I’ll preface this by saying that I’m already aware that SSDs are always faster and sometimes even more economical than HDDs with WRB configured, my purpose for posting this question is out of morbid curiosity. Will Windows 10 and/or 7 allow WRB to be enabled on a USB stick when the OS is...

Hello, I've been having a lot of weird issues with my Samsung EVO 970 500GB M.2 SSD lately. The drive functioned normally without any problems until I tried to run any games installed on it. The game would run fine for about 45 minutes to an hour and then just abruptly crash. After this, the...

I recently purchased a new pc minus the gpu(using my older 1660TI for now). I put everything together pressed the button and my old SSD wouldn't boot it would just blue screen at windows loading or recovery attempt. Although I've sort of fixed that issue now. I'm booting off one of my other...

These are the SSDs I was considering, WD and samsung cheap 1tb HDDs. I do not know much about differences in M.2 and normal SATA, etc... So I could use some help. The idea is using it for the Operative System so It should be fast but reliable, I usually also store some games on main hdd. WD...

Ok, don’t know if I’m in the right place but it all started with the SSD, so here it goes: desktop working fine; moved from Nova Scotia to Vancouver, brought my faithful Desktop with me. Arrived, plugged it in, SSD (250gb, SATA) with OS wasn’t showing in boot order... didn’t have time to spare...

Hey guys, I recently got a Kingston 1TB "A2000" M.2 NVMe SSD for my birthday, and installed in on my desktop Windows 10 computer (I already have one 500GB NVME SSD installed as the boot device). I tried to format it and make it register as an actual disk by using Disk Management, but it does...

Are there any heating or other concerns about putting and hdd drive under an SSD in the same bracket? I'm using the Corsair 2.5" bracket in a 3.5" bay and it will hold 2 drives. I just freed up a 2.5" WD HDD Blue and wanted to add it in the machine. It is 750GB and would replace a 3.5" 500GB...

Hi all, I received an error message today on my Dell Inspiron 15-7579 stating my hard drive is not installed. BIOS doesn't detect my drive either. Opened the back to see if my SSD was loose, but I can't seem to find it at all! I've posted links of pics containing my error message and the back...

This just a general question to those who have a samsung 970 evo plus installed in a laptop. I want to know what is the temperature of your ssd under load. Also specify if you have a heatsink or not. Thanks!

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!

Hello fellow computer enthusiasts! I have recently installed the PNY NVMe SSD stated in the title to replace my old Samsung 850 Evo Sata SSD, seen as I had run out of space in the latter and Windows was annoyed at me for it! I'm running an ASUS H97-Pro motherboard, and after getting it to work...
