nvme

Hi All, I hope you are well. I have two of these M.2 NVMes. Model serial is: CT2000P5PSSD8 The ASUS motherboard spec says this: My CPU is Ryzen 9 5950X. I performed write tests and I get about 1.6GB/s on the NVME in M.2_1 and 490MB/s on the NVMe in M.2_2. Is this correct? Do I need to change...

today i did a new build with ryzen 5 5500 motherboard Aorus b550m elite and as memory a 1tb 990 samsung nvme, all these components support PCIe gen4, so i change from bios settings the port from auto i put it on gen 4 but opening the samsung magician program it tells me that it's connected sun a...

I have been searching for the past few days for an NVME enclosure that will deliver true USB4 speeds, that I can easily swap NVME's out of. I saw the ZikeDrive, Satechi, and OWC Express 1M2. I don't have a lot of confidence or trust in deciding between any of these. There might be newer options...

I am looking to purchase a WD Black SN850X on a Prime Day discount but having read the manual for my MSI PRO Z690-A motherboard I am wondering is it a waste of money if I put it in a Gen4 M.2 Slot that is running through chipset instead of CPU (that slot is already occupied with OS drive)...

So I'm going to have to split this into a few different questions. My Windows 7 computer I never had issues before it was taken apart 2 1/2 years ago before I moved & it started crashing upto 4 times a day a few months after it was put together in Mexico. I didn't start or use it right after...

I was wondering if a 2.5 inch nvme SSD would fit in my motherboard and if I would need an adapter for my fans to reach. I have a dell OptiPlex 7010 mt. Motherboard...

I bought an M.2 drive a while ago for my computer and after a while after I bought it it would not be detected on a cold start. However, after restarting my computer, it would almost always be automatically detected. I have had this issue both booting off of an HDD and SSD. Any ideas on what...

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...

I frequently (at some point in time, montly) do measurements of most ssd I have somewhere sitting in chaos manor. This was one in 2017: and this in 2024 Not bad from 3911 to only 2835 in heavy use. My real question is in between those years I had way better markings with a different driver...

I've been looking around for a RAID controller that plugs into an NVME slot, hosts NVME drives, and is bootable but haven't found anything (at all, let alone bootable). Has anybody seen something like this?

I have an Asus P6X58D-E motherboard with standard bios (0803). Will an M.2 NVMe SSD via a PCIe slot work ? I don't want to boot from it, I just need it for storage, and I'm not keen on modding the bios. I'm asking because I had read something about the board not supporting NVMe SSDs, but my...

BACKGROUND: I sometimes need to backup and restore drives to/from a USB external drive. Sometimes it's a simple file backup/restore and sometimes I need to create and restore an image. I recently had to rebuild a 2TB array where I performed a file backup/restore (VM's) and it took FOREVER...

Here is my Z390 Godlike motherboard: https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16813144209 Why are the 2 outer NVME slots bigger than the one NVME slot in the middle? I recently ordered a Samsung 990 Pro 4TB NVME, am I ONLY able to install that storage drive in the middle NVME slot on the motherboard?

My motherboard is Z390 Godlike. The PC was working normally and then all of a sudden, the PC could not reboot normally with this error message: https://ibb.co/5xCv096 I have already tried fixing it by checking the "Boot Priorities" and my Samsung 2TB NVME is there #1 as normal. My PC also...

SSD model: TeamGroup MP44L Do you think this SSD I got might be second hand? I bought it brand new from the legit online shop, but when I checked it with CrystalDiskInfo it already has 200GB of writes but the power on hours is 0. What could that be, is that normal? s - Imgur

Hi, I just recently purchased a used gigabyte aorus laptop from facebook marketplace. It didn't come with a hard drive and I was okay with that because I was just gonna use the nvme from my other laptop and put windows on it. Unfortunately even though the drive works in my acer laptop, I plug it...

Hi there. Im running a MSI z370 PC PRO and the drive in question is a crucial p3 plus 2tb. I have previously used the drive as storage on my #2 m.2 slot however about a week ago I had to reinstall windows on my main sata drive. Since then the nvme drive had been working fine till last night...

