alright but like is there a review

Micron 176L when xd

itās already a thing

I mean on consumer drives
Saw it on a micron drive like a month ago
(Micron 3400)
When we getting it in like rocket 4 plus

When we getting it in like rocket 4 plus
rocket 4 plus is already bae
it shouldnāt change

yea, now no death pls
c710 very poggy woggy
minor sun
Why tho
trim cloak
why wut
warped rampart
no death
minor sun
Mp33 and helix L are more my go to for budget drives
warped rampart
mp33 has been solid since i started giving build help
minor sun
Well, go-to-check drives
trim cloak
c710 is cheaper tho
minor sun
1$
trim cloak
and z330 occasionally becomes below as well
minor sun
Lol
kind sierra
mp33 has been solid since i started giving build help
Not a fan of the mp33
That price tier I'd go sn550
warped rampart
how come
minor sun
Most people aren't going to go through the pslc cache
trim cloak
ā¦.what
kind sierra
Kinda bad hmb
minor sun
Sure split metadata on the sn550 makes it perform nice but that doesn't make mp33 bad :p
warped rampart
look when it comes to gamers (average build helpee) they really dont need much more than an mp33
kind sierra
It doesn't make it good either
minor sun
It makes mp33 tolerable, especially when considering price
warped rampart
sn550 was always good for UK builds
kind sierra
mp34 though
trim cloak
Sure split metadata on the sn550 makes it perform nice but that doesn't make mp3...
split metadata is just a weird implementation they decided to do
warped rampart
a80 though
trim cloak
i would rather pure dynamic
minor sun
90$ mp33 1tb or 105$ sn550 1tb is an easy choice imo
trim cloak
butā¦idk WD on crack or sum
minor sun
split metadata is just a weird implementation they decided to do
It performs good, good enough for me
trim cloak
yea, but the decision was weird lol
kind sierra
If there's room in budget, I usually go mp34
minor sun
It's not dumb if it works ;)
warped rampart
90$ mp33 1tb or 105$ sn550 1tb is an easy choice imo
a80 at 99$ tho
minor sun
P34a80 or p32a80
trim cloak
didnāt say it was dumbš¤Ø
warped rampart
P34a80 or p32a80
p34
minor sun
Also, did p34a80 change controllers again after going e12 to sm2252 or whatever
trim cloak
why get an mp34 when z340 is $10 cheaper
or sn750 š¤Ø
or just be weird and pay $20 more for us70
minor sun
Sn750 a lil sad though
trim cloak
how is it sad

luckily i got one for a good deal at mc iirc 100$

<@319961829491212288> ever got the kids who cry when the drive is dramless
a lot of times yes definitely
trim cloak
it's like a low end high end drive if you look at rnd
for $115 itās not bad at all
minor sun
usually 130$, which is what my impression of it comes from
kind sierra
115 is a sale price

You can't compare sale prices to normal prices
minor sun
pilot e is nice, 110$ pretty consistently
warped rampart
last time i was in pcpp server pilot e was hard parroted
trim cloak
that makes no senseā¦itās what it is going for
kind sierra
Then why not just buy the 970 evo
trim cloak
you expect me to pay higher retail prices because itās not the original purpose
minor sun
last time i was in pcpp server pilot e was hard parroted
pilot e is just kind of hardwired into my brain
kind sierra
512gb 970 evo, 54 bucks
warped rampart
pilot e is just kind of hardwired into my brain
lol also that time i got a build from u a while back you used a pilot e
trim cloak
where
kind sierra
It was on Amazon
trim cloak
right now?
kind sierra
About nine months ago, but it was what it went for
minor sun
i would still rather z340 over pilot-e anyway
btw, why? I feel like pilot e would just perform better
trim cloak
you clearly canāt comprehend sales going on rn, so idk what you think this is
trim cloak
btw, why? I feel like pilot e would just perform better
better random io and such
not a big difference
but thatās me, idc what anyone else gets lol
minor sun
I'll check, but p sure pilot e will do better in most seq benches
trim cloak
also was cheaper for a while, they trade blows with that
if youāre looking at max sequential then yea
but that doesnāt matter like at all lol
which can vary from drive to drive of the same model
trim cloak
ye iām not disregarding sequential workloads
minor sun
if youāre looking at max sequential then yea
not max seq, was just looking at a bunch of charts on tom's hardware, most looked like pilot e is just superior, looking at rnd atm, but it seems like they might've used different versions of iometer or something, because the same drive got different scores in the two different reviews, which makes me sad.
wasn't even paying attention to what chart I saw
warped rampart
dyes
kind sierra
For a drive rn I'd say pilot e is the best bet
minor sun
anyways, too lazy atm to pay attention, pilot e seems fine still for my uses in slapping in people's lists
minor sun
because p32a80 dumb
trim cloak
a80 currently is p34, why would SP want to keep it currently p32 in the market
i mixed that up
olive wadi
For a drive rn I'd say pilot e is the best bet

