    Question 500GB Samsung 980 Pro problem, critical health, insane writes

    I'm doing a full scan with Microsoft Defender. After it's done, I will do just that. Also, I don't mean to provoke anybody. I kindly ask the moderators to take action and censor or remove my post if it breaks the ToS. I'm just being honest and saying how things are. If I had the finances to...

    Question 500GB Samsung 980 Pro problem, critical health, insane writes

    Update for everyone: My SSD had a total of 754.2TB written yesterday. I took a picture of this, and from the time of the picture, to the time that I shut down my PC, my PC was on for 1 hour and 50 minutes. Today, I turned on my PC, and the time it was active was for no more than 30 minutes. From...

    Question 500GB Samsung 980 Pro problem, critical health, insane writes

    I agree. Perhaps I was mistaken, and the number of writes is for the entire lifespan of the program. However, I don't think this could be true, as I recently migrated from my old SSD to the new one, and I did so with the use of disk imaging. If my PC is indeed infected, maybe the virus or...

    Question 500GB Samsung 980 Pro problem, critical health, insane writes

    I understand, and I am not trying to promote it in any way! I don't mean to justify, but I do not come from fortune, and unfortunately, that has been the only way for me to get to software that allows me to make progress in life. I only pirated 2 games, so it's not like I'm a maniac like the...

    Question 500GB Samsung 980 Pro problem, critical health, insane writes

    Perhaps I am wrong about the amount of written data from MSI Command Center. Is the "I/O write bytes" the total writes of this process over a lifetime, or does it restart the count every session? I just booted up my PC, and it says 8TB again. The PC hasn't been on for 10 minutes, so I highly...

    Question 500GB Samsung 980 Pro problem, critical health, insane writes

    I don't know what to do... I use Command Center for my motherboard and especially to control my PC's fans. If somehow I infected my PC with malware or a virus, I wouldn't know. I don't download pirated software or video games frequently, and when I do, I do so from reputable sources.

    Question 500GB Samsung 980 Pro problem, critical health, insane writes

    Quite an old thread, but do know that MSI Command Center has been on my PC since I built it... It is beyond me what could've caused such a drastic difference in the way it behaves

    Question 500GB Samsung 980 Pro problem, critical health, insane writes

    When you put it like that, it does not sound crazy. However, please consider the numbers I provided about my old SSD.

    Question 500GB Samsung 980 Pro problem, critical health, insane writes

    I recently purchased a brand-new Samsung 980 Pro, and I made this decision thanks to the advice I received on here. It was out of my budget, but since everybody emphasized just how future-proof the purchase would be, I made the call to get it. It has been 3 months since I installed it and...

    Question How to properly optimize and install Samsung 980 Pro on my MSI Z170A Gaming Pro?

    I have a feeling that I've come across some posts where people said that you need to go through additional steps to integrate it properly and get the max out of it. I don't quite remember well enough what they did, perhaps it has something to do with the BIOS.

    Question How to properly optimize and install Samsung 980 Pro on my MSI Z170A Gaming Pro?

    I just bought this M2 SSD, and I've stepped away from computers for some years, so I am unfamiliar how I can properly install the Samsung 980 Pro on my MSI Z170A Gaming Pro. What I mean by this is that I do not know how I can make it work at full speed and the way it's intended to be used. The...
