    USB C or what?

    Hello there. A friend of mine found a cable lying on the street, and gave it to me because he said his phone doesn't have a usb-c port. So i tried it on my phone (Samsung A5 2017) and no way that's going in there. So in the end this might not be an usb-c? Anyone has got an idea what phone this...

    [SOLVED] Help needed with what USB Flash Drive should i buy

    I was reading some reviews about them. People recommend both, but some say the Kingston one is a bit bulky, and you might not be able to fit another usb device into the next port. It's a gamble really, they're both good brand but you could get a faulty one from any manufacturer. Where i usually...

    [SOLVED] Help needed with what USB Flash Drive should i buy

    An USB 3.0/1 device plugged onto a USB 2.0 port will behave exactly like any other USB 2.0 device. So it doesn't really matter. I recommend you Kingston DataTraveler SE9 G2 64GB USB 3.0. Works wonders for me, in the specifications it says they write at a speed of 15 MB/sec., but mine varies from...

    [SOLVED] M.2 Sata SSD

    I just checked the bios, apparently i'm in the AHCI mode. So what your saying is that i should unplug my storage devices, currently only one HDD and one SSD, then plug the new one, set up the boot option so it boots up from it and then install windows, and when the installation is done plug the...

    [SOLVED] M.2 Sata SSD

    I already have this SSD - SSD ADATA SU800 256GB SATA-III 2.5 inch, and it boots up from this one. Does that mean that the ahci function is turned on in general, or only for this particular SSD i already have installed, or it might not be turned on at all?

    Hi there. I plan on getting this SSD - WD NEW Green 240GB SATA-III M.2 2280. I was reading the mobo manual (MSI Z370-A PRO) and it says it's got an m.2 slot, but will this particular one fit?
