My attempt to clone the old hard disk failed.
Finally did win10 clean install.

Later formatted the old windows partition as a data drive.

what did you use for cloning? how did you clone it? failed due to what reason? insufficient ssd space or any other anomalies?

I was using Maricum Reflect to clone the harddisk.

The program identified some errors with my harddisk.

Ran chkdsk and found the harddisk have some bad sectors.

ok got it it's not macrium reflect, but bad sectors that caused the failure. bad sectors are hard failure. i guess this was why macrium reflect stopped to proceed.

os cloning is a relatively straight forward task, especially with today's toolsets. usually if everything is right, it will not fail. in the case of transcend's cloning tool that come with any transcend ssd, it even creates its own system partition layouts, so that the task can be done successfully.

thanks a lot for the clarification. it's much better to state actual reasons instead of letting readers to use their own imaginations.

also, be careful of your hdd that has bad sectors. it's better to replace it with a new one to prevent potential corruption of your data.

Thanks for the note. will send harddisk for warranty claim.

Quick question, Rm600 for 850 Evo (500GB) worth it?

yes.

Definitely buying

RM300 for kingston hyperx fury ssd 240gb, ok mah? or is there a better option

of course it's fine. now the price for a 240gb range is around 400+. the controller is old sandforce and mlc nand, it's still capable enough for home use.

this is again a report about the up-coming samsung pm971, http://www.tomshardware.com/news/samsung-p...-ssd,35755.html

samsung pm971 is an entry-level nvme oem ssd with new proton controller, dram, and 48-layer tlc v-nand flash.

anyone has setup asus z270 mobo with intel 600p ssd m.2?

need a confirmation can detect or not...

i believe with search engines you should be able to find this out.

usually compatibility issues might exist in older mobos (z87 and below); z97/x99 onward normally are compatible.

the one that we have been waiting for from intel, the optane-based ssd from intel is finally here. it's called 900p.

it has a lot of obvious advantages over flash-based ssds, only a few of their weaknesses.

edit: forgot to mention, check out that endurance rating

Did.

Most result showed m.2 not detect... those such posts...lol..

looks at price....



close browser window

seriously? please show us one such results, and the exact mobo model of your asus z270 in question.

(the ones that i found didn't use asus boards, but apparently those boards support nvme ssds. the 'issues' were due to users not knowing how to configure their boards, or did something wrong)

yeah that price also, although it's much cheaper than the previous enterprise-level p4800x.

well, at least it's now in consumer market haha after a few years we should expect some other relatively affordable choices.

normal users really don't need this lol it's for prosumers actually.
