Hi all, I went on holiday to see my family and it turns out that while I was there the desktop of my father suddenly stopped working and when starting he is getting the message: "Press ESC in 1 seconds to skip startup.nsh, any other key to continue" After searching, this is because the BIOS...

Hey all. Recently, my HDD died and I lost a lot of data. My current setup has an SSD running my OS and I purchased two Samsung 1TB M.2 SSD's in order to raid them together for gaming purposes via stripe. The issue I had at first as that my MSI z390 BIOS didn't recognize them at all. I...

Hello everyone, Recently bought a new M.2, but sometimes the bios does not detect it. When this happens, I restart the pc a few times and it detects again. (It is the only memory installed). Motherboard: B450 TOMAHAWK MAX; M.2: WD_Black SN850X. Any idea, what could be? Thank you.

Hi everyone, I'm experiencing a strange problem with my ASUS TUF A15 (2022) laptop, and I'm hoping someone here can help me figure it out. I really appreciate any advice or insights you can offer. Here's the situation: I originally had a PCIe Gen 3.0 500GB M.2 NVMe SSD in my laptop, but I...

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...

Hello, I am getting some boot errors (booting to BIOS, not recognising Windows). I've ran a Short SMART self-test with Samsung Magician and the following errors have come up: SMART Self-Test,13/08/2024 Model Name,Samsung SSD 870 EVO 1TB Serial Number,S626NF0R428538Z Result,Log...

Hi everyone. My question is in the topic in tl;dr. As much as I understand after reading about the benefits of a DRAM chip in an SSD, it helps to provide a map to the SSD of where some recent information is located for the SSD to quickly identify that file location and immediately get to it...

So my laptop came with Micron 3400 1tb ssd and I have recently purchased a WD sn850x. Which one should I make my boot drive. I know that wd performs better but it lacks AES 256 bit hardware encoding.

Hi Folks: I have had this laptop a long time. It’s been running excruciatingly slow. I am trying to extend it’s life. I bought a new 4 Tb SSD to replace current HDD. I also bought a new 256 gb mSATA disk to use as boot disk for windows only. I uninstalled HDD, reinstalled SSD and also installed...

I have an MSI Leopard Gl75 10SDR, And recently, I dropped and broke my old SSD. (One of the gold contacts fell off). As a stopgap until my new SSD arrives I have taken the SSD out of my old laptop and put it into the new one. The old one was a Lenovo legion. I am wondering if I can reset the...

I want to preface by saying I am not the most knowledgeable when it comes to PC parts and components, so please bear with me. I finally went around to installing a Samsung Evo 870 1TB SSD I got a while ago and saw some threads about how using it as the boot drive, as opposed to the HDD, is a...

I have sold my old PC recently, but for now I am able to use my sister's old Macbook while I save up for a new PC. So, as usual, trash storage. Hence, I was wondering if there exists a portable HDD that I can crank daily for my use and maybe fit it in my new PC later (I know, too much to ask)...

I just checked 2 of my portable SSDs. Both of their TBW is 600. One is WD Blue SSD 3D and another one is Sandisk Ultra SSD 3D. The Crystal Disk Info shows me something very wrong. As you can see above, WD has written more than Sandisk, but the lifespan still 99% remains whereas Sandisk...

Hello! I'm currently building a retro PC that will have 2 x SSDs, one with XP and the other with Windows 7. I'd like to make sure that the XP SSD is alligned properly. I know very little about this other than a few sites have recommend using windows 7 to partition because it does 2048 byte...

I've been having this problem lately where my Samsung 980 Pro 1 TB SSD will become inaccessible at random after an X amount of time. Nothing seems to provoke it in doing so it just becomes unresponsive and unrecognizable by the computer but visible in the file explorer. As easy as it sounds to...

I have an Acer lapttop with 2.5" 1TB SSD with SATA interface. It used to work fine, but earlier this week I got an error message saying "No bootable device" on it. I have looked into some youtube videos and tried changing some bios settings (boot mode from UEFI to Legacy and vice vera), but it...

