    Question Confusing issue with NVMe SSD Enclosure ?

    It's around 700 MB/s as reported by Windows. So megabytes (MB/s), not megabits (Mb/s, mbps). I just did another test now for this reply with a 31Gb video file, and results are: Read: 0.98 MB/s Write: 645 MB/s This is ROG Strix Arion enclosing a 1TB Samsung PM9A1 which is similar - if not...

    Question Confusing issue with NVMe SSD Enclosure ?

    Issue update: The Asus Rog Strix Arion works but only on a usb 3.2 port, not thunderbolt. So I've just received a new USB 3.2 Gen 2 cable rated at 10Gbps. These are the exact specs of the Asus Rog Strix Arion ssd enclosure and this is a USB-A to USB-C cable, but I wasn't very optimistic given...

    Question M.2 SSD is randomly no longer bootable ?

    When you installed the new cpu cooler, are you absolutely sure that you didn't touch the m.2 drive by accident? Even a small scratch in the wrong place can make it behave like this. Also, carefully check the drive for any stray cpu paste, some cpu thermal paste products are conductive, so a...

    Question What’s the safest way to recover data from a failing hard drive

    Apart from the tools that were already mentioned, you can also use a Clonezilla live usb stick. And as someone else also said, make sure you recover/image your drive to another blank drive. With clonezilla you also have the option to clone each partition to its own image file.

    Question How to get my Samsung 980 pro M.2 SSDs recognised

    Did you install all the drivers for your motherboard? Also try installing the Intel Rapid Storage drivers if your motherboard needs those for the M.2 slots to work properly. For example I need to install those even before I can install windows because not even the installer can recognize the...

    Question Windows corrupted on samsung 970 nvme

    Looks like a failing drive. I've recently had a 980 Pro 2Tb fail after just 15 Tb written or so during a few months of usage, and it failed in the same way that you're describing. I was able to get some of the non-backed-up data off of it using an Ubuntu live stick, but after I've looked at the...

    Question Confusing issue with NVMe SSD Enclosure ?

    Update on this issue: So I managed to find a Thunderbolt 3 cable rated for 20Gbps, it's a Promate Thunderlink C20+. Well the problem persists. I've also tried Ubuntu on the same laptop. Here, when I connect the Asus Rog Strix Arion , I just get a continous series of dings, one every couple of...

    Question Confusing issue with NVMe SSD Enclosure ?

    Thank you for the link. I've read some of those 39 pages and it seems that at least I'm not the only one having issues with NVMe enclosures. I was starting to think there is an issue with my laptop. What I could gather is that I need to check if I'm using the Realtek RTL9210 a/b chip since this...

    Question Confusing issue with NVMe SSD Enclosure ?

    Thank you for replying, Well, sort of. Not with a thermometer but touching it it is barely warm. No, I've tested with Samsung Magician prior to taking it out of the laptop. No, I don't think I have anything with a 3.0 port.

    Question Confusing issue with NVMe SSD Enclosure ?
