  1. Question No more Samsung mSatas?

    UPDATE - Sabrent just announced a brand new mSATA ssd. First announcement I have seen in a very long time. Go to the Sabrent website for more information
  2. Question *Cheapest* (full-speed) PCI-E 4.0 NVMe SSD drive - any / minimum size?

    Larry - Sorry! No bargains yet. NewMaxx - News articles published a few days ago indicate Samsung will release the 980 Pro sometime in August. Very little in the way of additional technical info right now.
  3. Question Samsung 870 QVO SATA SSD is here (soon)!

    Shmee - Samsung is expected to release the Samsung 980 Pro, PCI-e, M.2 4.0 x 4, Generation4, NVMe solid state drive sometime in August. Random read / writes for the 1TB model is listed as 6,500 / 5,000 MB/s. That's a little bit of improvement over the current Phison E16 models; however, I...
  4. Question Samsung 870 QVO SATA SSD is here (soon)!

    According about 15 tech reviews published yesterday, the 870 QVO has a new Samsung MKX controller, 96 Layer QLC memory, 1Gb to 8GB LPDDR4, and 42GB to 78GB SLC cache.
  5. Question No more Samsung mSatas?

    ^5 +1 what aigomorla said. mSATA solid state drives are definitely obsolete. I maintain a public service ssd database. I have not seen any technical reviews or announcements about mSATA solid state drives for several years.
  6. Question Sabrent 1tb M.2 PCIe 4 or Samsung 970 Evo Plus M.2

    Hiya Larry! Thanks for mentioning the thermals. Completely forgot about it.
  7. Question Sabrent 1tb M.2 PCIe 4 or Samsung 970 Evo Plus M.2

    If you are ready to buy, then I am inclined to agree with aigomorla. However, if you are not in a hurry, then there might be an alternative. Last January at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Samsung showed off their new 980 Pro, PCI-e 4.0x4, M.2, NVME ssd that outperformed the current...
  8. Question Is HDR worth it?

    I had a 3 year old Acer 43 inch monitor that was HDR 100 capable. I could not see any notable difference when HDR 100 was enabled so I left it turned off. Two weeks ago I upgraded to the new Acer Predator 43 inch model that is HDR 1000 capable. HDR 1000 definitely made a visible difference. I...
  9. Question Why do NVMe drives with Phison E12 controller (MyDigitalSSD BPX PRO and Corsair MP510) have a much higher TBW warranty compared to others?

    ARRRRGGGHHH! Glad I mentioned that I am growing old disgracefully. Thanks for the enlightenment. I went back and took another look at several models. Samsung now incorporates TBW into their warranties and the TBW varies by model and capacities. My bad. Oddly for all models they also show a...
  10. Question Why do NVMe drives with Phison E12 controller (MyDigitalSSD BPX PRO and Corsair MP510) have a much higher TBW warranty compared to others?

    VirtualLarry - That certainly is a possibility providing the ssd company uses TBW. Most don't. For example, while I was checking the Samsung USA web site a little while ago, the company lists 1.5 Million Hours Reliability (MTBF) instead of TBW for any capacity 860 EVO. Doesn't mater whether it...
  11. Question Why do NVMe drives with Phison E12 controller (MyDigitalSSD BPX PRO and Corsair MP510) have a much higher TBW warranty compared to others?

    UsandThem: You posted the following: "For example, both the MP510 and BPX PRO (480 GB version) comes with a 800 TBW warranty" I do not know of any ssd manufacturer that uses TBW for a warranty. As far as I know all manufacturer warranties for consumer ssd's are expressed in years. The...
  12. Should we only use Gold rated PSUs?

    A well built 500 watt power supply with 40 amps on a rock solid 12 volt rail is usually sufficient for general mainstream use, casual gaming, and mild overclocking in a desktop system with one graphics card. There are some exceptions such as hardcore gaming with multiple graphics cards, extreme...
  13. Question What was your first SSD and when did you buy it?

