hey friends!
what's your opinion on LINUS TECH TIPS? this channel on youtube has been my new go-to poo poo-to-watch-while-eating. I like it, but I wonder what's the general consensus in YOSPOS?

he had one series of videos where he decided to cool a room full of computers by running a bunch of water pipes around the room to water cool them all and then run the pipe outside to dump the waste heat. but it turned out most of the heat just radiated back into the room via the copper pipes before it even got outside :waycool:

Isn't a Windows striped volume pretty much RAID 0? You are certainly not getting any parity with 3 source volumes.

I guess Linus sperged out comparing performance between the options, does anyone just stop at NTFS named mounts?

edit: I cannot find any material anywhere recommending anything other than RAID 0,1,10 on SSDs. They would have to be really expensive controllers to match raw SSD performance.