We just purchased a Dell PowerEdge R360 Server with a BOSS -N1. The performance is not quite what I expected, and I'm having a hard time finding reviews online to compare against. I am getting 1400MB/s READ and only 222MB/s WRITE. Can anyone confirm whether this is normal?

I've just bought a new laptop (2024 G14) and am planning to upgrade the internal SSD from 1TB to 4TB. Since I'm upgrading a SSD in a laptop, would power consumption/efficiency be a concern when looking for a SSD? And if so, are there any good low power Gen 4 (M.2) SSDs? I was looking at...

Hello all, I have an ASUS Z790-Plus Wifi D4 Tuf Gaming Motherboard with an Intel i9-13900KF Desktop Processor. I also have 4 M.2 slots, and I have my 1 2tb SP M.2 NVMe SSD plugged into one. The main problem is that I know the SSD is connected, because the BiOS shows it as a storage device, but...

Between the WD Blue SN580, Teamgroup Z44A5 and teamgroup mp44L, both 500GB, which one should I choose? I'll primarily use it for the OS drive, and they're also close in price. Do you have any previous experience with these drives, and would you recommend them? If, for example, I were to slightly...

Hi! This is my first message at Tom. :) I have an older rack server (Cisco UCS M200 M2) and I want to add 4 NVMe drives to it on a PCIe card. The common ones (at least the cheap ones) today seem to basically plug the drive to a 16x PCI under this so called x4/x4/x4/x4 configuration. I've read...

I got a new "Crucial P3 2TB M.2 PCIe Gen3 NVMe Interne SSD, up to 3500MB/s - CT2000P3SSD801 (Acronis Edition)" And I am kinda skeptik about it. I unrared a big folder (113 gb) and was unrarring but every few minutes it hangs for 5 sec then continues. I took a screenshot of the performance, you...

What could have happened to my NVMe SSD? It's media integrity errors are at 20, but there are no bad sectors according to HD Sentinel. What could this mean? The error count increases when I play a specific game, and it auto-closes. However, this only happens with that particular game; other...

I was told it is nice to keep software and OS on a 500gb nvme m.2, and have a 2tb nvme m.2 for my game storage. I am about to build my first pc and am looking at the diagram of my mobo. I have a 5.0 pci m.2 slot/lane with my gpu and 4.0 pci nvme m.2 slot. Should I put the 500gb os drive in the...

I have the GIGABYTE B450M DS3H with a Ryzen 5 3600 processor and want to install an Asus Hyper 4x M.2 expansion card. Before buying the expansion card I went to Google and found the manual of my motherboard (page 16) which clearly states that PCIe bifurcation is supported, however, now that...

Long story short. I had Windows 11 installed on this very same system with 2 2TB NVME drives in Raid-0 Using VMD and intel RST. I decided to switch to arch linux, and disabled RST, and instead left the two drives in their default modes. I installed arch linux on an mdadm (software) raid-0 and...

I have a M.2 NVME SSD and I can't make any changes to the drive. i tried deleting the partitions on the drive, creating new partitions with no success. I used fdisk /dev/sdd to delete the partitions. After rebooting I am unable to access the drive anymore. The drive is no longer present after...

Hi there, I've been trying to troubleshoot this problem on a new PC build running Win11 for a few months now. So any help or assistance would be fantastic - with a big thank you in advance. SO I have technically 3 problems, but I'm viewing them as 1 or 2 since they all seem related. #1 - My...

Hello everyone, Yesterday I started trying to clone my Windows 11 to a new M.2 NVMe that I bought (you can see the Reddit post here) but was not able to get anywhere with this so I decided to just do a clean install. I have pretty much tried everything I could find here and on other forums but...

I have a new 1 TB NVMe M.2 SSD and a 500GB SATAIII 2.5" SSD. I'm using Windows only for gaming and was going to install it on the NVMe SSD to benefit from shorter loading times in games. But honestly I don't play that much. Most of the time I use Linux for office related stuff, programming and...

Hi everyone. I'm having some trouble with some crashes, and I think it might be the SSD, but I do not have much experience dealing with SSDs errors so... better ask the ones who knows. Everything started with a BSOD while playing a game on Windows (I think it was a CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED error)...
