Updated from -rc5, no problems seen.  Thanks.

Thank you for the update.  Updated from -rc4 without issue.  At a quick glance, working as expected. While it's a minor cosmetic enhancement, I especially like the hover-over colour change in the drive and shares lists - it's a big help when looking at info spread across a larger screen.

I heard that the NAND chips run better hot, so you shouldn't add heatsinks (which is why they don't come with them in the first place).

Not sure where you heard that.  In silicon based semiconductor, leakage current increase with temperature.  Also transistor speed tends to reduce with temperature, slowing things down.  While flash memory cells (NAND or NOR) are designed to operate over a range of temperatures, there is no benefit in running them hot.  You will run the risk of slightly shortening their working life.  The best thing for semiconductors is always moderate temperatures with good long-term stability to prevent stresses caused by thermal cycling and differential expansion.  The latter is not a big issue, but is best minimised. 

 

These devices do not as a rule come with heatsinks because the manufactures expect that appropriate cooling methods are already in place (adequate airflow, motherboard heat spreaders, etc.) and because it adds cost.  Where heatsinks are provided it's either because the devices run abnormally hot, or in many cases I suspect it's a marketing gimmick (based on the advertising that tends to accompany such devices).

Updated from 6.9.2 to 6.10.0-rc2 without issues.  Thanks for this update.

 

Hardware is IvyBridge generation, so relatively old, as per my sig.  Despite this, compatibility seems improved vs 6.9.2 with noticeably better display support (no longer restricted to 80x25 on local monitor).

Personally, I am not affected (not using VMs here), but that sounds like a good way forwards.

Was going to reply to this earlier but forgot, I also don't really like this write method auto switch, not when write mode is set to "reconstruct write", why not use the "auto" setting for this? That would be fine, but when set to "rw" I would prefer that "rw" would always be used.

 

 

Excellent suggestion.  I would quite like to see this way of controlling the adaptive write method behaviour implemented at some point (even if not at 6.8).