    My first ssd was a SAMSUNG 470 Series 2.5" 256GB SATA II Internal Solid State Drive that I purchased in December 2010. Historical Trivia - Tom's Hardware, which is AnandTech's sister site now that Purch owns them, published their first ssd technical review in June 2006. The drive was so new it...
  14. Old Seasonic, any issues with running modern system?

    I have an old Seasonic X650 Gold power supply in my personal pc. I purchased it about 8 years ago. I use my pc several hours per day. I have not experienced any psu problems during use. Every time I build a new pc I keep recycling the psu. It is the second best component purchase I ever made...
  15. Carbide Air 740 horizontal???

    I didn't mention it but I am an experienced enthusiast and case modder. I bought my first IBM desktop pc back in 1984. I have been building, upgrading, and modding ever since. Adding case feet would not be a problem for me. I like large washing machine case feet. They are made of rubber, are...
  16. Carbide Air 740 horizontal???

    Hiya Gang I was looking at the Corsair Carbide Series Air 740 pc case. Here is a link to Corsair's web site with images of the case: https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Cases/Carbide-Series™-Air-740-High-Airflow-ATX-Cube-Case/p/CC-9011096-WW The bottom panel is not a plain flat...
  17. Why don't case manufacturers offer panels & accessories for their cases

    Campy - It was a video review of the Cooler Master H500P Mesh.
  18. Why don't case manufacturers offer panels & accessories for their cases

    HI! I am guessing most of the cases with solid panels instead of ventilated panels are intended for water cooling. I'm old school and a big fan of open air cooling. Two days ago I came across a new case review. The case came with two front panels. One was a glass panel and one was a mesh...
  19. Putting parts from old PC into new case

    You most certainly can transfer pc components from an existing case to a newer case. I have done it many times over the years. In fact, I am getting ready to do it again. There are a few things to check before purchasing a new case. Most of it has to do with physical dimensions and storage...
  20. z370/z390 motherboards with real heatsinks

    Is there a chance that what you actually mean are the old forged copper heatsinks with tiny fans that replaced the old stock northbridge and southbridge heatsinks? A long long time ago, long before the Internet, hardcore enthusiasts would install them. The practice never really caught on among...
  21. Where can I find 140mm case fan reviews?

    Here is a link to quite a large number of Noctua case fan reviews: https://noctua.at/en/reviews Google is your friend. You should not have experienced any problems searching for 140mm case fan reviews. Here are a variety of links to the reviews...
  22. Samsung 960 Pro NVMe M.2 SSD Heat Question

    The 960 Pro comes with a thin copper heatsink under the label.
  23. SK Hynix 16 Gb DDR4 memory modules available now.

    EDIT - Comment deleted. I replied before reading the entire AnandTech article.
  24. Samsung 860 PRO / EVO is here

    Hiya Gang! Yesterday AnandTech, Tom's hardware, several other English Language sites, as well as German, Polish, and Swedish sites published reviews of the brand new Samsung 860 Pro and 860 EVO SATA 3 models with 3D 64 Layer MLC flash. Capacities will eventually increase to 4TB. Computer Base...
  25. Flourinert for DRAM cooling? Is it needed, or just marketing?

    Larry, I am inclined to think it is marketing more than anything else. Companies have to keep coming up with new ideas to generate revenue. Some of those ideas are of questionable value. Personally, I have always used plain, standard height memory modules. They work for me.
  26. A hard drive that could fully utilize SATA Express?

    It is possible but not probable. The SATA Express standard was a last ditch effort to keep the international SATA standard alive and well. Instead, motherboard manufacturers decided to use the M.2/PCIe standard as an all-in-one solution. Unlike SATA Express, the M.2/PCIe standard can be used in...
  27. Has Windows' S.M.A.R.T. features ever saved you from a failing drive?

    Hiya Larry! Bought my first hard drive way back in 1985. Been upgrading ever since. Never had a hard disk go bad on me. They don't call me lucky for nothing. Almost as good with mainstream customers. Only had two customers with problems. Both were young people that managed to fill their...
  28. Intel Optane 900P

    Three technical reviews were published this morning - AnandTech, PC Perspective, and Tom's Hardware. Intel did not send any 900P's to other web sites for review. After reading all three reviews I have come to the conclusion the 900P is definitely high performance but it is overkill for me. I am...
  29. How long do you think we will see desktops having 3.5" hard drives for primary storage?

