Ok. I guess my concerns were pointless. Why did/does Crystal still show lackluster results, though?

I did the first time until I caught it. I benchmarked the M.2 before I made my first post.

Seems to be benchmarked running better on AS SSD...is CrystalDisk outdated now, or something? View: https://imgur.com/bJLZWse

I feel it should perform much better than an old 256GB SATA SSD, lol.

Good morning, folks. I am upgrading my mom's computer and am finding the newly installed Crucial P3 2TB M.2 SSD isn't performing nearly like it should. I'm not sure what the issue is. Here are the PC specs: Optiplex 7050 Windows 10 Pro 64-bit Intel Core i5 7500 @ 3.40GHz 16 GB DDR4 2400MHZ...

USA. Like I said: max possible with the stock PSU. I do have a 700w PSU lying around somewhere, but let's just pretend I don't FIRST. Give me options with the stock psu first, please. Then I can work up from there. Thank you.

Hello, folks. I am considering purchasing a Optiplex 7010 MT with the i5 3570 to use for a budget gaming rig. I was wondering which graphics card would be the best choice. My criteria are: Has to work with the stock PSU/motherboard Under $100 new or used, but with a name brand, such as MSI (for...
