How do NVMe's generally work when they're not used as the system drive? Can I get one to put games on and see really fast load times, or is there still going to be a huge bottleneck on account of it not being the system drive?

Ah, I see. I didn't know it was already that bottlenecked. We'll have to see if DirectStorage/RTX IO will offer something in the future.

didn't pcie 3.0 motherboard heatsinks initially just trap the m.2 heat and make everything worse

If massive heatsinks taught me anything, it's that they don't operate on the principles of physics as much as blood sacrifices.

see if crystaldiskinfo has a better diagnosis for you. doesn't need to run a long analysis either. it was also the only thing i could use to identify the weird behaviour of my drives

i haven't messed with laptops in years, but i imagine thermals (without heatsinks) might be relevant if it's slotted into a laptop with little airflow

about to open the package for my samsung 980 pro m.2 drive with a heatsink and install it into my asus motherboard, but does anyone know for sure whether there's even enough clearance with this clunky io shield? again, this is with the pre-installed heatsink. i guess the shield runs flush with the pcie release switch which means it should be ok? i have no idea what the specs and standards are for m.2 heatshields. just an abundance of caution kliras fucked around with this message at 17:06 on Sep 26, 2022 |

will get you a simple adapter that lets you install the drive into a PCIe slot instead

been using primocache for ram+nvme as L1+L2 cache for a while, and it seems to work quite well (cache hit rate in the +80s), but i'm wondering how the software handles overprovisioning. is it something i should configure myself, or does the software already take it into account? maybe i should go back and change the partition

at this point, i might just as well get a pcie nvme adapter and retire some drives

Combat Pretzel posted:Also, turns out my Noctua cooler overlaps the primary CPU-bound M2 slot. by the way, are motherboard screws for nvme's standardized? i remember when you still needed the screws that came with the motherboard, and while i did keep mine, i couldn't fit any of my screwdrivers in it, and the drat plastic crap got stripped like crazy, so now my drive is just sort of inserted so i can get it out again

my entire computer literally fell over, and only crystaldiskinfo was able to tell me my mechanical drives were f'ed - after it was pretty much too late to do anything about it i'm an extremely annoying cdi evangelist now

TOOT BOOT posted:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08S7NV2B7 but my experimental ambitions were also just dashed after looking at my manual and realizing that this old piece of crap motherboard apparently has friggin pci 2.0 slots starting to think we should just go full usb and colour code the slots based on version, maybe even multiplier ...

with acer's upcoming orion sff case, you won't have to choose between hot swappable storage and m.2 drives! the flap at the front is where you slot in the drive. pretty neat kliras fucked around with this message at 15:07 on Aug 10, 2023 |

the power cables are so drat clunky to use, though, especially with modern case designs that aren't just one solid column of drives in a cage blocking all intake airflow

there was a bad issue with samsung drives a few months ago that was solved by simply installing a firmware update at the time. just don't buy a sandisk or seagate and you're prooobably fine

should be fine, just make sure to update the firmware there's also the recently-ish announced 990 evo to compare price and performance with, but it looks a little gimmicky so far: https://www.pcworld.com/article/2214459/samsung-990-evo-review.html kliras fucked around with this message at 17:37 on Mar 23, 2024 |
