Flashmemory & SSD disk data retention extend if you keep it in -40degree celsius temperature (refrigerator)

New study reveal a new way to keep flashmemory-disk / SSD in refrigerator / freezer / fridge / cold storage which help to extend flashmemory-disk's lifespan. Data retention time increases exponentially in lower temperatures, so keeping it in a regular +4C refrigerator / freezer / fridge / cold storage is enough to extend retention by decades.

World-first fastest, intelligent and innovative Filecopier for data backup storage administrator and commercial entity

 Details
https://www.1range1.com/vr.php

VRangeSync is Unix/Linux certified system sync,clone,mover tool. It has become the de-facto system sync,clone,mover tool used by leading providers who are looking for increased security, stability and scalability.

============
Independent
============
VRangeSync is an independent and standalone software as it include with it's own toolpack. It do not require any additional software to be installed. It will works even if remote machine do not have VRangeSync installed.

============
World-first
============
Vrangesync is world-first file copier which offer the following features that none of the traditional filecopier on the market have.

- Achieve the fastest copying/cloning result on the market.(1)(2)
- 'ncat' and 'ssh' for remote data transport. (8)
- Deltacopy (Delta Diff Algorithm) offer for 'non-remote' and 'remote' data transfer.(5) Traditional filecopier can work for 'remote' data transfer only.
- 4 ways sync.(link) Traditional filecopier offer two ways sync only.(4)
- 'Intelligent move' Algorithm(3)
- In-depth detailed statistic report for administrator for profiling.(7)


With the above features, your storage device's lifespan get extended and live longer. The total time to complete data transfer is shorter.

VRangesync 4-ways Sync and 'remote-to-remote' sync introduction



 VRangesync 4-ways Sync and 'remote-to-remote' sync introduction

Video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIHxXPWcTmE



Traditional filecopier offer 3-ways sync. No 'remote-to-remote' sync capability available.


3-ways sync:

1)Your current machine 'directory #A' to Your current machine 'directory #B'

2)Your machine to Remote machine

3)Remote Machine to Your current machine

4)No 'Remote Machine #A to Remote Machine #B' available




VRangesync is world-first file copier that offer 4-ways sync. Vrangesync offer 'remote-to-remote' sync capability.


4-ways sync:

    1)Your current machine 'directory #A' to Your current machine 'directory #B'

    2)Your machine to Remote machine

    3)Remote Machine to Your current machine

    4)Remote Machine #A to Remote Machine #B

1) Direct mirror from machine '1.2.3.4' to machine '5.6.7.8' from third party workcomputer.

2) zstd -T(parallel) offer fastest completion time

3) ncat on zstd -T(parallel) is faster than ssh on zstd -T(parallel)



=====================================================================================



VRangesync '4-ways' sync and 'remote-to-remote' sync capability is an essential feature for storage guru or system administrator to manage a large list of machines from third party workcomputer.

VRangesync simplify entire operation and reduce additional work required.

Total amount of time saving will matter alot in real world scenario.

VRangesync can be your next datacenter management enterprise tool.

It is start of the new month.

You started to do your routine research on internet and save alot new files onto your workcomputer over the month. You also have an automatic scheduled job that run once a day which backup your workcomputer to your secondary storage device.


A large list of new files get accumulate on your workcomputer. Your backup secondary storage device also get an exact copy everyday as well.