I have a G7 7590 15 Laptop, I've "upgraded" to a Crucial ( CT1000P3PSSD8 ) 1tb after my Samsung 970 evo suddenly died. SSD bough on Amazon. I was downloading games on steam and noticed write speed was only 60-70 mb/s, so after pulling up Control Panel I saw the same thing and 97% disc usage...

I have an iMac 2017 using a Samsung 870 QVO 1TB SSD and its writing speed is very slow, only 14MB/s. I have been using it for 2 years, is there any way to fix it? I often use it for a long time so it happens like that, My hard drive has 700GB free space

Hello I need help with my PC, the motherboard is a Gigabyte A520M K V2 Whenever I turn my PC on it will sometimes boot into Windows and other times it boots into the BIOS and it shows that there's no boot device found, and when I go to the M.2 area it shows "M.2 : N/A" I'm not sure if it's my...

Seeing some great deals on amazon right now and was thinking of going with a new PCIe M.2 ssd, my question is how would i transfer my windows over being that I got my windows key from one of those key websites. (I still payed for the key but it was much cheaper than original) mobo b450...

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)...

I have a TUF B450-M plus motherboard, and I am looking to purchase a WD_Black SN850X. I have read that the motherboard doesn’t fully support PCIe gen 4, and that they removed it in a previous bios update . I don’t mind the idea that it won’t be reaching its maximum speeds as I am aware that the...

Hi all, After reformatting my internal WD Black² Dual Drive, the SSD partition (windows) is gone…i can’t find a way to recover it…is just gone, i don’t know what to do, can anyone please help me?

SSD SN850X 4TB - Look at this write speed that particular test RND4K What kind of joke is that assuming performance of this drive is top? B760 MOBO, Windows 10 On same OS: Old 970 EVO PLUS for me is over 4x faster in that test. Tried as primary os and as secondary, drive brand new. Any hope...

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 bought a new SSD for extra storage. Heres the storage that I already had, which worked without any issues for years now: 1) M.2 Samsung 500 GB SSD (Windows 11 and some apps) 2) SATA 1TB HDD (storage) 3) (brand new, freshly bought one that broke the PC) SATA LC Power Phoenix 960 GB SSD I...

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...

Sorry if this post is bad, it’s my first one. My PC recently stopped recognizing my SSD, it won’t even show up in the BIOS. Before this my PC had bluescreened twice. While I still had access to Windows I was checking temps, and they were fine. Now I’ve lost all access to Windows from my SSD. I...

Dear SSD experts :) I am trying to resolve an issue with an SSD after several power outages occured recently. - The SSD is Samsung 850 Evo (2,5''), it is a bootable partition with Win10 - Firstly the Win10 popped up a message that some installation files were missing, but later on I would out...

I love to game on my Rig, and I have a Ryzen 7 5800x3d, which is great for AM4 Motherboards high tier before needing to eventually upgrade to AM5. My PC has a 1TB SSD, and 4TB HDDs installed. I don't have them full just like to have some games on the HDD, and use my SSD to boot up windows and...

Hi, One of my SSDs, the Crucial P3 Plus 4TB Gen4, does not behave how I'd expect an ssd to behave. For example, when downloading a game over steam, it cannot sustain the full 600mbit download speed with the active time in the task manager going to 100% periodically. https://paste.pics/R9RVU When...

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 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...

Yesterday my computer suddenly stopped recognizing my external ssd (kingston xs 1000) whenever it is plugged into 3.0 ports with a 3.0 cable, 2.0 cable into 3.0 ports works and also 3.0 cable into 2.0 ports works, i have tried resetting my computer, reformatting the ssd, changing the cable and...

Hi there, I have installed a sabrent adapter for pcie to nvme in which I have installed a samsung 990 pro, which according to its specs should be reaching the full speeds of pcie 2.0, however, when I run tests on the drive in crystal disk mark, these speeds are not reached, and only reached up...

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...

I'm currently using an HP Pavilion Gaming 15 which, according to the HP website, has a multi-format SD media card reader for its expansion. I'm kind of stupid when it comes to these things, so I thought to ask on whether or not this means I would be able to install a second M.2 NVMe SSD or any...
