Hello, I'm a bit of a novice builder. I bought a new M.2 SSD because the old one was full, and smaller capacity. I was planning to use the new, faster one as my OS boot drive, and install windows on it with a USB, but the old M.2 with Windows currently on it is still installed, and I'm not...

I only have one m.2 drive and 4 places for more in the future. Do I need to remove the tape from all 4 before I turn it on? I've heard remove just because its plastic in a computer and leave alone because it won't melt and will keep it clean for future use. Or is it just preference? msi mpg z690...

Hello all! I see a ton of information about various issues regarding using a M.2 on a PCIe riser (I'm veteran enough not to be scared of BIOS settings). But not a whole lot on whether it is a good idea to put an OS on a expansion slot. I'm running a 5950x on a Dark Hero with a 3090. I have a...

Hello, it's been awhile since I've posted on here, but I would like the community's opinion on M.2 SSd, Sata 3 SSD, longevity. I know that will very depending on read and writes, but I'm more interested in the components themselves that make up the chips on the the pcb's. Such as, resisters...

Hi, My motherboard says it "supports up to PCIe 3.0 x4" for its two M.2 slots. First, I want clarification on what the "x4" means. There wasn't much info about it online. I think it had to do with # of lanes it uses. Could anyone explain that more? Do I have to match that number with the SSD, or...

I ran into this issue with my new external m.2 that I have in an enclosure connected to my tomahawk motherboard via usb-c when transferring files between an external "my book" hard drive. It starts normal at first and after a bit of time it freezes and disconnects the m.2 which I then have to...

Hey, So SATA ports 5 and 6 don't recognize any drives. Drives themselves work just fine, tested with multiple cables, ports, and systems. Is there some kind of limitation to x570? I couldn't find anything online so, this is my last resort now. System specs are below. Any help is appreciated...
