    [SOLVED] Why am I getting lag for first 2 minutes of each game ?

    I've no idea if this will be of any help to you at all, but here's hoping. I have a similar problem with quite a few games and I believe the original culprit was the 2020 update for Windows 10 (2004). After the update, I had tried to do a clean install of the latest Nvidia driver and found that...

    Samsung 970 EVO Plus SSD Review: More Layers Brings More Performance

    Does anyone know if this SAMSUNG 970 EVO PLUS (1TB) will run in an ASUS Z170 Pro Gaming with an i7 6700k..? The documentation for the mobo mentions M.2, but not NVME, so I'm kinda lost.

    External Storage Caddies

    Sorry my friend, I rushed ahead with my question and didn't explain the situation properly. I have Windows 10 on a 500GB SSD, but said OS installation of 70GB+ has contributed to having only 150GB available. I have a 4TB D: drive and a 500GB E: drive, both of which are full. Obviously, I...

    Samsung Flash Drive

    So, it's basically just an issue of personal preference then..? I suppose I'd like the smaller one because it takes up less space and is less likely to be accidentally snapped off by anyone passing the PC. The other is however more aesthetically pleasing though... Thank you for your quick reply..!!

    Which Large Disk

    Thank you both for replying so quickly. I have a variety of uses for these drives. Gaming, editing video, family photos etc. I just added another 500GB drive that I took from an old PC and that's now in the red with a small games folder, so things are getting kinda desperate. The old 4TB in my...
