So I just bought a new Samsung 850 EVO 500GB over the weekend and I've forgotten the steps, if any, I should do before I use Samsung's Data Migration tool to transfer my OS over from my 120GB SSD. Anyone able to give me a quick rundown? Thanks.

I think I have a problem. I'm going to putting together my new pc soon and I currently plan to put my new Samsung 850 EVO 500gb (currently being used as my OS boot drive in my pc) into the new one and my old Samsung 840 EVO 120gb back into my old pc. The problem I think I have is that I never did the secure erase after using the Samsung Data Migration tool when I initially swapped out my 840 for the 850, and just now when I tried to do a secure erase for the old content on my 840 it did not work because the 840 doesn't appear. I'm using a SATA USB cable exactly like what I originally did with doing the Data Migration in the first place. So my question is: is it possible for me to say do the Data Migration again but this time from the 850 EVO to the 840 EVO without having gotten rid of the data on the 840 EVO first? If not then how do i got about returning the 840 EVO to factory condition? Seeing that it does not appear in the Samsung Magician software for me to use secure erase.

Anime Schoolgirl posted:gonna have to wait until manufacturers other than intel (which surprised me) start the race to the bottom on nvme Yeah, I was suprised how good of a price the 256gb 600p was and just had to grab it for my new build, as my boot drive. I do however want a better quality NVME for my games and other stuff. Currently using my 850 EVO 500gb for games only. HGST Deskstar 4TB for media and whatever random stuff.

Anime Schoolgirl posted:the reason it's happening is pretty funny: everyone transitioning fabs to 3d nand and it taking longer than usual causing a shortage of supply since there are fewer fabs active so does that mean there will be a massive price drop once they start cranking out 3d nand from the new fabs?

BobHoward posted:You know those oversized RAM heatsinks you see on popular overclocker memory? Same deal. Actually heats the memory up a bit compared to no heatsink at all. Turns out that filling all the space between DIMMs with metal (blocking all possibility of airflow, either forced or convection) is not good, even if there are fins sticking out the top. i've seen some posts through google of people sticking on aftermarket heatsinks on m.2 NVME's, apparently those work pretty well.

SlayVus posted:So I think Intel Optane memory won't work in boards unless they specifically have a 22110 M.2 slot. All Z270 boards that are Intel Optane ready have at least 1 22110 M.2 slot and usually include a second 2280 M.2. Is Intel Optane memory automatically enabled if I built my pc with an Intel 600p boot drive? I still don't exactly know what the heck it is or how to enable it or if it is enabled or whatever. The website for my board does say it has Intel Optane memory. https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/TUF-Z270-MARK-2/ Agrajag fucked around with this message at 17:59 on Feb 4, 2017 |

BIG HEADLINE posted:People who buys ASRock's ~Supercarrier~ flagship board might be pissed, then - it has three M.2 slots, but all are 2280 only. Ok, someone please explain wth is the point of this if it doesn't even work in Win10? I have to assume most anyone building a new pc is going to be using Windows 10 in 2017. http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Z270%20SuperCarrier/index.asp quote:Dual Intel® LAN

Is the WD Black SN850X 2TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe M.2 2280 a good buy at $159.99 CAD sale price down from $379.99?

What SATA SSD or M.2 NVME would be a good $/GB for mass storage in the 4TB range? I guess the use case is I like downloading a lot of  and transferring to external HDD's

Instant Grat posted:Is there a reason you need SSD storage specifically? 4TB is about the region where HDDs start to be massively cheaper than SSDs. I can only speak for prices here in Denmark, but a cursory glance shows even the cheapest 4TB SSD (a SATA-based Samsung QLC drive) being over twice as expensive as an equally capacitous HDD, internal or external. Oh, nvm then, I kind of assumed since 1TB and 2TB have come down so much in prices lately that 4TB would be the same.

If I use all the M.2 NVME slots in this board does it disable SATA or something like that? ASUS TUF Gaming Z790-Plus WiFi LGA 1700 https://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=26_1842&item_id=233686 I really really like the idea of using all NVME but also want the option to still use SATA for extra storage, if needed, down the road.

I gotta say I'm a huuuge fan of only using NVME drives after finishing building my pc with 3 NVME's. Not having to deal with SATA cables and the SATA power cables is sooo awesome. I just need to hunt down a decently priced/reliable 4TB NVME for mass storage since apparently Canada has a serious lack of options for 4TB NVME drives.
