Really?! Crikey! I hadn't seen any reports of that. Can you point me to where I can read about it? Thanks

Hello folks I have my lovely new build in a Fractal Design Define 7 case. For now I have the default 2 front intakes and 1 rear exhaust. And a Noctua NH-D15S cooling the CPU (12700K). I have an optical drive that I haven't installed yet. I was planning to keep it uninstalled, and get a USB...

Hello folks What's the word on SSD firmware updates? I've just built a new PC with Samsung 2TB 980, and Magician is telling me that there is a firmware update available. I'm currently on 3B2QGXA7, and the new version is 5B2QGXA7. Has anyone updated to this new firmware? Should I? I've just...

Hi rcald2000 I downloaded my Windows media just a week or so before I installed it. And hibernation... I just used that command earlier today - thank you! Hopefully that might reduce the issue a little. But I really do wonder if the culprit was the benchmarking I did after installing Windows...

Ok, but that is normal usage, right? A few tabs open - pages which probably have small video elements here or there. I don't want the solution to be to inhibit normal usage. Anyway, going by what AppReadWriteCounter is showing - 2GB written is I guess normal for having a few tabs open for a few...

Ok, thanks! Btw, I've had AppReadWriteCounter running for the last couple of hours to monitor what is busy writing. Thankfully there's been nothing really crazy so far today, but the top of the chart is Edge which has written nearly 2GB over the last 2.5 hours. I haven't been watching videos...

Ok, but 4.5TB in 75 days sounds more reasonable, I've torn through nearly 1TB in less than 3 days. But yes, I'll keep an eye on things. What do you think about the other things I mentioned... Should I be tweaking Pagefile? Turning hibernation off? Turning search indexing off?

Thanks USAFRet! I wondered that. I figured with new installations and updates there'd be lots of writes. But even considering that, doesn't 800GB in 3 days seem crazy to you? What do you think about my idea that benchmarking a drive which can write at 5GB per second will automatically add...

Hello Everyone! I'm newly registered here... and desperately in need of help! I've just built a lovely new system and on the whole things seems good! Hooray! But I'm concerned about my SSD. It's a lovely new 2TB 980 Pro - just installed a few days ago. But when I installed Samsung Magician it...
