CPU Core Temperature Variation Under light use it sits at 60C, hits 70C under load with turbo boost off, and 85C with TB on under load. The highest I've seen the CPU at was 90C with TB on + Furmark + Prime Torture Test - At that point the clock speed was automatically reduced (thankfully - I was getting a bit worried by that point). I didn't know its common to have cores with that much of temperature difference, hence why I was concerned. Glad to hear that its nothing to worry about =) |

CPU Core Temperature Variation I mean 3 out of 1-4, so nope, thats not it. Good thinking though |

Can this defeat deep packet inspection? With enough computing power, anything can be tracked and/or cracked. The question is more a matter of "is the cost of tracking this worth the value of the data to the attacker?". Depending on circumstance, your setup might be way over the top, or it might be only just sufficient. |

Disable “Do you want to change the color scheme to improve performance?” warning Awesome :D There isn't any important maintenance messages that I'll be missing out on by turning this off? |

Seagate Momentus XT corrupting files (Linux and Mac) I'll be able to run an extended test tomorrow, today my laptop is doing some number crunching. It might be useful if someone with a Mac could run the tests, perhaps this explains why Mac folks have freezing issues with the XT. |

Seagate Momentus XT corrupting files (Linux and Mac) I've been using my laptop's secondary internal hard drive for the input directory. |

Seagate Momentus XT corrupting files (Linux and Mac) Installed Ubuntu on my USB drive, but it had some error message about a radeon-switcheroo and refused to boot, so I tried the Live CD again. Didn't lock up this time (possibly because I didn't try listening to music at the same time? =P). The results are weird - It copied the 4GB file five times, and they were all fine. No errors at all. I guess I could make an ext4 partition for testing and see if that changes anything? Or perhaps 5 times wasn't enough. |

Hard Drive Start / Stop count & Firmware Update I guess so. It worries me that there's such a massive difference between the two drives, but maybe i'm just being paranoid. |

Seagate Momentus XT corrupting files (Linux and Mac) Turns out that flushing buffers while using a Live CD install is a great way to make it lock up, I'll go find a spare drive to install to instead, heh |

Seagate Momentus XT corrupting files (Linux and Mac) @Ironclaw: Sure =) The Seagate forums won't let me register, so I'll have to post the results here again. |

Seagate Momentus XT corrupting files (Linux and Mac) @Ironclaw I wrote a C# program that compared each file byte by byte. Also double-checked by running WinDiff. According to both the files are identical. Your data isn't at risk, it seems. Maybe Linux makes some assumption about buffering which stands for other drives, but not this one? |

Seagate Momentus XT corrupting files (Linux and Mac) I just compared the two files on Windows 7, and they are exactly the same. These are the same two files that Ubuntu came up saying they were different. |

Seagate Momentus XT corrupting files (Linux and Mac) My Momentus XT (SD22, NTFS) failed the test with a 4GB file running from an Ubuntu 11.04 LiveCD on an HP dv7-6014tx. I'll try it on Windows 7 once I've figured out how to make sure its not caching anything. |

Seagate Momentus XT corrupting files (Linux and Mac) I've got a Momentus XT, but its running Windows 7. I'll test it on Win7. I could boot into Linux using a USB device, but I don't know a whole lot about Linux commandline, so that'd probably end in disaster, heh |
