Black is performance oriented HDD, N300 is NAS HDD. Both spin at 7200rpm.

If your router have USB port you can put the N300 in external cover and connect to it, making it your LAN storage.

I dont know about you, but I miss those noise....

I still remember my P4 jet engine days
When first upgraded to Core2, no noise, I thought PC died....
then got SSD, no HDD spin up sound, also thought PC died.....
now, RGB lighting is a must, otherwise will think PC died

How close you sit to your PC?
My pc is at least 1.5 m away so not much of a noise except from my VEGA blower fan when it's working hard.

use it as network storage is not too bad, except most of the router still not powerful enough to fully utilize desktop hdd performance, the transfer rate will be much slower than pc.

If it's cheap and no major performance problem, i don't see why i should avoid it.

no LED light on USB thumbdrive = didn't know there's virus silently transferring data

It's not the front door panel for sure. It's not rattling and not much vibrations actually.

Thanks! A little worried about the heat management as the place I put my router is lacking ventilation.

I sit right next to the PC actually. The case actually manage to dampen a lot of the high frequency noise, now what's left is the lower frequency.

I'm using the ASUS RT 68U router. Getting 3 out of 4 bars from 5Ghz. Speed test result: 180-200 Mbps DL, 350 Mbps UL, 6ms ping. My Internet ISP is Time rated at 800Mbps

p/s: I just remembered that I installed several games on the HDD lol. Is it possible to play it over WiFi or over USB 3.0 cable (if I decide to turn my HDD into an external drive and connect to pc via cable)?

How is PNY CS3030 ?

I am planning to get the 2TB version

I'm using the same router for years, the USB transfer rate from the router is crappy lol, due to missing some function like write caching, USB3 UASP (USB Attached SCSI)
My slow WD blue hdd can achieve average transfer rate of 100MB/s for file writing, you probably wont see this kind of performance on router.

You can play the games over network, you just have to mount the HDD via Windows 10 function, Map network drive.
It work with Steam as i've tried before, but the loading time will be much slower.

Anyone wanna trade their Western Digital SN750 1TB without heatsink with my Western Digital SN750 1TB with heatsink?

if i have a nvme ssd but my notebook do not support nvme, what choice do i have to still utilize the ssd

Use it as portable SSD

Aik.. why? Tot its even better with heatsink.. or is it because your mobo already have m.2 heatsink?

I think the laptop or the usb enclosure cannot swallow it...

Looks alright, according to the SSD database:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1B27...id=0&range=B163

Toshiba NAND + Phison controller, and comes with DRAM caching as well

How do people get maximum speed out of this? Mine is Samsung Evo 970 Plus 500gb...
i5 9400F
TUF B360 Plus Gaming

Did you use Samsung NVME drivers or the default Windows one?

if im nt wrong its ur mobo limitation

from the mobo pages
With x2 PCI Express® 3.0 bandwidth, M.2 supports up to 16Gbps data-transfer speeds.

both ur mobo m.2 slots running at PCIE 3.0 x 2 mode

also logically speaking u wont notice too much diff.

dear all, I am looking to buy 1TB SSD 2.5inch and main purpose is for gaming, as recently gaming installation size looks kinda big and taking up space. I don't really think i need the ssd to be super reliable, so if it's corrupted i will just need to reinstall the game so not like keeping personal documents.

is ADATA ok or anyone else better recommendation? From shopee, i can see about RM450 range for 960GB size...

thank you
