    I guess the problem with long threads is that the original thoughts get a little lost. I am a video editor. My particular 32-bit software will not run on Windows 10. To switch to Windows 10 would have been free for me actually, but it would have meant new video editing software and a new...

    Aomei Backupper Professional allows you to add any device drivers you like when you create bootable media from their program. I did that (adding the MS NVM storage controller driver) and when you boot from it it still doesn't see the NVMe despite what the BIOS sees. I also tried adding every...

    Good to know Intel has a driver. As I explained in my first post, my Video Editing Software won't work in Windows 10 so for me I would have to buy a newer version of the software, build a new computer, install Windows 10, and not see a return on investment. My video editing business is not...

    What I read (from some Amazon customers) was that cloning failed with some of these drives because it uses (or used) 4k byte sectors and has no 512 byte emulation (512e). Then I read that they fixed it on newer ones, but they still provide the utility to convert it if you need it. Without the...

    Doesn't look like it is throttling. There is little or no activity on the C drive. The NVME drive is the only one that looks active with an average around 60% of the way up from 0, and peaks near but not quite reaching the top (Queue Length of .01) CPU usage is at 100% for all four cores...

    Maybe an MLC would have been better for video editing, but then again yesterday nothing worked in W7 at all so I don't want to sound spoiled. I've shaved nearly an hour off of a 2.5 hour rendering time. That's nothing to scoff at. Forgot about Resource Monitor. Haven't used that since...

    Is there a utility to monitor throttling if it occurs from heat? UPDATE: Estimated rendering time just fell to one and a half hours. It is rendering at 75% of real time. So far so good.

    Estimated rendering time is around two and a half hours. Same as with the SSD OS drive to the hard drive last week Maybe it will increase. Four cores may be a limitation. I'll experiment and if I get brave I'll clone my SSD OS drive to the NVMe and try it the other way around. John

    CrystalDisk INFO. Ok. The drive does NOT show up in that program. The other drives show up, but not that one even if I rescan. If I plug the adapter card into a X8 GPU slot the manual says the X16 slot where the video card is will be halved.
