Mr.Humble

The A400 doesn't go over 350MB/s sequential. Kingston UV500, Crucial BX500 and MX500, Seagate and WD SSDs are much better and comparably priced.

What if I get this icon while hot-swap is disabled? Is there a Windows setting for this?

Those are sequential numbers which play very little role in system load times. Random performance of NVMe SSDs is often only slightly better than of SATA SSDs. No problem! Hopefully you'll be happy with your new SSD when you get it

It can be done using specialized software such as Paragon Disk Manager, but most likely you won't notice an improvement. I'd suggest you uninstall unused programs or clean install Windows on your current SSD. If you have Microsoft account associated with your device the license will transfer upon login. Otherwise you just activate it with the old license key.

Slightly - there's roughly 200 points difference between offset and stock in Cinebench R20, but that's a worst case scenario when system startup isn't complete before the test. Gaming-wise I can't tell ? Curiously it would seem that the chip doesn't much care about the offset either - I had -0.05V offset initially, and the Vcore under load was 1.288-1.3 - same as with -0.075 offset. It's possible that's due to PBO so I intend to investigate further. Pretty much consistent with my experience. Undervolting without PBO seems to be the way to go right now, plus CCX OC. Unfortunately I can't do the latter because it requires Ryzen Master. BTW der8auer posted a video asking Ryzen 3000 owners to test maximum boost clocks, so Czech it out and provide him with some real world data if you're so inclined

I enabled PBO but frankly it doesn't seem to do much. I also applied a negative 0.075V offset on Vcore to get temperatures lower. Can't tinker around Ryzen Master because of the stupid virtualization-based security conflict

Dohvahkiin, dovahkiin...

Yup.

I never understand why people suggest using Rufus when there's a first party option...

SSD is great for OS, games, programs, and frequently used data or workloads benefiting from fast load times - photo and video editing, databases etc. HDDs are great for storage of large volumes of data that isn't accessed as often - finished projects, media files, backups etc. They're also great for NAS setups and generally everywhere where you need large capacity. These days HDDs only really make sense when you're buying 3TB+ capacity drives, as 1TB SSDs, even NVMe ones, are ridiculously cheap right now.

this young padawan still has much to learn

OMG why didn't I think of that! I always need to find the list at the worst moment...

Approach PC distributors and system integrators in your region and ask for bulk quotes. You can try retailers but they'll probably give you worse deals. Compare quotes to standard online pricing, then go with cheapest but best warranty and tech support. Try lowering the price by offering free promotions to the contract winner at school for some period of time.

Or you need to get your retailer to update it for you.

That's true regardless if it's contacts or glasses though.

Try inicializing the drive in computer management / drive management. It probably doesn't have a default partition on it.

What's your keyboard? My Corsair STRAFE needs to be put into BIOS mode by simultaneously pressing F1 and "lock Windows key", after that the scroll lock indicator starts flashing and the keyboard works in BIOS.

Get another computer and fold on it 24/7. Now the cat will sit on this computer

1) Try to train him by pushing him off 2) Fail spectacularly 3) put freshly ground pepper on the tower 4) have it fall through the mesh and rekt the computer 5) now your computer doesn't give off heat - problem solved

If you don't have > 1Gbit network you won't be able to take advantage of an all SSD configuration, but an SSD cache can be useful for RAID5 and 6 as the write speeds are significantly lower compared to individual hard drives - the NAS needs to calculate the parity bit (sector) on write. You could in theory just go with RAID5 of say 3 4TB NAS drives, giving total of 8TB usable capacity, and a 250-500GB SATA SSD. I've been Czeching out the QNAP NASes with expansion card slots some time back, before I deployed a Storage Spaces solution using an existing PC, because I too was intrigued by the possibility of M.2 SSDs and 10Gbit network card. But I don't have any experience using them and I don't know if you can configure SSD caching with an SSD in one of the hard drive bays. From reviews the QNAP boxes are pricey, but quality.
