One way or another, each of us at least [...]
In the previous article, we already considered the question of “Can we use RAID on SSDs” using the example of Kingston drives, but we did this only within the framework of the zero level. In this article, we will analyze the options for using professional and home NVMe solutions in the most popular types of RAID arrays and talk about the compatibility of Broadcom controllers with Kingston drives. Why do you need RAID on [...]

Lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles can last 8 to 10 years. Even at the end of their life, their capacity can remain between 60% and 80% of their original capacity. This represents a loss for the vehicle, resulting in a significant reduction in range on a full (available) battery charge. However, as backup batteries […]
