sweet thanks a lot for the tip! save me some troubles doing research again

yes i am gonna buy a few also for my current or next ssds.

My server is using ASUS M5A99X Rev 2.0 motherboard so I couldn't get the full speed of the SSD since the motherboard only supports PCI-e 2.0
If it was running on PCI-e 3.0, it should reach around 1700MB/s

But since it's a server, I couldn't care less as long as the boot-up is faster than conventional SATA SSD's

Also, Toshiba NVME SSD is quite bad in my opinion, without heatsink + active cooling it could reach 79°C, and that's while using in a casing with high airflow
The NVME SSD that I'm using in my SSD comes from my company's HP EliteBook 840 G4, took it out because got free upgrade to Samsung SM951 512GB
Wonder why HP picked the Toshiba NVME SSD to be used in their laptops, imagine the temperatures if it was used inside the laptop

maybe it's about cost factor. in general toshiba's nand is not bad.

samsung's z-ssd is finally official now, https://www.anandtech.com/show/12376/samsun...-800gb-of-znand

it's an more affordable alternative for intel's optane ssd. however, optane ssd still outshines this one for workloads that emphasize on random writes. (due to limitations of nand flash technology; the gap between nand flash and 3d xpoint is still a thing)

HI All, Today i have a DELL laptop that unable boot up windows. after checked by DELL engineer. He said it's the HDD problem. He replaced the HDD for me and then give me back the old one.

To be truth this is the first time i said this kind of SSD HDD. I need advise to find the adapter of this HDD so that i can restore the data from the HDD.

Thanks in adviance

HDD pic as below

it's a m.2 sata ssd. you can use this, https://www.aliexpress.com/item/M2-NGFF-SSD...2793504068.html

JEYI KNIGHT just arrived today
Took 19 days for it to arrive from China to Malaysia

Only have 1 picture for you guys tonight, will upload more later
This is way better than the JEYI SK8 PRO

Hi sifu, I have question to ask about SSD. Currently my PC is only running on SATA 2 (3Gb/s), definitely I won't able to achieve the rated speed for SSD.

Will it benefit to add SSD to my system even-though only on SATA 2?


At the moment, I have a WD Velociraptor 1TB as my main drive.

yes

yes, although the overall speed is throttled by sata2 (typically max at around 250MB/s) you still can enjoy benefits from high iops from ssd.

really not bad

there is a brand-new ssd optimization guilde for 2018, http://www.thessdreview.com/ssd-guides/opt...imization-2018/ (which include useful tips related to uefi bios)

be sure to read the article thoroughly, and understand that these optimizations are optional. our systems are built and set up differently, so don't apply the ones that can affect your system in a bad way. as always, system stability comes first.

1TB is getting cheaper...

actually at garage sales section we can find oem units that cost below 1k.

True, better get the one from garage sales since both of them don't really offer long term warranty.

right there are warranty risks, unless you can be very sure that seller can fulfill their side of the deal. this is why i think local oem units might be better.

Is my Samsung PM951 128gb M.2 (NVMe) write speed being throttled?
I am on Lenovo laptop.



Meanwhile my desktop Samsung 850 Evo 250gb SSD smokes the PM951 like no tomorrow.

you get the big numbers because of rapid mode, nvme ssd doesnt support rapid mode.

no the write speed for pm951 128gb is this slow.

usually we don't compare speeds with rapid mode turned on. if you wanna run nvme ssds with speeds as rapid mode, use primocache.

Sup fellas. Been a while since i last drop by here. Still awaiting 1TB ssd cheaper further.