I mean, for the most part... SSDs are fairly similar to HDD's. It's just the way they are plugged in. Either an M.2 connection, or a standard SATA connection. M.2 will (if it's NVMe) be faster than SATA.
trim cloak
in what are they similar lol, the fact that they store data?
they are literally completely different
tall ore
The fact that they both store data, permenantly.
trim cloak
wellā¦not permanently
tall ore
They both serve the exact same function, in 2 different speeds.
trim cloak
thereās faulty factors to think about
tall ore
It's about as permanent as human life is.
trim cloak
you ever heard of electrons āleakingā out?
or even for hard drives, that can all cause corrupted foles
tall ore
I've literally, never heard of that, it sounds like a REALLY rare thing to have happen.
Because... For the most part, unless a Platter is damaged, or the Head just fails. An HDD lasts a LONG time.
And SSDs have a pretty long shelf life too.
trim cloak
well the disk can fail, itās not invincibleā¦
yea but itās mot nearly forever
data retention is a thing, and can affect both storage devices
minor sun
I've literally, never heard of that, it sounds like a REALLY rare thing to have ...
As a side note, nand flash cells work by having electrons practically teleport into a charge trap soooo (quantum tunneling is fun)
But SSDs are called SSDs because they are Solid-State drives, no moving parts, no platter
HDDs are quite prone to being damaged by vibrations and relatively strong magnets, SSDs really aren't
trim cloak
idk why you felt the need to say all that

@undone jacinth just think of it this way, a m.2 drive is tiny, a 2.5in drive just has a m.2 drive but with that huge surface area for the heat to radiate off of, and it's not NVMe, so it's not going to be running that fast or hot
Not accurate but easier to think of

where you have to start worrying about dram is SATA drives

I guess, but I don't see any issue with my dramless wd green
But for sata it's recc to have dram anyway
torpid adder

That looks like your bios is configured for RAID mode

Weird. The only other thing that would cause the drive to not be detected is a weird driver.

So CrystalDiskInfo isn't seeing any drive?

HI all. First time on discord. Recommended from the help desk at Newegg. I have a 2018 HP laptop that I like a lot, but I need to increase the internal SSD storage. At the moment it has a SK hynix PC401 HFS256GD9TNG-62A0A drive installed. I'm looking for recommendations of a larger drive that will fit in the same space, and any helpful information on how to clone the drive and do the swap. Is this a good place to get that info ?
blazing musk
HI all. First time on discord. Recommended from the help desk at Newegg. I ha...
That's a standard NVMe 2280 drive. How large are you looking for? There's decent drives for about $90 for 1TB or $185 for 2TB.
Cloning is easy enough. There's several methods you can use.
waxen dome
I'd probably be fine going to 1TB. I think my lightroom catalog is the big consumer so going from 256G to 1 TB is likely enough, though twice as much for another $ 90 or so mibht be worth it. Assuming I order a drive, do I need to order something like an enclosure to do the clone ? I did that on my last laptop and it went fine, but it looks like the form factor has changed.
blazing musk
An enclosure would be the easiest method for cloning but it's not the only method. If you have a backup hard drive you can save an image of the drive to that, but it's a little more complicated.
sour wadi
I'd spend the extra 5$ for the sn550 if you can afford
waxen dome
Seems like a good choice and it's on sale at newegg now. Any thoughts on an enclosure and any software needed to clone ?
blazing musk
You could use an enclosure like this, any will do tbh just make sure it's PCIe NVMe compatible
https://www.amazon.com/SSK-Aluminum-Enclosure-Adapter-External/dp/B07MNFH1PX/ref=psdc_160354011_t1_B076DCNZM3
As far as software, Clonezilla is the best way since it runs from outside Windows, but Macrium Reflect is decent enough