    Yesterday there were several published news reports indicating that solid state drives will outsell hard drives by the year 2021. I purchased my very first hard drive in 1985. It was a Seagate 10MB (not GB) model with an access time of 122 milliseconds. Here it is 32 years later and hard drives...
  30. Why so few PCI-E M.2 NVMe SSDs? Where are the budget options? Where's the sweet spot?

    Here you go - 17 PCIe ssd's reviewed and compared: https://us.hardware.info/reviews/7505/17-pci-express-ssds-round-up-the-fastest-ssds The article is also available in several other languages. EDIT - Just went through the article. It is a little disappointing since it mostly features the...
  31. Why so few PCI-E M.2 NVMe SSDs? Where are the budget options? Where's the sweet spot?

    Hiya Larry! I don't know if you remember but I maintain a consumer ssd database with basic information about the drives and links to technical reviews. The reviews are divided into English language reviews and reviews in other languages...
  32. Samsung T5 SSD - Where art thou?

    From the same article you quoted: "Samsung confirmed the company was currently working to develop the new product, but said the schedule for its official launch hadn’t been made yet." “It is yet too early to confirm specifications about the new product, including the name,” said a Samsung...
  33. Hot - Samsung 850 Pro Endurance Test Results

    Glaring Mistake - A great big thank you for the information you provided. I just corrected all endurance discrepancies by deleting that column from the database. There were too many variables for the information to be accurate. The first problem I ran into were that some companies did not...
  34. Hot - Samsung 850 Pro Endurance Test Results

    Hilbert Hagedoorn, "The Guru of 3D" just published a news report about a 3 year long ssd endurance test performed by German Magazine C'T. A Samsung 850 Pro bested other brands with grand total of 9,100 TB of data written. That's 9.1 Petabytes or about 9,100,000 Gigabytes written. Samsung's...
  35. Acer ET430K - 43" 3840x2160 Display

    Acer took me by surprise. I had been researching several other 42.5 inch monitors when I stumbled across the ET430K. The Acer model has been out for quite some time but there is a distinct lack of competent technical reviews. The few reviews out there are mostly blogs with images and advertising...
  36. Mushkin Enhanced Reactor - possible bait & switch

    RIFTER: I don't think Mushkin was trying to trick people. Their own web site and the technical reviews I have listed in the ssd database I maintain are all correct. For example, if you look at the 3 Reactor models in the 480 to 512 GB category, then you will notice that each version has...
  37. Mushkin Enhanced Reactor - possible bait & switch

    Hiya Gang! Mushkin has both a 1TB version and a 960GB version of the Reactor ssd. Mushkin also has 250GB and 256GB version of the Reactor. They also have 500GB, 512GB, and 500GB LT versions. Each version has a different model number. The information is readily available at the Mushkin web site...
  38. What new SSDs are using MLC NAND? (particularly the 2.5" form factor)

    Another update - Warranty and Endurance information has been added to the ssd database. In addition, I identified a few more ssd's that use MLC flash memory. Models that are no longer in production have been deleted.. The deleted models were released between 2011 and 3013 during the early days...
  39. DisplayPort or HDMI for GTX 1070?

    I did a little more research. I discovered that some monitors require use of a DisplayPort to get a refresh rate of 60Hz. If HDMI is used, then the refresh rate is 50Hz. Turns out my Benq 3201PH is like that. I do not know if that is true for all monitors. I am using DisplayPort with the...
  40. DisplayPort or HDMI for GTX 1070?

    I purchased an MSI GTX 1070 Quicksilver graphics card for my case mod project. The card and my BenQ 32 inch monitor both have DisplayPort and HDMI ports. Is there a preference for one over the other? I've tried both but my eyes can't discern any difference on screen.
