• Dire SMB speed with on PC to NAS

  Assuming two systems use flash storage, network bandwidth is identical and it is configured the same way, there should be an issue within the PC, either system or storage drive. Check the system logs for errors and warning events related to data transfer from/to NAS. Try to benchmark the PCs' disks using fio to confirm they have similar performance. https://github.com/axboe/fio. Source: 12 months ago

• Ask HN: What are some good resources for learning about low level disk/file IO?

  Not specifically addressing your question, but when you get to the point of wanting to start doing some experiments you may find that 'fio' [1] is very handy. [1] https://github.com/axboe/fio. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• KVM virtual machines on ZFS benchmarks

  The dd is not a good benchmarking tool, you should use something like fio and probably tune it to use the ioengine most similar to your use case (eg. a database server will probably use some async IO interface). In your first example (with bs=1G) probably something (the guest OS, the qemu/kvm or the host OS) have split into smaller chunks anyway. Source: about 1 year ago

• SSD Sequential Write Slowdowns

  All linux tests are run with fio 3.32 (github) with future commit 03900b0bf8af625bb43b10f0627b3c5947c3ff79 manually applied. Source: over 1 year ago

• Just write the f*****g parser.

  Agree, I used flex/yacc to add an arithmetic expression evaluator to fio a few years back to allow simple math with some units in fio's job files, and for stuff like that, they're fine, but I wouldn't want to use them for a real language, the error handling is kind of a nightmare.

• Fan Control apps on Apple Silicone

• Recommendation on how to make diablo 4 run cooler on M1 Max?

  You can make device cooler by manually turning on the fan and tinkering with the RPM of fan to make it run cooler when running games. Macboook by default does not turn on the Fans until its over 90 degree. You can use this free Fan control software. I have been using it and my mac runs cooler when gaming and such.

• CPU/system fans stopped on wake

  Install Macs Fan Control or TG Pro and see if you can get the fans to start up again after wake. Source: about 1 year ago

• Must-have add-ons/accessories for MBP

  Get Macs fan control, the built in temperature for when the fans kicks in is very high. https://crystalidea.com/macs-fan-control. Source: about 1 year ago

• Is it time for a new computer or are my issues fixable?

  Knowing how one might reproduce an issue doesn’t mean the cause is failing hardware. Apple Diagnostics may be able to tell you more, and Macs Fan Control can tell you if the fans are in working order and you can make them spin faster if you want. Source: about 1 year ago
