Samsung SSD 850 Pro is out and seems to be awesome:
Anandtech
“The performance is there. The endurance is the best of the class. Heck, even Samsung’s feature and software suites beat the competition by a mile. To be honest, there is not a single thing missing in the 850 Pro because regardless of the angle you look at the drive from, it it will still top the charts.”

Random Weekend Stuff…

Wil Wheaton has a new show on Syfy.

I went up to D.C. to visit (some of) the Smithsonian museums, the Washington Monument, and Mount Vernon. It was a great experience and one I would recommend.

The dumpster is for metal scrap but on first glance that is not what I saw 😉
