ssd

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...

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, 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...

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...

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...

Question is pretty much what it says on the lid. I'm a bit new to this forum, so I apologise if my threat is structured weirdly, but essentially I've been trying to fix an issue with my PC for the past week wherein I get the "No Boot Device Found" error with my SSD boot drive anytime I try to...
