Sustained transfer speed may be the same but seek time will be better, as will transfer speeds for large numbers of small files.

Crap I didn’t even think of seek speeds. I was working off of bad information, or at least outdated information who knows.

Edit: So SATA II doesn’t affect seek speeds, only transfer speeds right?

Seek speed is a function of the disk; the CPU tells the controller "I need data at this spot" and the disk has to go find it. With a spinning platter it needs to move the head to the right location, whereas with an SSD it just plugs in the address and goes. Transfer speed is based on the cable interface, as the data needs to go over said cable.

Gotcha. So even though you won’t get the speed benefits for this particular case in terms of transfer speed, you at least get some improvement in seek speed, right?

That’s certainly what I would expect to be the case.

I heard. It's sad considering how they were viciously cyberbullied, especially since they were bullied for being autistic.

Oh no! Every time I read one of the rants and saw the reactions the community had to it, all I could think was that there's no way anyone had any reason to complain, let alone being attacked personally because it isn't the way everyone expects the program to work despite it all being free for anyone to enjoy.

Had a good weekend for the most part, my partner and I had a somewhat normal date night for the first time since the pandemic started. We went out to a restaurant my friend opened and then went to see A Quiet Place 2 at the theater. Definitely felt weird being back in a movie theater, but I was glad to finally do that again. My friends' daughter was also born on Sunday afternoon! Everything went alright, I'm very happy for them.

Was sad to hear the news about Near today, definitely a big loss for the retro gaming community. Sending well wishes to his friends and family. My partner also received news that her aunt who has been in a nursing home is moving to end of life care. She's only in her late 50's, so it's really unfortunate.

And for being non-binary, and for being so susceptible to being bullied. That’s how the KF crew work. If their tactics are working they double down. It’s disgusting. And Near wasn’t the first. They won’t be the last unless something is done.
