I was wondering if Linux supports modern SSD features such as trim, SMART, wear leveling etc.

I’ve narrowed my search down to the Sk Hynix Platinum P41 2tb at 150USD and the Silicon Power XS70 2tb at 127USD. Bearing in mind that I’ll be using the SSD in an external SSD enclosure via thunderbolt4 which caps at PCIe 3 speeds but compatible with PCIe 4 SSDs as well. I tried to read the...

I've just bought a new laptop (2024 G14) and am planning to upgrade the internal SSD from 1TB to 4TB. Since I'm upgrading a SSD in a laptop, would power consumption/efficiency be a concern when looking for a SSD? And if so, are there any good low power Gen 4 (M.2) SSDs? I was looking at...

I just bought this M2 SSD, and I've stepped away from computers for some years, so I am unfamiliar how I can properly install the Samsung 980 Pro on my MSI Z170A Gaming Pro. What I mean by this is that I do not know how I can make it work at full speed and the way it's intended to be used. The...

What could have happened to my NVMe SSD? It's media integrity errors are at 20, but there are no bad sectors according to HD Sentinel. What could this mean? The error count increases when I play a specific game, and it auto-closes. However, this only happens with that particular game; other...

My father has a PC that he built back in 2004. At that time it was quite the rig, but now it's obviously like watching a turtle walk whenever it tries doing something. Normally in this situation, a fresh install on the new PC of windows 10 or 11 would do most people fine, but that won't work...

Hey people, I bought this SSD online worth half the price (it was a discounted offer, so I thought it was maybe legit, foolish of me of course) It has 1 TB capacity, but it doesn't let me download or copy data onto it if it's filled up more than 120 GB and causes my PC to freeze if I further try...
