So… EA astro turfing?

I guess the first one about charging sorts out the issue mentioned in the gamers nexus review. No news about streaming on Linux though.

I mean, I’m talking on my experience on the Steam Deck, but I think it still might apply. Load times are slower in general. I reckon if a game streams assets on the fly heavily (a GTA-like game, a heavy open world game), that might put it to the test. But I haven’t had cases where it just struggles to keep the game flow because of storage streaming speed. It’s just…you feel it installing and handling big file chunks is a slower process in general.

On a Steam Deck, it is noticeable. Some blame the SD reader itself, which might not give the best speeds, but there’s a noticeable difference between a very expensive very fast SD, and the still faster internal storage. Load times on heavy games groom the SD can be… Long.

Thanks! I was seeing if there was a way to do it while avoiding a full blown desktop PC case :(

Awesome, I have more or less easy access to Chinese products! I’m going to take a look at these!

Thanks…I didn’t know about this. But this doesn’t resolve the initial question. What hardware could I use to have accelerated ollama, diffussion etc?

Thanks! I was considering using it perhaps to have a diffusion model? Or running ollama or similar without a RAM hit on my laptop or phone. Also whisper comes to mind, for Bazarr or other tools to use.

Where I live I have an interesting second hand market. I might be able to find something older like LTO5 at reasonable prices. I’m not sure however about the SAS to USB adapter…

Wow this one looks major, and possibly disruptive.
