    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...

    Question Current state of using compression on SSD's

    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.

    Question AT Bench : Samsung 970 Evo plus 2TB vs 1TB

    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...

    What should I do with a suspect HP EX950 SSD?

    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...
