Today in a lab environment I unexpectedly received the dreaded The trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain failed. In the past, I would simply de-join the server from the domain and re-join again. This time I decided to research for a better option and found one! After some searching, I stumbled onto an […]

Optimize SSD speed via driver and 4K alignment

Ever since I received my new corporate laptop, I had a feeling that perhaps the SSD drive was not running as fast as it could be, especially for writes. I decided to start of with an initial benchmark: While read performance looks pretty good 🙂 I think I have USB stick drives with better write […]
