Question Best allocation file size for external SSD?

After doing many tests, I got the best speeds by setting the allocation unit size to 128K. When I set it at the default 32K, small file transfers slowed down to a crawl.

Question SK hynix Platinum P41 2TB SSD Write speed dropped by half

Yes, last month I had the WD Dashboard installed and it prompted me for an update. When it updated, it was renamed to SanDisk Dashboard but everything else is exactly the same, not a single change, not even the UI or colors.

Question SK hynix Platinum P41 2TB SSD Write speed dropped by half

Where's the bloat? It's a utility, you use it to check for firmware updates and check drive health (if needed). You also have the option to enable Game Mode which I haven't bothered with as I read from reviews that it doesn't do anything meaningful but it's definitely not bloatware. Heck, you...

Question SK hynix Platinum P41 2TB SSD Write speed dropped by half

When you get them and install them, don't forget to install the SanDisk Dashboard, after you install it, go into settings, set it to launch automatically, then set it to launch in the background so it doesn't pop in your face every time you start Windows, then finally, enable the option to...

Question SK hynix Platinum P41 2TB SSD Write speed dropped by half

The ADATA Legend 960 MAX is not bad, mediocre performance. I would get the WD_BLACK SN850X from China, those SSDs are built like a tank. The WD7100 is not bad but I don't understand why SanDisk/Western Digital would release such low capacity drives in 2025. I have owned the WD_Black SN850X in...

Question SK hynix Platinum P41 2TB SSD Write speed dropped by half

Don't get the Lexar, I work for a computer company that sells custom built laptops and we had so many Lexar SSD drive failures we stopped using them. The speeds are great but it's not reliable, just stick to WD or Samsung and call it a day man, stop trying stuff with your precious data!

They're the same, cancel the order, there are so many good SSDs out there it makes no sense to take a chance with these crappy drives

Question RIP TeamViewer Free, any alternatives?

RustDesk FTW, way better than AnyDesk, no ads, no popups, it just works. When the client runs it, they don't even need to install it if they don't want to, they just run it once, give you the ID then either give you the password or you simply connect without a password, they accept the prompt...

Question SSD Free Space vs Overprovisioning

1) Is there a benefit to overprovisioning an SSD if I have 50% free space? 2) Does overprovisioning by 20% have any performance advantage over 10%

Any good PCIe 5 SSD that don't overheat? I will be using it in a laptop so heatsink is not an option.
