBpoweramp, it is much better, it rips all those songs at 1.4MBps, I don't know if this is simple programming to do or not, if so, Nero should be able to do the same. I rarely rip CD, this is the 2nd CD in 5 yr. When I bought Nero, it's for burning...

    Ripping music CD on Nero didn't get 1.4Mbps on FLAC

    I paid for the Nero s/w. I'm not going to buy another s/w. The thing about using a s/w that you know best, is that you know where the bugs are, and you know what to expect from that s/w. If I try a new s/w, I have to start from scratch to find out what kind of bugs are in that new s/w...

    How many % of today's PC can be windows 12 ready? And why is Windows 10 lifespan shorter than prev. version?

    So after this BTC halving, should I invest a ton of money or what?

    I am simply stating that there is no way that there is any stock or ETF or commodity or in your case, Bitcoin that has parabolic gain, and it can HOLD that kind of gain. As recent as this morning, at CNBC, Steve Cohen of Point72 said the same thing, he's neutral on bitcoin. He said his son...
