According to their website 990 Pro's random read is 1,200,000 IOPS and 9910 Pro's random read is 1,850,000 IOPS (For 1TB and 4KB, QD32). Would this have any noticeable difference when booting up the computer?

From my understanding, SSD's should not be more than 80%. Over provisioning sets an amount of the storage for the SSD for performance and longevity. So if I set the over provisioning to 20% would I be able to tick both of these boxes? Or should I prevent my SSD from hitting 80% of its remaining...

MSI XPANDER-Z GEN 4 2x M.2 NVMe SSD PCIe 4.0 8x Expansion Card its £35 on ebay and wondering if it will work in the bottom 16x slot of my msi b450 tomahawk max? my main concern is the bottom slot is only 2.0 and there is no option to split it in the bios.

I got a newer PC from a friend for my mom to use for work. The “new” PC came with a 128GB NVMe SSD which I put Windows 11 on and was going to keep that as the boot drive. Given my mom has a lot of work and personal stuff on her current PC I thought it would be easiest to just bring that 500GB SD...

I'm facing a serious issue after attempting to upgrade my computer's storage. I decided to install a Samsung 990 NVMe SSD, replacing my 860 EVO.

Hey everyone, I'm planning to upgrade the SSD in my MacBook Air 2014 and I know that I’ll need an NVMe SSD along with an adapter (like the M.2 to Apple proprietary one). But I'm still a bit confused about a few things: Does the Gen (e.g. Gen3 vs Gen4) of the NVMe drive matter for...

I wanted to power up my PC yesterday and noticed that the password screen froze. Once I restarted it, the BIOS screen informed me that the G Drive (SSD) needed to be repaired, but about 4-5 minutes later, Windows 11 (latest version) started. I did notice that the file system felt quite a bit...

I want to buy another 1TB drive and my current motherboard (Asrock B450M Pro4-F) supports only SATA M.2 drives in the additional slot. I want to buy something I'll be able to carry over when I upgrade in 3-4 years time. I had a look at some of the new AM5 B650 motherboards like the Gigabyte...

Is this normal? Disk 1 is an old SSD that I probably used to run an OS on, its MBR and is the Active primary partition.. but it has no OS on it anymore. My OS is running from disk 3 which isn't an active primary partition, is GPT and is a much faster NVMe. I am unable to make disk 3 (the C...

So I went into Bios to check if I could modify the RAM speed, I didn't do anything to the settings at first, but then when I tried to reboot into Windows 11 my laptop decided not to boot anymore with a bluescreen saying "inaccessible_boot_device". I tried using cmd on Windows boot manager, it...

Hey everyone, I was having an issue with my pc not posting when turning it on. (Happened maybe 2 out of 5 times) Saw a post saying resetting cmos could help. After doing this, it shot me straight into bios and won’t let me leave. Through some digging it’s not showing my bootable drive. It was...

Hi all I exchanged my 2nd m2 ssd into a bigger si ze but now its not recognized anymore by win11 and also in the bios it says n/a Its exactly the same PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 just more capacity. any ideas?

It came from my dead 2014 MBP. What form factor or whatever is this? The connector on it does not look like all my other M.2 drives. What kind of USB enclosure do I need to connect this to my new Mac?

If everything goes well, next week I should be up with a computer made of new and some re-used parts. My target is productivity performances/productivity features. So, gaming performances are not a priority, but comfort for everyday use is. Biggest bottlenecks are photo editing, video editing...

Placed an order with Amazon, and they elected to put electronics in a box with magnets for shipping. Only proposed separation was a bit of wadded paper. When I previously ordered less intense magnets from overseas, they wrapped them in about 8cm of foam (aside from the magnet packaging...
