    Acer BMA150 accelerometer

    After the latest kernel update I noticed a new information line in the Ksyslogs about detecting the Acer BMA150 accelerometer on my Acer V3-771, which is used to detect sudden changes in the laptop and park the hard drive.
    I did some research and discovered that info, and some more.
    http://askubuntu.com/questions/75694...50-not-working

    The net result is that utility hdapsd does not work on my V3, nor does iio-sensor-proxy, so I removed them after testing them.

      Ya, I've been looking at the Samsung 850 Pro 250GB 2.5" SATA III.
      It's $137 at Amazon. But, this afternoon, they salted a web page I was visiting with one for $127.
      Temptation, temptation, temptation ....

        I just wanted you to know I'm doing this from memory -

        Once I was happy and I had a good wife,
        I had enough money to last me for life...
        Then I met with a beauty and we went on a spree,
        She started me smoking and drinking whiskey

        chorus...
        we see things not as they are, but as we are.

            Of the three listed, it must be the wild, wild women.

                Here's my SSD 256GB Samsung 850 Pro vs. HDD 2TB Hitachi Deskstar 7K1000

                SSD: Timing buffered disk reads: 744 MB in 3.00 seconds = 247.85 MB/sec

                HDD: Timing buffered disk reads: 250 MB in 3.02 seconds = 82.80 MB/sec

                Sad part is, here's a medium priced Kingston 32GB USB 3.0 thumb drive:

                Timing buffered disk reads: 334 MB in 3.01 seconds = 110.89 MB/sec

                Beats the hard drive.

                  Now Amazon is tweaking me with $157 (!!!) Samsung Pro ads.

                    B&H and NewEgg $138

                    or you could opt for the EVO instead of Pro for $99. I doubt you'd notice the difference and you'll DEFINITELY notice having any SSD over the old HD.

                    Personal experience: B&H has better customer service.

                      Ya, I saw the EVO. Looks good to me!
