nvme

Hello, I've typically bought samsung in the past but am not sure if the firmware fix is a work around or a real fix for some of the newer models? For all I know they are all made by the same company and have the same issue or there is a better brand to get.

Hi, I need help choosing a new NVMe SSD for my laptop. I currently have a Legion 5 Pro with a Ryzen 5800h, so I'm limited to a PCIe 3.0 interface, but it seems more sensible to buy a PCIe 4.0 drive in case I change laptops in the future. From what I've found, the SK Hynix Gold P31 was a good...

Hello all, there are a couple of NVME SSD tests and reviews here on Anandtech, my particular interest is about the HMB type. Most common one is the Samsung 980 (not the Pro, just the plain 980). The review: https://www.anandtech.com/show/16504/the-samsung-ssd-980-500gb-1tb-review mentions the...

Hi, Does anybody know how to dump firmware from nvme ssd controller (WD, sandisk controller)? JTAG or any other way? And no - WD does not "publish" the firmware (or updates) for this particular drive...

I have a Samsung PM981a 512GB SSD M.2 PCIe x4 NVMe and I can't find a way to connect it to my pc via usb or usb c (so as an external drive). I already tried with this adapter (a friend of mine suggested me that it was the right one), but it doesn't work, and I don't know how to find one that...

https://www.newegg.com/team-group-mp33-1tb/p/N82E16820331417 Not the fastest PCIE 3.0x4 NVMe SSD, but if you need something for a low price its not a bad deal.

Hello all, I'm a NVMe n00b but just got in a Kingston NVMe drive as it was on sale and I need to get some more storage; 2 of my 3 other regular SATA SSDs are nearly full. My Z170A-G45 motherboard has two slots for M.2 drives so I tried it in the first one, because I wasn't sure which SATA...

This is a first for me: Just did a major upgrade on my roommate's computer (CPU - Intel 11th Gen/RAM - 16GB/Mobo - Gigabyte Z590 Gaming X/Storage - 2TB Firecuda NVME). I installed Windows 10 on the new NVME drive, no issues, even after several reboots. When I try to add one of his old SATA...

Hi everyone, I got a new XPG SX8100 4TB M.2 NVMe PCIe 4 SSD. Yesterday, I installed it in my motherboard (MSI MEG X570 UNIFY with AMD Ryzen 9 3900X CPU), in one of the M.2 slots, and covered it with the motherboard's M.2 heatsink. There are two other SSDs in the other two M.2 slots, both PCIe 4...

hey everyone I'm new to PC and I need help, I have a MSI MAG B550 TOMAHAWK AMD motherboard. I'm currently have a Corsair MP600 m.2 Pcie Gen 4/0 x4 nvme drive and i understand the 2nd slot has to be a 3.0 x4 nvem drive but im not sure what kind of speeds i need or what brand i should get . not...

Hi, apparently my Samsung 970 EVO 2TB NVMe SSD dies after 3 years of service in ThinkPad T580. At about 1-2 years of age there were suddenly few media errors (visible in SMART), few files unreadable, yet surface check showed zero bad sectors (due to remapping)? And then after 3 years, it died...

XPG gammix s11 pro vs Samsung 980, which one to buy considering I am getting both for the same price

Hi people, sorry for the long post, i need help! I have a ssd, Seagate Firecuda 520 nvme pcie 4 gen 4. I sent it together with my laptop back to the manufacturer because of spilled water and now it is back. The tests were OK they said. The SSD worked before i have sent it there (it was empty...

Hello, MSI B550 UNIFY Board has total four M2 slots. 1st is directly coupled with CPU, 2nd and 3rd M2 slots actually share PCI-E 4.0 x 16 bandwidth. If I put SSD in any of these M2 slots, PCI-E slot brought down to x8 mode. This is fine as long as there is 3000/5000 series CPU with graphics...

Hey guys. On the verge of giving up on this. I'm trying to install a Samsung 970 evo plus 1tb on the upper M.2 nvme slot of my Z490-E Gaming (Already tried both slots). For some reason the new ssd does not appear anywhere on the Uefi bios (It's not recognized), nor can I install the nvme driver...

I have a 3900x with a x570 mobo and 1TB sabrent rocket nvme m2 PCIe 4.0 disk. My write benchmarks are very very poor. Chipset and windows drivers are upto date. what gives ? how can i troubleshoot? https://ibb.co/SKFN03h https://ibb.co/JmDJZWG

Hey everyone. So I built my wife a computer last month, and I had used the HP EX950 SSD in it. However, it appeared to develop write errors early on & attempts to cool it off with heatsinks & fans didn't seem to prevent that. I even tried doing the firmware fix that's been floating around. I've...

I'm seeing low numbers vs AnandTech's review of the 512GB Samsung 950 Pro (https://www.anandtech.com/show/9702/samsung-950-pro-ssd-review-256gb-512gb). But I've never properly benchmarked a drive before, plus my test rig is bit lower tier than the reviewer's (though same generation). I'm either...

I am running Ubuntu 18.04 in a fairly new system. I recently bought a Samsung 970 EVO Plus to do some speed tests for work. While trying different things and not getting the results I wanted, I stumbled upon the great write up here...

I have tried to benchmark my Transcend 220S. The expected result on the nvme benchmark should be read ~3000MB/s and write ~2000MB/s. But what I got is read/write ~200MB/s. (testing on CrystalDiskMark and HD Tune Pro) I have tried to flash the new version of BIOS, OC the ram clock, manually set...
