ssd

The boot drive in my build has recently been suffering from very low transfer speeds. I ran a test on the drive and the results appear normal, but when I try to actually move/copy files its very slow. I have tried some common fixes, including enabling AHCI, and changing the Advanced Power...

SSD prices have risen dramatically recently. Especially since Black Friday. Many news outlets are predicting a big increase in SSD prices this year, with some saying it's a temporary bubble. What's your opinion?

I'm wondering if anyone else has had tjis lately? Or is my ssd dead. My first thoughts were sata connections but I've tried swapping sata/power for ports I know work and no joy. I've also checked for a bios update but that motherboard's last update was in 2016 - version f6 which I have. Any...

Just purchased a new Samsung 4TB T9 SSD. I have it connected via USB-C into a 20gb port on my new PC. When I first started using it, I was able to transfer a 6GB movie file from my internal SSD onto the T9 in about 10 seconds. So after that I began to copy over a lot of my personal files. Then...

A few weeks ago I bought a new m2 SSD for my PC. I have in total 2 SSD’s now and the purpose for the new one was to clone the C drive from my old HHD (which has windows installed) to help with boot time, speed and not hearing the annoying sound from the HDD. It worked fine but when I unplugged...

My father bought 512gb Dahua C800A SSD. Although Dahua is known for surveillance cameras and such, I don't know about their SSD's, does anyone here have an experience with them? The SSD will be used for the OS and some light work program so nothing too demanding, and in case I return it and get...

I know SSD's have a lower lifespan. But is it noticeable? I also know that hard-drives are much cheaper, per terabyte. How would your answer change in 4 years?

As stated in title, i noticed that games started lagging/crashing, after some checking i found out that SSD write speed is around 3-30mbs, and after some more checking, i figured out that its only this low when storage is about 40-50% occupied, when its lower than that, the write speed is around...

I'm deciding on what 2TB SSD to get for my personal computer aiming to increase drive speeds from my standard hard drives; I have a B450 Tomahawk as my motherboard and its specifications support PCI-E 2/3. From my understanding, using a SSD with Gen 4 PCI-E is still possible but will be...

Well, hi! I want to update the firmware on my Kingston NVMe SSD but the Kingston SSD Manager (the only way to update) doesn't see any drives. BIOS is OK, Windows is OK, speeds and etc OK. Just the manager doesn't see it ? It gives me some errors that you can see on the images below, so if you...

Asrock B450M Steel Legend - is it worth adding another M.2 NVMe SSD via a PCIEe-to-M.2 NVMe adapter ? I'm asking for a friend who has the ASRock B450M Pro-4 F, but also for myself because both motherboards although they have a second M.2 slot it only supports SATA speeds. So I'm looking to...

The PC would get stuck on the motherboard screen and not boot into Windows. If I wanted to get into the bios it would take 5+ mins to load into the bios screen. The SSD was still showing up in the bios like normal. After hours of trying to get the SSD to load I decided to install Windows on a...

I have the Acer Predator GM7000 4TB NVMe SSD. The issue is that of extreme lag on first use. After a [short] period of inactivity, when I create a new empty folder, for instance, the new folder doesn't show up for a long time -- several seconds. There is some serious lag there. I often have to...

So what is going on is that I just recently got told that I should switch everything I have on my hdd to my sdd because my pc would boot up slow. I would always think it was fine since it's just taking its time booting everything up. So after I had done that, I had reset my pc because it would...

So, I've been trying to figure this out since like two months ago. I installed a new SSD on my Laptop, an XPG Xenia 15 XC. The SSD was installed in the second M.2 port and after installing it, I started randomly having BSODs. The detention code showing is PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA and the...
