Does it work?

yea it works pretty good, the internal is pretty clean, the capacitors are ok, just the body need some cleaning

I tend to leave LTE turned off and just run with 3G+. LTE doesn't always work so I just prefer to set 3g as my preferred network. I should really look at switching networks

Smaller countries in Europe usually get infrastructure upgrades sooner. For example BG had 100Mbit almost 20 years ago.

Yes but no... UK in general is very backwards in the fact that alot of internet is being routed from peoples homes via copper cables that predate WWII - A lot of our public rail system is like this too but those have seen some modernisation over the years or at least attempted modernisation.

We pay a lot for the services but most of it goes into the pockets of the executives rather than the hardware/infrastructure and even. So long as they meeting contractual obligations (i.e the bare minimum) and thus providing some semblance of a service, it is classed as working as intended.

Probably 60%+ of my city is all on fibre now as it is a closed system so i guess easier for them to do.

And you think that smaller EU countries are not corrupt LMAO
Regardless of the reason behind it what I said still holds true.

They might be, but country like Lithuania at some point had fastest average internet speed on planet and even today you can get 1gbps wired internet for like ~21 EUR or on low end you can get 100mbps wired for 8 EUR. There's also 4G LTE almost everywhere too (there's like 96% coverage of whole country). It's not terribly clean of corruption either.

Again that's what I've been saying.
Most people would expect that larger and economically stronger countries to have better infrastructure but that's rarely the case is what I'm getting at.

The problem with large economies are two fold when it comes to this issue. The first is the cost of replacing thousands of meters of Copper to gain faster throughput. The second is that most of the infrastructure was put in before the Greed coefficient became greater than public will. In America you can see it in how they subsidize things like Corn and let the cost of a Combine skyrocket.

mSATA / M.2 NGFF (sata) to 6gbps sata adapter. $1.50 CAD shipped after coupon from a chinese e-retailer. I don't know how they do it without losing money. Teaming it up with an orico external USB-C enclosure I picked up off oval shaped e-retailer last year for a tenner. Helpful for troubleshooting and backing up off various drive that come through my hands.

There's a switch on it for moving between the connectors I suspect that will be the first thing to go awry one day.

Why not a PCIe card with M.2, ok for external enclosure.

 

[Count von Schwalbe]

Looks like a B-key M.2, the drive must support SATA protocol. No pcie-usb translation, saves cost.

The Perfine 10k Battery - V20 LG (as of now no SIM as of no carrier thus no more 3G bc the phone relies on it for various purposes like video calls thus not existing now. I live in Daphne AL so if anyone can help me out I'm game lol but I have the SAMSUNG A53 5G

Soon In my hands

Exactly. For external enclosure. I also have some small half size mSATA drives I can now move around between testbenches since it's an uncommon format for slots outside of thin clients and some older ultra portables.

Looks like a B-key M.2, the drive must support SATA protocol. No pcie-usb translation, saves cost.

Yup, exactly. I already have an nvme pcie adapter for when that's needed, but the mSATA and m.2 sata have shown up a few times and made for awkward machine swapping.

Got this guy in today.. was going to see if it fit with my current setup but pretty sure it won’t.. I will mount it when my Ultra120 Extreme comes in next week

Actually not sure if I will use this one or the bigger one I have from my last order..

The other one..

Yes it is

I have one too though not in use ATM, due to one slot on this board , a truly doh purchase while I was on cocodamol or something , I nearly said crack but some take me too literally for that.

Bought a random 1155 motherboard. I got an i5-2320 previously from my friend, now I can build a little box which I'll take to my parents and leave it there as it sucks to play with my laptop there.

Yes, it is still quite powerful and the screen and overall build quality are great! It feels like a black Macbook Pro
