m.2 2280

So I have a Lenovo ideapad 330S-14IKB Laptop which has an optane memory installed in it. I have been wondering which m.2 ssd can fit in it as the optane memory is said to be nvme. Here are some pictures of it. and i have found this ssd on amazon: Crucial P3 Plus 500GB PCIe Gen4 3D NAND NVMe...

Problem started after I moved what was the main 1tb drive from slot one down to slot two. I added a new 4tb m.2 drive into slot one and partitioned it in half. The 1tb was left whole. Full wipe and reinstall of everything, Win10. I've found similar posts on other sources but the steps listed...

Hi, I'm going out of my mind with this one. I recently upgraded my motherboard, RAM, CPU, and GPU, formating the M.2 NVMe drive I used as my OS drive in my old system in an 'ASUS ROG Rampage VI Extreme' (where it worked perfectly for seven years), and installing a fresh copy of Windows 11 via a...

Hey all, I have quite a few questions regarding NVMe SSD installation. I will try my best to describe in short below. I have Gigabyte B560M Aorus Pro AX motherboard and recently purchased a WD Black SN850X 2TB SSD. Does Gen4 NVMe SSD require a heatsink? My motherboard comes with a heatsink...

As the title says, my M.2 has run into a problem. Before this happened, I was using my computer and got stuck in an infinite loop on Visual Studio Code and my PC couldn’t respond or do anything. I did a force shut-down since not even task manager was responding to ending VSC. After the reboot...

Hi everyone, It was a crucial p2 1tb ssd in one of those Chinese ssd enclosures. I disconnected the cable mid transfer and now it shows up as USB drive and I can't access files. How can I fix the drive? Would buying a new enclosure help? Add info: I used to use this drive as the boot drive...

So I'm in the process of putting together my system and ran into a small issue. I bought two Samsung 990 Pro SSDs with heatsink on a good sale (was cheaper than the non heatsink versions). Now, my motherboard is a Asus ROG Strix X670e-f, which has it's own heatsinks that can't work with the...

Recently I had a problem with my old SSD setup (and I do mean quite old), so I bought a new one for my computer as soon as I had the money for it So when I got it, I did all the installation process, went all just fine, except that my Hard Drive doesn't show up anywhere on the new windows...

Where does one buy a M.2 2280 (or even 22110 if no other choices exist) SSD supporting TCG OPAL 2.0 and T10-DIF/DIX/PI? MY research has turned up an incredibly short list of SSDs that meet those minimum requirements, and there is no obvious way to purchase them à la Newegg, eBay, or Amazon...

Following my upgrade from an AMD Ryzen 5 1600 to a AMD Ryzen 5 5600X, I've encountered an issue where my M.2 SSD boot drive is not recognized. This issue did not exist prior to the CPU upgrade, and I had updated my BIOS just a week before replacing the CPU and I had no issues. I've attempted a...

Just bought a new Dell XPS 15 (9520) with the specs indicated below. I deliberately didn't spring for the upgraded hard drive as Dell wanted close to $300 to get to a 2tb drive and so I'm going to buy one and upgrade myself - very comfortable with opening laptops etc. My question is about which...

Hello guys! I wasn't exaggerating when I mentioned that it always took 50 minutes for my PC to boot up, but it wasn't like that before when I first built my PC. It would normally take around 5-10 seconds and my PC is already good to use. I always time my boot up time when it starts showing the...

Hi, So I'm looking to buy an M.2 SSD which will hold my OS and maybe a ~2 games. I've narrowed down my options to the Crucial P5 Plus 500GB and WD Black SN850 500GB. So far I have confirmed that the M.2 Slot on my Asrock X570 Phantom Gaming 4 mobo supports the 2280 M-key type, but I need...

Hi, Today I bought a Samsung 970 EVO 500gb NVMe drive, installed it and everything went smooth. Drive showed up, and works. However, when I went to benchmark it, I saw it was only pulling about half of the speeds that it should be capable off. So I downloaded and installed the "Samsung...

I was comparing some NVME SSD's and ran into this. How come some SSD's have cache memory, but price difference is minimal? Is cache important? Will it affect gaming? What is the best choice between those 3 (except Samsung in 1TB category and ~ 512GB category). Will seq. read/write of...

I have a b450i aorus pro wifi motherboard and I had a 200ge processor. I bought a 3600x and updated the bios to the latest version, switched the processor, and when I booted it into the bios I guess the bios reset so it didn't boot into windows. So I was thinking I'll just add it in the boot...
