You should be able to change the boot order in the BIOS settings. I have a work and home SSD in my setup but they are the same make and module and they sometimes change places in the list. Fun! All the manufactures really need to add more tools to deal with SSDs better. Like boot order and...

I tried to do this with Western Digitals dashboard software but in Windows it first says that the secure raise function can't be run because of a driver. So you go through the USB boot flash drive utility and then you run the secure race from there and then it says it needs an ATA password which...

Do you think it could be temperature related? I'd not really thought about it as all the m.2 SSDs have a heatsink installed but looking at the SN850 and SN850X they idle at 40-50°C and when coping lots of files they get up to 70-75°. There is a bit of back and forth on weather it's better for...

I see what you are saying but I don't have any other ideas for the cause. :( The second data loss and corruption was with the VMs files. On Friday I backed them all up and then when I went to use it again on Monday files where missing and others corrupt. Over that weekend I did use the PC but...

Intermittent System Stutter Experienced with fTPM Enabled on Windows® 10 and 11 I have a AMD setup that had been fine for the last 2 years or so but a few months back I upgraded to Win11 on a work boot drive and a boot drive for gaming. Both are NVMe SSDs. About a month ago I had a few large...

Can the RTX 4090/4080/4080-Opps 4070 be removed from this and our future lists for price gouging?

It's good to be the "Nvidia". Lie about your difficulties producing volume. Cancel wafer orders, make sure your cards are always in short supply and jack up the price. Rinse and repeat every few years. On top of the line card should be five or $600 with a simple cooler. Unfortunately, there's...

I got 2 cards from it. Everyone should take a minute and use the NewEgg feedback and request that they let longstanding verified accounts place a a simple backorder and get in line and wait it out. At least with the shuffle you get a chance but I think they should do this but just longstanding...

It's something I look for and would want, but my 3080 cooler is so large that I don't have any noise complaints and it fits in my case just barely. So there's really no reason to use the water cooling. The biggest issue with most of the companies is they want $200, $300, $400 for the additional...

Why must they treat us like animals and not allow pre-orders or back orders? Also, most of the best buy links are dead.

Lower prices are always welcome but these MSRP prices are nuts. Top of the line card should be $500 bucks max. There's just too much pent up demand and too many people willing to spend two grand on a 3090 TI that's maybe 10 or 15% faster. It's totally crazy out there.

Just too many people with too much money. Or at least enough people with enough money to blow two grand on a card no that should cost 500 or 600 bucks. All you can do is wait for a real upgrade in performance at a decent price. At least they can't stop you from doing that. Waiting...

I can't find anything conclusive on display stream compression. The folks that make it of course say it's lossy compression but that you will not be able to tell. What's the advantage of having DisplayPort 2.0 with more bandwidth and not having to use display stream compression? Is there added...

But these new MSRPs are nuts. Top of the line card should be 500 bucks, not $1,000 or $1,500. This is crazy times!

"We have a number of different 20 terabyte platforms coming - PMR, SMR, HAMR. There’s a lot of different flavors of them, and they are targeted to different customers so different qualification schedules for each,” Well they offer a version (not 7,200 RPM) that doesn't have a droning hum into...
