Another question..why does my 480GB SSB only shpow249GB available to use

untold grove Mar 3, 2021, 9:23 PM

either you used the space

or its not actually 480gb lol

partition it correctly

haha...it came ready to go in the box..I didn't partition

nimble robin Mar 3, 2021, 9:24 PM

extend the partition in disk management

pure osprey Mar 3, 2021, 9:24 PM

but can I partition it with data on it?

nimble robin Mar 3, 2021, 9:24 PM

#

yeah

#

just extend the volume

pure osprey Mar 3, 2021, 9:25 PM

#

oh okay

#

so maybe the SSD isn't going bad, maybe only having 12GB of space left gave me the "no able to find a boot device" meesage. I might not need a TB drive

nimble robin Mar 3, 2021, 9:28 PM

#

have you extended it or do you not know how?

pure osprey Mar 3, 2021, 9:30 PM

#

I did not..I have never done it but it sounds straight forward..it is a tool or a control panel program

nimble robin Mar 3, 2021, 9:33 PM

#

right click on windows button in bottom left

#

go to disk management

#

find the drive, right click

"extend partition" or something like that

what

fast pier Mar 4, 2021, 4:07 AM

So it seems like it's faulty cause I does not detect itself on the motherboard it's not the motherboard's fault it's probably just them. Because it has done that when I bought it like new out of the box put on my laptop and it didn't register at all it waited a whole day and it finally recognized itself for God knows what

Oh good to know. I was considering getting another for my main storage drive

#

so it should be faster than this one

blazing musk Mar 11, 2021, 5:33 AM

#

It probably will be faster yes. It's best to test an empty drive if you're comparing against rated speeds.

rugged charm Mar 11, 2021, 5:33 AM

#

Ok great. Might clone this drive and wipe it just to check the speed lol

rugged charm I have a XPG SX8200 Pro 1tb and in crystal disk mark it is not hitting anywhere ...

CPU M.2 or PCH M.2?

dusk turtle Mar 11, 2021, 5:34 AM

#

Oof

#

The infamous SX8200

ashen aurora Mar 11, 2021, 5:34 AM

#

Also the SX8200 pro has had several downgrades

dusk turtle Mar 11, 2021, 5:34 AM

#

That's been changed 3 times

rugged charm Mar 11, 2021, 5:34 AM

#

um cpu i think

#

oh really

ashen aurora Mar 11, 2021, 5:34 AM

#

The advertised speeds might be for the first version

ashen aurora Mar 11, 2021, 5:34 AM

#

rugged charm um cpu i think

yeah, they've nerfed it twice now without telling anyone

#

First the controller then the NAND

ashen aurora Mar 11, 2021, 5:35 AM

#

Well if ur using CPU M.2 then it should be fine

blazing musk Mar 11, 2021, 5:35 AM

#

Top slot, not bottom

#

Is what that means

ashen aurora Mar 11, 2021, 5:35 AM

#

But you do realise sequential don’t matter for a boot drive?

rugged charm Mar 11, 2021, 5:35 AM

#

Yup top slot

#

Really?

blazing musk Mar 11, 2021, 5:36 AM

#

Yeah it's all about shallow queue random IOPS for booting (and games too, to a lesser extent)

ashen aurora Mar 11, 2021, 5:36 AM

#

Yes getting the fastest drive out there in terms of sequential won’t show a significant enough change from any decent SSD

dusk turtle Mar 11, 2021, 5:37 AM

#

Nope. Just for reference for those here: https://www.reddit.com/r/hardware/comments/lk2f5i/breaking_news_adata_sx8200_pro_m2_ssd_performance/ "NOPE. ADATA has found a way to downgrade it EVEN MORE while still charging the same high price for customers! They now use SK Hynix flash which is around -1000MB/s SLOWER than the Samsung "downgrade" flash! "

