12gb quantum bigfoot ts as swap
Things I've fixed: anything from semis to crappy Chinese $2 radios, and now an IoT Dildo....

Excuse me while i do something dangerous
You must have a sad, sad boring life if you hate on people harmlessly enjoying life with an animal costume.
Sometimes you need to break shit to fix it.... Thats why my lawnmower doesn't have a deadman switch or engine brake anymore

Re: 12gb quantum bigfoot ts as swap
You do realize that random access time, not sequential access speed, is what matters for swap, right?
On a related note, why haven't any companies released 5.25" full-height drives for a long time? They would sure make people that need a lot of storage but not a lot of speed very happy. I could see 20TB being stored on one of those...

Re: 12gb quantum bigfoot ts as swap
using flash is a possibility, but since there is soooo much random writing, the write cycles would get used up waaay to fast. Better get an extended warranty on it
in Win7, I had no swap file, 12GB of ram. Thing ran beautifully. I can say that is one of my fav advantages over the winNT5 kernelCap Datasheet Depot: http://www.paullinebarger.net/DS/
