    How big is the new power adapter?

    21TB of SSD space - not so long ago that 20GB of HDD was a thing 🙂 What speeds do you get with benchmark tools like AS SSD, ATTO and crystal and how about copying stuff between your 980 PRO and the raid? Do 3 PCIe 3 SSDs in RAID0 go above 3.5GB/s when copying data? Looks like a cool setup to store and run a bunch of VMs on.

    I am awaiting a Crucial P3 Pro 4TB - preordered for 443€. Might arrive today or tomorrow. Cant use it to its full potential on my 7740 which has only PCIe 3 slots, but will carry it over to the next laptop. I'll report back how it goes. Edit: The initial estimate after pre-order was 19th of Juli, now arrival is estimated in two month - so it will take a while to say something about that model.

    Even stranger: I wanted to check the event log entries of one of our DCs and mstsc asked me for my fingerprint before I could logon to the server with user/pwd. That fingerprint check succeeded. Login to my laptop by fingerprint still fails. Hmm... I am waiting for a new SSD (Crucial P3 Pro 4TB) and will setup Windows 11 from scratch and check if the problem remains.

    Between my first PIN change in the office and next usage from home several hours went by. I'll try that again on monday. But I think there should have been more than 30 minutes after the PIN reset and several tried to use the finger print reader. We switched from OpenVPN to FortiClient VPN two weaks ago. But I never needed a VPN connection to use my finger print from my home. The IT department had no idea what the reason could be 😉

    I cannot disable Windows Hello from the settings page. Maybe forced by a group policy?

    The error message I get seems to depend on the company network: at home I get "Your credentials could not be verified". When I connect to the corp network with a VPN connection I get "This option is temporarily (or currently) not available." So it seems to be some sort of communication with our company domain which fails.

    Mine is a golden square in the palm rest. So maybe FIPS - but it works fast. I read that FIPS tends to be slow. Yes the laptop is domain joined - hybrid domain with local DCs and an AzureAD. Not using a smart card. Just thought that the finger print reader might fall into that category of security devices. The error message I stated is not from the settings page, where you set up the finger prints. That is working. I can remove and add finger prints. Just when I (try to) use if for login, I get the error message, that this option is currently or temporarily not available. I reset my PIN (an option I was given when login with PIN failed) again. No I get "You credential could not be verified" for both PIN and finger print login attempts. Hmm...

    After the latest Windows Updates two days ago I cannot login with my finger print reader any more and I found this KB article: KB5005408: Smart card authentication might cause print and scan failures (microsoft.com) Could that be the cause, that my finger print reader is not compliant anymore? I removed and added finger prints, no change, reset my PIN, no change. After I scan my finger, there is a short flicker and than I always get "This option is temporarily not available. Please use a different..." (translated from german, so maybe not exactly the english wording). I think I have the none FIPS version, but not really sure. In device manager I see "Control Vault w/ Fingerprint Touch Sensor" from broadcom. Is there any tool to check for hardware and software compliance of the scanner and its driver? The driver shows 5.9.3.1 from 16.12.2021

    Yes, saw that article. I hope for an update, how things are going.

    @Dell-Mano_G do you have information how likely a standardization of CAMM is? Is Dell actively working that way?
  12. SvenC
    The german site shows WWAN for one FullHD+ screen and that adds the WWAN card as well. Dell Precision 7670 40,64 cm (16") Mobile Workstation: Dell Workstations | Dell Deutschland

    Going from 16GB CAMM to 64GB CAMM adds 831,51€ while you get 64GB DDR5 SO-DIMM (2x 32GB) for under 400€. That tops the +600€ to go from 16GB to 64GB on the 5770 quite a bit. Not good when there is no competition selling CAMM modules 😞

    No problems with the new 1.20.2 on my 7740 so far.
  15. SvenC
    My 7740 throttles with anything less than the dual cable dock. I think that is the reason for the DC or DCS recommendation. I guess we would need updated USB-C hardware in the laptop for 240W USB-C power to work. So I doubt you would be able to make use of a newer dock wth 240W over one cable on older Precision laptops. There were several posts that you get a little less performance with just the DC dock powering the laptop (its 210 instead of 240W). Not sure if that is just measurable or noticable. Might depend on the workload when CPU and GPU max out.

    I think I found it in Windows logs > Application. But maybe its more related to this modern standby thing...
  17. SvenC
    Had that once on my 7740 and checked the Windows application event log to find an event that some device did not react properly to the suspend command. The name indicated the smart card reader. Restarting the smartcard service solved it for me. So maybe the eventlog has some helpful information for you as well?

    The Precision models typically have a "build your own" offer and the 7xxx models are pretty free about your combinations. Here in germany I can choose iGPU with a 4K display.
  19. SvenC
    Hi @Dell-Mano_G, will this become true for the Precision 5770 as well? I would like an i7-12800h or i9-12900h combined with the iGPU, but currently the i7 auto selects the A2000 and the i9 the A3000
  20. SvenC
    Sounds good for the 7xxx line. Can you say the same about the 5xxx line? I am interested in a 5770 as I would prefer 17" and 16:10 over 16" 16:10 or 17,3 16:9. With those small bezels I would even go for a 18" 16:10, which should fit my current 7740 backpack 🙂
  21. SvenC
    @Dell-Mano_G Do you see a chance that we get more options to combine faster CPUs with iGPUs or at least a low level entry GPU? As a developer I am looking for CPU, RAM and storage but GPU is not relevant. Convincing the management to get a higher i7 or i9 gets more and more difficult with the currently available combinations.
  22. SvenC
    Size seems to depend on the ammount of RAM when you follow Aarons link on pcworld. Even if it seems bigger than 128 in 4 sodimms, they will fit on one side of the motherboard, so easier to replace and less height is needed.
  23. SvenC
    5770 is available in Germany. Only i5-12600H is available without dGPU. Going for an i7-12700H shows +7,73€ for the CPU and 611,06€ for the A2000 - hate that 😞 i9-12900H shows +38€ but if forces an A3000 with 12GB RAM (I really don't need that in any way) - so it goes to 3800€ instead of the base i5 with iGPU for 2000€. So at least 1000€ extra for a dGPU I do not want...

    My fingerprints were lost after the update. Had to reconfigure Windows Hello login. Besides from that everything worked smooth.

    This one claims to be 2mm in height up to 4 TB: X400 M2 SSD Power Pro | EMTEC (emtec-international.com) Emtec X400 SSD Power Pro 4TB ab € 543,00 (2022) | Preisvergleich Geizhals Deutschland (German "Abmessungen: 80x22x2mm) Hopefully some forum members show up with a 4TB m.2 in an XPS / Precision 5xxx
