RD 3500MB/s, seq WR 3300 MB/s, 15.6" display 1080p. Seems to be the best combination of stuff I can find for the price. Can a standard make laptop beat that and be relatively painless linux compatible?</div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Jan 6, 2021 at 4:17 PM Bill Ricker <<a href="mailto:bill.n1vux@gmail.com">bill.n1vux@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif"><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Jan 6, 2021 at 3:45 PM Joshua Judson Rosen <<a href="mailto:rozzin@hackerposse.com" target="_blank">rozzin@hackerposse.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
