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...

I own lenovo ideapad gaming 3 15ach6 82k200nupb. On their official site they only allow 1tb ssd for my slot. Can I install bigger storage ssd in that slot? Also this is pcie 3.0 x 4 slot. Is there any sense in buying pcie 4x4 ssd?

Can I use a USB 2.0 cable, plugged into a USB 2.0 port, for a USB 3.2 SSD? I accept that speed will be slower. Just want to make sure that there won't be data integrity issues (reading/writing to the SSD), and that enough power is supplied to the SSD. The cable is a 30" phone charging cable...

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...

Right now I am copying the contents of an external 2tb SSD to an external 4tb SSD (both USB-C) -- about 1.81tb of data. I am now doing the long, long, long copy from the 2tb to 4tb. I use the verify option with the free Syncback software so, I think, the verify really slows things down. After...

Currently in my pc I have a 500gb hdd and the truth is that its speed does not convince me much and that is why I plan to buy a minimum 500gb sata ssd since I do not use more for now and I was looking in the stores of my country which ssd suits me and I found this zadak twss3 ssd of 512 gb at...

Search gives me huge articles and just says "it's encryption". Ok but what's the practical example? like if I switch to a new motherboard or install new os the ssd will stop working? do I need third party software and it's going to set up a password before loading windows and in the options it...

I upgraded my old laptop from a HDD to a Crucial BX 500 SSD this year. It is a well known issue with these drives that they slowdown after sometime. Crucial has an article on this and solutions to solve this issue on here...

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...