HI guys, My PC is dis-connecting some of my SATA drives, A HDD and a SSD. I get a message through Intel rapid storage technology app saying they have dis-connected. It seems to be out of no where, the only thing I can think of is I recently hooked up a USB external HDD with some media files on it but I've tried with it unhooked too with the same results. I restarted my PC to try to fix the issue but it was taking forever in the loading screen after post. so I checked BIOS but the only thing that looked weird in there was it was in CSM mode and I thought it was always in UEFI but I can't be a 100% sure of that, Do you guys have any ideas about fixing this issue and what ever may have caused it? Thanks

Im having an issue with my RAID 0 speeds. Read and write is only about 20MB/s on otherwise healthy drives. The drives in the array are 3 146GB 10k SAS Drives.
blazing musk
Hardware or software raid? Sounds like one of the drives has a failing controller maybe
blazing musk
You can check the SMART data by turning off raid mode in bios and booting an external OS like a Linux USB boot
I don't know of any non-specialty tool that can read SMART while raid is on
Then when you're done you can just turn raid back on
red jay
Yea I checked, and everything had seemed fine
blazing musk
Hmm, probably want to back up the data first and foremost. Raid 0 is risky, especially 3 way.
blazing musk
No data, ok cool that's easy to test then. Turn off raid and you can test each drive individually for speed to see if one is the fault or if it's another factor by re-initializing the disk and putting a new volume on it.
red jay
Fair enough
blazing musk
If each drive is roughly the same then you can do software raid using Windows storage spaces (or similar) which will tell you if it's the southbridge or driver that's at fault.
red jay
Yea each drive is identical
blazing musk
I mean roughly the same performance when you test individual speeds
red jay
Oh
blazing musk
Should have been more clear sorry
red jay
Lol it's fine man
Yea two of the 3 drives are getting around 10MB/s
The other one is fine
blazing musk
Yea two of the 3 drives are getting around 10MB/s
Now you know where the issue is at least, either the controllers or other hardware are failing on those 2 drives. Since they're 10k drives it's possibly the motor, which can be replaced if that's the issue.
plush crag
Try putting the hba into IT mode
red jay
I'm gonna contact the seller and see if I can get 2 replacement drives. If not, it's not worth shelling out the money for repairs since I had planned on upgrading drives in the nearish future anyway
Also Im pretty sure it is a physical issue with the drives since They were making clicking noises whenever they were being operated. I had suspected those two drives were bad all along when my OS install was being extremely slow.
I just wasnt sure if that was normal since I dont use 10k drives too often, and the drives were technically functional
Well that was a quick response, they said theyll send 2 replacement right away

real lava

sour wadi
what makes SSD different from others?
Just different controllers and nand flash, just like what makes a car good, is a cheap car still a car yeah, but a good more expensive car will be a nicer, faster experience
flint lake
yeah, but basing of the speed mentioned under the SSD i chose, it seems like that would be a faster experience, for a better price
since the writing speed is 3400 MB/s
and the reading speed is 3000 MB/s
sour wadi
since the writing speed is 3400 MB/s
That's sequential speed, not random, sequential is what you use if you're transfering like a huge 30gb file, random is what you use day to day, so random performance is actually way more important to majority of people
flint lake
so where can i see the random performance
or is that just very different for each ssd, and its something u cant really see?
sour wadi
or is that just very different for each ssd, and its something u cant really see...
No, it's something you can see, random performance is measured in iops, if you look up a review or something of the drive if it isn't on the website
