    Adata XPG SX8200 Pro 512gb installation questions

    I'm currently putting my system together, this is my first SSD and I'm unsure on how best to install my Adata XPG SX8200 Pro 512gb. Firstly, is it a single or double-sided NvMe? It has some chips on the rear but so I guess that counts as double-sided? Or does it only count as double-sided if...

    CROSSHAIR VI HERO (x370) nvme adapter and drive?

    Hello, I’ve got a CROSSHAIR VI HERO (x370) I’ve decided to keep due to the limited real-world FPS difference in PCIe 4 vs PCIe 3 (I’ll probably upgrade to a 3080/ 3070, but from what I read I won’t notice a difference due to PCIe 4 vs PCIe 3). However, I would like another NVME drive, with this...

    Cloning a MBR boot drive (sata ssd) to a GPT drive (nvme ssd)

    So recently bought a 2tb Sabrent rocket. I have installed it into the m2_1 slot with PCIe enabled. On drive initialisation using disk management, I set it to GPT partition and assumed my old boot drive ssd (samsung 830) was also gpt. But seems that the old boot drive is on MBR partition. If I...

    NVMe drive slowly dies in motherboard slots but is fine in PCIe expansion card

    Hello. I was wondering if someone a lot smarter than me could help me understand as google has thus far turned up nothing I can grasp. A while back i bought a Samsung 970 EVO Plus Polaris 500GB M.2 2280 PCI-e 3.0 x4 NVMe Solid State Drive to insert into one of 3 m.2 slots on my Z370 AORUS...

    Budget PC £800 - £1000

    Hi Everyone Can anyone recommend a gaming PC build for a budget of £800 to £1000 maximum spend? A good case, fairly decent graphics card, CPU, Nvme ssd etc... I was thinking of going the AMD route but what do you suggest? Thanks,

    PCI Express: x12 slots?

    Can a PCI Express slot be split into x12 and x4? On most consumer motherboards there in one PCIe x16 slot which can be split into two x8 slots. That's not a lot of use these days. Allegedly the new GPUs will be bottlenecked by a PCIe v4 x8 slot, but not a x16 slot. NVME cards run off x4 slots...

    Corsair MP510 nvme m.2 ssd high pitch noise sound under load

    Hi all, I built my system back in November and am using a Corsair MP510 480GB m.2 Gen 3 SSD for my OS drive. The drive is working fine (read/writes etc), however when loading a game with a lot of heavy mods, the drive makes a high pitched sound/noise. As soon as the game has loaded, this stops...

    PCIe v4 NVME drive - why so slow?

    Sabrent are launching a 4 TB PCIe v4 NVME drive. The read speed is 40% better than v3 but the write speed is only marginally better: Why is this? Why aren't both - particularly read, near double?

    Which 2TB NVME for VM host

    Afternoon Currently using 280 GB Intel 900p's for disk intensive VMs and some Samsung 960 Evos for other machines. The 900p is awesome but a bit on the small side, and the 960 Evos are OK, but again a bit on the small side at 250GB each. I'm looking for something with better perf than the...

    When will motherboards drop SATA ports?

    Space on motherboards is precious and NVME / M.2 drives require a lot. SATA is old tech, so why not just drop the SATA ports on the motherboard and supply an add-in SATA card for one of the x1 or x4 slots instead? Or even an adapter for one of the M.2 slots. When do you think this will happen...

    Z490 Aorus Master with NVME

    Hi, I am thinking of getting the z490 aorus master with 10900k but was wondering if anyone can tell me, when an NVME drive is being used does the PCIe slot get reduced to x8?

    7,000 MB/s PCIE 4.0 drives

    I read a while back that the Phison PS5018-E18 controller was set to release H1 2020. Anyone heard anything else on this? I'm holding off on PCIE 4.0 drives until it looks like they are close to maxing out my X570 board. Should be a long lasting upgrade.

    AMD Epyc has problems when you max out PCIe lanes

    Linus Tech Tips has an interesting video about the problems they had when they maxxed out the PCIe lanes on their Epyc server with umpteen NVME drives TLDR There are major performance issues; it's all too fast and the bandwidth is overloaded. I'm wondering if Intel solutions have the same...
