At these prices, they can't even afford a picture of an SSD.

HDD being used for SSD is like using a floppy disk icon for saving data to a HDD!

Meanwhile, all evidence points toward AI working better when small models get trained harder. Also, maximum data is losing out to curated data.

All of which has long been known in econometrics and modeling. Just throwing everything at any model doesn't make it better, but often worse. There's an art to modeling. A creativity in interpretation and selection required.

I'm not sure it's that kind of model.

My disk purchases this year: Crucial, WD, and then Seagate.

I'm the cause.