Ouch

ashen aurora Mar 11, 2021, 5:37 AM

#

They tested the drive off of the PCH M.2 and 95% full

#

No wonder it performs like that

#

When they were asked to redo the testing

#

They didn’t reply

dusk turtle Mar 11, 2021, 5:38 AM

#

Well, Tom's tested it too

blazing musk Mar 11, 2021, 5:38 AM

#

Well it is a reddit post so take it with a grain of salt

rugged charm Mar 11, 2021, 5:38 AM

#

Their speeds aren't much different from mine lol

dusk turtle Mar 11, 2021, 5:38 AM

#

But not as slow

rugged charm Mar 11, 2021, 5:38 AM

#

and I'm not even 20%

dusk turtle Mar 11, 2021, 5:38 AM

#

Still, changing parts and not updating listings is kinda nasty

ashen aurora Mar 11, 2021, 5:39 AM

#

dusk turtle Well, Tom's tested it too

Yep that would be something you can look towards

dusk turtle Mar 11, 2021, 5:39 AM

#

Still, you're not gonna notice a difference in boot times

rugged charm Mar 11, 2021, 5:39 AM

#

Like you said, I probably got one of the revisions (downgrades)

dusk turtle Mar 11, 2021, 5:39 AM

#

Possibly

rugged charm Mar 11, 2021, 5:39 AM

#

My boot time is terrible I feel like

dusk turtle Mar 11, 2021, 5:40 AM

#

Should be ~10 seconds

rugged charm Mar 11, 2021, 5:40 AM

#

It seems to take the same amount of time as my Kingston A400

dusk turtle Mar 11, 2021, 5:40 AM

#

Yep

#

That's normal

rugged charm Mar 11, 2021, 5:40 AM

#

I haven't actually timed it though

dusk turtle Mar 11, 2021, 5:40 AM

#

There's MAYBE 1-2 seconds over a SATA SSD for boot

#

If that

rugged charm Mar 11, 2021, 5:40 AM

#

oh alright

Do the sata m.2s make any sense to buy?

#

I want to get a 2+tb for game storage

dusk turtle Mar 11, 2021, 5:41 AM

#

A good NVME is the same price as a good SSD now

#

Both 1 TB around $100

#

2TB still kinda pricey

ashen aurora Mar 11, 2021, 5:42 AM

#

good SATA SSD?

rugged charm Mar 11, 2021, 5:42 AM

#

Good point

#

Plus I guess the nvme drive would be worth the extra $10-15 because of transfer speed

dusk turtle Mar 11, 2021, 5:43 AM

#

All the 1 TB SSD's are $90-$100

#

Mushkin Pilot E is $109 for NVME

rugged charm Mar 11, 2021, 5:43 AM

#

So should I grab another SX8200?

dusk turtle Mar 11, 2021, 5:43 AM

#

No

#

Mushkin Pilot E if you want an NVME drive

rugged charm Mar 11, 2021, 5:44 AM

#

Alright let me look

#

2 TB is still over $200

rugged charm Mar 11, 2021, 5:45 AM

#

Yea, but I'd have to get atleast 2tb

#

I'll probably grab one

#

and do these really need any extra cooling?

dusk turtle Mar 11, 2021, 5:46 AM

#

Not really, no

#

If they were gen 4 drives I'd recommend a heatsink

#

Or if you were pounding them with data but every day use they're fine

rugged charm Mar 11, 2021, 5:46 AM

#

Ooh what if I get 2 of these and put them in a expansion card

#

it'd be cheaper than buying a 4tb

dusk turtle Mar 11, 2021, 5:47 AM

#

It would be, yes

rugged charm Mar 11, 2021, 5:48 AM

#

Alright, thanks for your help. I'm gonna grab two of these and an expansion card

When is read/write speeds used?

olive wadi Mar 11, 2021, 5:32 PM

#

static badger When is read/write speeds used?

Like sequentials?

#

Read and write speeds are you used when you read and write to the drive.

static badger Mar 11, 2021, 5:33 PM

#

olive wadi Read and write speeds are you used when you read and write to the drive.

does loading something eg. a game use read or write

olive wadi Mar 11, 2021, 5:34 PM

#

static badger does loading something eg. a game use read or write

that's more dependent on random read/writes and mixed IO performance than sequentials

You shouldn't be buying a high end SSD for gaming, but you shouldn't be buying a garbage tier one either

I know

olive wadi Mar 11, 2021, 5:36 PM

#

static badger so it uses both?

Consider the fact that your game saves data, and needs to read the program off the SSD.

#

Most programs you use are going to result in some form of read and write to the SSD

#

If your games didn't write to your SSD how would they be able to save stuff like game progress?

#

And you need to pull said game from your SSD, which is reading it.

static badger Mar 11, 2021, 5:36 PM

#

yeah

#

ok, ty

olive wadi Mar 11, 2021, 5:37 PM

I'll just recommend you an SSD
