I have an MSI laptop that I bought last year in May. The model is Cyborg 15 - A12VF. It came with an original SSD with 512GB capacity. I removed it and installed Samsung 980 PRO PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD of 1TB capacity within a week after its purchase. I am running Windows 11 on it.
Almost always I...

My PC is five years old and recently I checked CrystalDiskInfo and it shows my SSD's Health Status at 11%, but it doesn't show any caution signs (no yellow or red and every current and worst column has the exact same numbers).
I also see no actual problems with the SSD itself. I can download and...

So whenever I start up my PC, I always have issues...

Title says it all, is it worth it to pay extra for m.2 drives that come with a heatsink model? Is the integrated heatsink far better than just the m.2 heatsink included in some motherboards? And is there a big temperature improvement overall? Especially in the real world....
I was looking into the 870 QVO Sata 3 from Amazon but don’t know if that is a good upgrade. I’m not sure what info you might need from my pc so feel free to ask. Thanks
Good day,
I'm currently looking for a 1TB M.2 NVME that has excellent REAL WORLD performance, I don't really give much emphasis if a lot of the NVME drives today have very fast speeds when it comes to synthetic benchmarks since these are SYNTHETIC BENCHMARKS. I'm looking for a drive that can...

I have an asrock Z170M Pro4S motherboard and I was wondering if a Samsung 980 m.2 500gb ssd would work on it or not? Looking at replacing the motherboard with a better one soon but would that m.2 go on it or no?

I’m currently planning a small long term data archive and I was wondering: are 2 hard drives in RAID 1 more reliable than 1 SSD? No one has really compared these 2 configurations that I could find, so I was wondering if any of y’all have any insight on this. Thanks!
Hey Guys,
I have a laptop and the hard drive I have is shot. When taking my Solid State out of my desktop to put in my laptop, I just get a black loading screen that lasted overnight so I think its getting stuck somewhere in boot.
Considering the Solid State from my desktop has never seen a...
Hello,

The thing is, how do I properly move my apps and "Documents," "Downloads," "Pictures," etc. directories onto my hard drive without...
TLDR; Everytime I restart the PC the SSD needs to be set as a new volume again.
So I've had this SSD for about two years now and after building a new rig removed it from the old one and put it into the new one in order to save games onto it. Sadly, I lost everything and before I found out I...
Hi there!

Hi all,
I recently got around to buying an M.2 SSD to put in my PC and installed it. In the process, I had to move my older SATA SSD, which happens to be my boot drive, to a different SATA port on the mobo for compatibility reasons. It might be important to note that I didn't even touch the old...
Hey, everyone, I currently have an IdeaPad 330s-15IKB with 8GB Ram, 16GB Optane, Intel Core i7 (8550U), CPU 1.80 GHz ~ 2.00 GHz and 1(quite slow)TB HDD. Win 10 (if that means anything).
First, I am okay with the 8GB Ram, no big deal here, no need to upgrade it, so I am researching a lot about...
Hello guys 😃 , A fellow PC user here. Today morning when i woke up, i was greeted with a surprise. My PC wont boot into windows saying the windows boot is corrupt. After 30 minutes of troubleshooting i came to the realization that my 8 year old snail 512 GB HDD had finally given up at trying to...
For the past few months I've always felt like my SSD is very slow. Slower than normal mechanical hard drive. I searched it up and a lot of the solutions was to make sure TRIM is on and having more than 15% left on the drive, which I've tried. I have a 120 GB Kingston A400 SSD and I've used up...
I've tested my SSD on CrystalDiskMark 6.0.2 x64, and here is the link. My SSD is very slow like a hard drive, especially on its random read speed. Anyone can help?

Hi, I want to know if Seagate or Adata drives are good. I've seen a lot of bad reviews about Seagate having bad build quality, which seems very possible considering the cheap price, and a lot of mixed reviews about Adata SSDs. So, are they any good? I used a Seagate hard drive as my C: from 2015...

I just installed my old HyperX Savage SSD. I'm going to wipe it and copy my hard drive to it. However, it has partitions, I'm in disk manager- I'm wondering if deleting Disk 2 partition 3 is correct so I may secure erase? (It's the only thing that says disk2)
So I'm connecting a 512 GB Samsung 850 pro SSD with a SATA to USB connector to my Razer Blade 14(2016), but the problem is that most of the time the SSD will not get detected by my laptop when I plug in, sometimes it will get detected when I plug it in. if i unplug it while its detected and...
I have a laptop with a single 500 GB SSD for storage, and it has a completely corrupted unbootable windows. I'd like to completely wipe the SSD clean and reinstall windows. I have a 32GB USB Drive. Is it possible, and how can I do it?
I just bought two new Samsung 970 Evo Plus NVMe M.2 SSDs, and I've found that only one of them seems to be working. (Only one is detected in my laptop's UEFI/BIOS and with an enclosure I have.) I am wondering if I could have broken one of the SSDs so quickly, or if it is more likely that the SSD...
