ssd

Well, Im a bit confused. The benchmark, on anandtech webpage tells me firecuda is better at gaming generally but I couldn't find an option for crucial x10 pro in the comparison chart. Im lookin for an external ssd for pc & android. Primarily for in photoshop, illustrator, animation, 3d modeling...

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...

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...

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...

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.

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...

Hello, I have two Samsung SSDs in my computer, an 840 Pro and 860 Evo, both are connected via a SATA3 interface configured as AHCI. The motherboard is an Asus P8Z77-V Pro, with an i7-3770K CPU. TRIM is enabled, MB and drive firmware is the latest. Both drives report sequential performance...

Hello! I've just tested my 250GB Samsung 850 SSD using Magician software and CrystalDiskInfo, here are the results: Samsung Magician: Drive Health -> 64.2 TB written - Good. CrystalDiskInfo: Health Status -> Good 82% 1) Should I be worried? I've read on some forums that this drive endurance...

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

I just switched from a 1TB 970 EVO Plus to a 1TB 980 Pro as my system drive. There is a new firmware for the 980 and I wanted to update it but for some reason in the Samsung software drive health is N/A, I can see the temperature, the serial number and the current firmware but it doesn't show...

https://www.tomshardware.com/news/samsung-980-ssds-spotted Maybe instead of releasing a new budget NVMe with the 980 naming scheme (which is a little confusing), Samsung should have just secretly switched the 970 EVO Plus components to cheaper, lower performing ones in order to lower the...

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...

I've been helping building PC's lately, and I often see people with too small SSD's, at least when you take their 1 or 2 most played games into account. So that got me thinking back to Sandforce if anyone remembers (10 years ago or so). Those disks natively compressed content before storing it...

Hello everyone. I'm fairly new here. So I'm currently building my new system and having mixed feelings on choosing which M.2 NVME SSDs should I grab 2*500 GB pieces of the following; Adata XPG SX8200 Pro Crucial P5 Noteworthy that here in my country (), they are both priced right around $70...

So i just got this SSD today , it's ADATA SU650 480GB and i was really surprised , at first i encountered a bug where data written was 700TB before even making a partition (spoiler alert : it's 25660TB after a couple of hours LOL) so this is not too much of a problem just a software bug but...

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

Helo peepal! Recently i bought a samsung 860 evo 250gb ssd and slapped it into my laptop internal sata 3 port everything is working fine except for the speeds. Sequential reads are fine even sequential write are okish but what bothers me the most is the 4k random read/write those are really slow...

I was looking for the benchmarks comparing SK hynix Gold P31 to Samsung 970 line when i noticed this oddity. The 970 Evo plus 2TB has a considerable lower latency in ATSB Heavy workloads than the 1 TB model. In the light and Destroyer workloads, they are comparable. Wonder why this difference...

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...

So I have the HP 15-da0511sa (Notebook) and the 5400rpm hard drive is really slow so I am planning on adding the Samsung 970 evo plus 256gb and transfer the OS to it to significantly increase the speed of my laptop. However, I opened up my laptop to make sure it supports the SSD (and it does)...

Hello, I already have a SSD Samsung 860 EVO 256GB and old HDD Hitachi 500GB. I want to replace the HDD. I'm thinking of buying a SSHD Seagate Firecude 2 TB but I read many not good reviews about SSHD. So I'm thinking of buying a HDD Seagate Barracuda 2TB + SSD WD Blue 500GB. Currently the SSD...

I have a ASUS B350F STRIX motherboard, and I want to install a 1TB 970 EVO, HOWEVER, doing so would disable SATA6G_ 5 - 6. My bootdrive is in one of those two slots, so to allow my M.2 SSD to work properly, is it a good idea to to plug my boot drive into a different SATA port (all of them run at...

Hello, I want to upgrade my RAM from 16 GO to 32 GO, and setup an SSD with my existing HDD. I used crucial scan software to get the list of all supported RAM & SSD for my Asus G11CD-K (desktop) and here is the link: https://www.crucial.com/scanview/E23445F331D926C3 My questions are : for RAM...

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...

We have a massive NAS competition underway, and yes, we're talking terabytes. Up for grabs is the QNAP TS-932X NAS enclosure, Seagate IronWolf PRO 16TB HDD, and the IronWolf 110 SSD. Run with the biggest and the fastest. Seagate IronWolf drives provide 28% more capacity and up to 25% more speed...

I'm setting up a new computer that will have a 250 GB Samsung EVO 850 SSD and two 1 TB Seagate Barracuda hard drives. I want the SSD to be the boot drive and have the Windows folder with the operating system (Windows 7 Professional 64 bit). I also want to have a few programs on the SSD...

I have a Samsung 840EVO 500GB SSD. I need to read inside it. It presents a broken part, with a bubble on it. Something was wrong with electricity, this is a simple part that I could try to replace with a little soldier. But I need a replacement part. Please help.

Finally made the switch to an NVMe drive from a regular SATA-III SSD since the prices have come down, but I overlooked something. Macrium Reflect wouldn't allow me to edit the size of the partition that contains Windows when I cloned it over. I was trying to jog my memory but I thought that this...

I'm upgrading/cleaning out my basement and I want to sell a bunch of SSDs (SATA and NVME) ranging from 128GB to 2TB. When it comes to selling traditional hard drives I would always just do a complete format (0-write) prior to selling them to stop my private data from falling into the wrong...

I'm working on an HP Pavilion 510-a010. It came with a 1TB spinner. My goal is to redeploy it with a Samsung 860 Evo 250GB. I disconnected the HDD, connected the SSD fresh out of the package, booted to my Win 10 USB installer, installed Windows 1809 to the SSD using default settings...
