Fixing incredibly slow launching on Intel’s Rapid Storage Technology / Virtual RAID on CPU application

Intel has a technology called Virtual RAID on CPU (VROC) that lets you set up RAID arrays of NVMe SSDs, with the RAID calculations being offloaded to specialised hardware on the CPU instead of being done in software. When I built my workstation back in 2019, I installed an Asus HYPER M.2 card, which is… Read More Fixing incredibly slow launching on Intel’s Rapid Storage Technology / Virtual RAID on CPU application

Notes on capacitors, part 2: aluminium electrolytics

This is part two of my “convert a bunch of notes I made about capacitors into a blog post” series. If you missed part one, which covered ceramics and MLCCs, you may wish to read it first: Again, this article is mostly going to be useful to you if you already know a bunch about… Read More Notes on capacitors, part 2: aluminium electrolytics

Notes on capacitors, part 1: ceramics & MLCCs

I’ve been reading about capacitors a lot lately. Not just their high-level circuit behaviours, but also their materials and physical properties. I put together a heap of notes on the topic. Knowing me, these notes will languish in my documents folder and I’ll never look at them again. And that’s ok, because that’s just how… Read More Notes on capacitors, part 1: ceramics & MLCCs
