Almost 3 gigs a second!? That's fast. Is that with a single hard drive or a raid configuration?

That's a single drive.
You can RAID them together if you've got the capability of having more than one M.2 drive on the motherboard or in expansion slots. Keep in mind that each PCIe connected drive is going to use either 2 or 4 PCIe lanes and your motherboard chipset only gives you a limited number of extra lanes to play with. If you're going to add multiple video cards, those are going eat up the extra lanes before you get around to adding more M.2 drives.

Good to know. I don't think I will need that kind of power on my home rig yet (the games I play stress the CPU more then the GPU) but it might be very useful for building data application sandboxes with multiple containers/virtual machines on a development box.

It'll do very well on an NVMe drive. At work, I've got a machine dedicated as a virtual host on my desk with 24GB of RAM and a 1TB SATA SSD. I can run 4 machines simultaneously with a little degradation in speed on them compared to running Windows directly on the host.
Swap out that SATA SSD with an NMVe drive and you could probably run 5 machines simultaneously without any degradation in speed.

Hmm, the wheels are turning. You could make one nice little physical MS SQL database server with a couple of those and a mini ITX motherboard and server tower. With just one PCIe slot and no need for graphics you could put the Log and Temp files on two M.2 sticks in the PCI slot, data goes in a hot-swapable Raid 5 SATA SSD x4 array, with C: and backups on plain old spinning disks. It's not data-center grade but it would be quite respectable for under $800.

The update to fix the updater.

We're celebrating here with an Update Party.
We'll basically be standing around doing our normal activity, maybe eating a meal.
Then, suddenly, we'll just stop doing anything.
Maybe if we're right in the middle of chewing some pizza, suddenly we'll stop.
Then we'll all just start randomly yelling things out. Then we'll all go home, change our clothes.
After that, we'll return to the party and finish chewing our pizza.
It's going to be super fun!!!!!

Some will likely throw up the pizza (unsaved open documents)
Some will forget where home is and never be seen again, (crash)
others will come back wearing their small children's clothing, one or two may even be naked (settings/prefs reset/lost forever)
a few may finish chewing their pizza, others will choke unable to swallow nor spit it out, (app crash/rendered incompatible)
it's not over yet, some will go home again and change again, and again, and again
microsoft will suggest sending the lost ones to nursary, and start over from there. (clean re-install)
and the ms fanlemmings will be cheering, saying how great ms is and that their sh*t smells like roses.

Not sure which one you're referring to. Microsoft is pushing updates to the updater every few months; they're generally referred to as "servicing stack updates".
The last one to come out was just 3 days ago (KB3211320). Are you seeing some specific problem?

I think he may have been referring to the thread about the next Windows 10 update, a few threads down.

The fact that installing the update increases disk usage by 2GB?
Windows 10 tends to clean up older files that have been updated after 30 days or so on its own, unlike previous versions. Unless you're using a tablet with 8GB or some-such (hello, HP Stream 7), I wouldn't worry too much about it...

I am not worried. I have tons of spare space on my systems drive, but I thought I should mention it for the sake of someone who may not be in the same position.

I think the OP was a joke.
We need a woosh smiley.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

There is a joke icon already. I just used it as a sample.
But hey, I should be used to it by now. This is what I get for trying to be helpful and posting useful links, instead of assuming others are just going on childish rants about how Windows is broken without providing any specifics.

If you choose your sport and just google that scoreing_method you wont get a definitive answer. Unless it's rugby. It was 35 years ago today.

Kirkpatrick to Williams. This is great stuff. Phil Bennett covering. Chased by Alistair Scown. Brilliant! Oh, that's brilliant! John Williams, Bryan Williams. Pullin. John Dawes, great dummy. To David, Tom David, the half-way line! Brilliant by Quinnell! This is Gareth Edwards! A dramatic start! What a score! Oh, that fellow Edwards!

It was rather good. Also interesting to see those (acceptable) high tackles, and all the boots going into the ruck. I once heard Brian Moore explain the latter with the comment, "that's just what we used to call a good shoeing".

An impressive try! I used to play rugby at school and at university, but as a skinny nerd was never very good at it. In the end what I took away from the game, was a buggered up knee, that still bothers me from time to time.

What language is Rugby? Is that some new version of Ruby?
Wait. Is this all about Agile Scrum or something else...?

It's a very simple game where one player gets the ball, and the other team tries to kill him.
A bit like the guy with the bad news in a management meeting.

Yeah! Rugby is the *real* football, played by *real* men, unlike the American version where the sissies wear half a ton of padding in case they get an ouchy!
