as usual... windows update now fked up the nvme on windows..

have to clone to another ssd/hdd .. update and clone back.

yeah thats y until now i regret buying nvme

its so dependent on
1. mobo bios
2. Firmware
3. driver
4. OS

any one can F it up.

ssd still on main. nvme on benching only.

yeah atleast samsung puts a disclaimer whats the actual speed after the turbo boost ( initial)

but afaik nvme samsungs hasnt solved anything in windows patches yet

samsungs says MS fault MS says samsung. but intel nvme etc all no issue...

so thats that.

what happens.. during major updates like fall etc.. u get bsod. only way to update it without fresh install is.. clone to ssd/hdd.. update and clone back.

this issue is a big deal for me though

its been like this for years. sam blaims ms. ms says samsung.

no issue with other brand nvme.

thats the thing.. its been there for years.. just google..

but nobody talked about it...

i came from z87 to x299..

cause in the x299 a friend of mine told me about this.

my 960pro/evo i am just using them now lol as storage for games and another one as os for stresstesting/overclocking OS.

will never use them as daily driver

u will even find this issues on laptops etc.. fallupdate etc etc.. all bsod.

doubt it..

this issue is not current.. its been there since the first major update of windows

MS said is samsung issue.. samsung says is MS.

since 950 already had this since 1511..



i will see it when 18xx is out but just like me wishing TM unifi to have 1gbps.. doubt it...

check whether your board supports a bios with nvme boot drive.

if not get a custom mod bios.

btw wd black 512gb nvme u can it for rm799.. it does 3.4gb/s read 2.4gb/s write.
just get a pcie card adapter for it and you are good.

inilah terbaik 1tb.. usd 220.. 2000/1700 mb/s....

decent and cheap..

I do a lot of remux, encodes and initial torrent on da 1tb drives of mx500 and mx300
mainly tv shows/movie web dl

so the prep on da script is especially on tv shows.. download, unrar, remux, save on a HDD, plex refresh.
movie web-dl are same except theres no unrar...

on tv shows below 1gb.. not much diff between both.
however above 1gb.. its slower on mx500.. initiall mx500 suppose to be my web-dl movie drive.. but seeing this.. i made it as tvshow drive.
tested few times already. even tested on the same port the mx 300 ( currently mx300 handling movie web-dl and mx500 on tvshows) before mx300 was handling both.

how much slower..
hmm for tvshows say around 1.2gb.. on my system to do the download (20-30 sec) with that script running 1min on mx300..
mx500 can sometimes end up 2 mins...
movies this takes a bit longer because of the reencode of the ac3 move for dual track AAC/AC3 Passthrough.. so say a 4.5gb movie.. mx300 to do the whole thing download ( 2 min) ( remux, audio encode etc.. ) mx 300 3 min.. mx 500 4 min...

its always 30sec to 1 min longer.

too slow...

this dude.. by the time i finish that muxing etc.. already hit ratio upload ratio 2-3..

bought it.. too cheap.. .... hmm now i think about it.. shoudlnt i have bought da m.2 drive.. get a usb m.2 enclosure....

ehh... rm20.. dont makan kfclarr.. takan larr because of kfr dinner plate.. want da ssd at 130....

open new account in lazada.. RM10 discount


https://www.lazada.com.my/products/i3457659...lFlag=true&mp=1

RM148

so rm138..

shipping 5.20..

so dat usd 128+14.37 =142.36... current online shows 4.19.. but normally spread add another 2.5-3%... so 4.29475x142.36 = RM611.40..
not bad...

but i already sworn off from all samsung evo ssds. they are too gimmicky from ssd to nvme.

got da 11.11 sale for crucial 1tb..

so now sitting with 3x 1tb ssd mx300,mx500 x 2 and another 512gb x 2 mx100... feel like selling all and pay to get a 4tb ssd...

crucial dont bother the distro/shop..

btw isnt convergent owned by viewnet now.. they bought so many distros

just get the rma from SG and send it over.. ( they will fedex it back to u)

i have been testing intel optane 32gb with a 4tb wd red for torrent drive..

few things i can tell ya
1. it uses raid
2. if u somehow screw up da OS etc..
u cannot unoptane it

at current prices of nvme.. optane 32gb kindda pointless cause you can do a script on your torrent client to transfer to your hdd once the torrent done..

nice gimmick but overpriced atm.

eh did u see theres a write limit on the slc to maintain that 500mbps..
its similar to 960/970 evo..

crystal disk info

dont buy from this dude..

trust me.. u will regret it..

friend ordered the 1tb.. he didnt bother to reply... for nearly 10 days.. and last day he kept BS say ship lar etc.. then on 29th lazada refunded.

u sure that m.2 is pcie and not sata via pch??

second your windows installed uefi way??
third ahci enabled in bios??
