I just built my new PC, which everything went smoothly for the most part. However I have 2 different M.2 SSDs, one of which, just isn't showing up in the BIOS or Disk Manager. My WD Black SN 770 shows up fine and has my Windows Installation on it. However the WD Blue that I also purchased does...

Hey everyone. Please see my saved parts here I tried cloning over the 500GB M.2 boot drive to the 1TB M.2 drive (with Marcrium). But I can’t boot from the 1TB Drive after cloning. The compatibility notes say: "When the motherboard M.2 slot M2_1 is used, two SATA 6 Gb/s ports are disabled "...

I have a friend who owns this laptop, and when i started it up all seemed fine. The laptop was working just fine, but after just a few minutes of use, probably not even that the laptop started to slow down increasingly over about 10-15 minutes until it was unusable. I swapped the HDD that was...

Hi everyone, I have 970 Evo SSD connected to an older motherboard, an ASUS Z97 Pro Gamer via the M.2 connector, running at PCIe2 x2 speed - the fastest this board supports I believe. Reports as PCIe Gen2 x2 in Samsung Magician. I know this is not the fastest this drive can run, however this...

Alright, so quite simply I'm just not able to get my SanDisk x400 M.2 to show in my bios. I just upgraded to an Asus b550. I've never used the drive before, because after I got it years ago, I realized that it was a says drive, not PCIE, and thought that I would be better to just keep it for...

My pre-build pc came with a M.2 SSD but I dont see its an NVMe when I checked online. Is there a way to move it to SATA, I am thinking to buy a M.2 NVMe ssd which is 6 times faster? Or do you think its a good upgrade to make? My mother board is Tomhawk Max B450

I'll try to make this brief and to the point. I cloned my OS from a 120 gig SSD to a newer faster 240gig M.2 as my new boot drive and changed the setting properly in the bios to recognize the M.2 port. The computer loaded up from the new M.2 but now one of my 1TB HDD and the original 120gig SSD...
