  1. I need the 1TB to use it with an external enclosure, it's cheaper than buying an external ssd like the t5, which costs the same price for 500GB as a 1TB internal ssd + $15 adapter. And usb sticks are bad, just poor perf and longevity, at least in my use case, which includes using windows-to-go, and usb sticks having really bad 4k speeds (even the famously fast sandisk extreme pro), windows is nearly unusable on them, and the stick overheats and dies eventually The nvme ssd i dont need, its just i'd like to replace my system ssd which is sata and 256GB and old (poor 4k and sustained perf for today's ssd standards). I guess i'll buy the dirt cheap sata ssd for my external ssd and i'll wait until i actually need an nvme drive or when the price is below 200 for 1TB nvme tlc
  2. I wanna buy a 1TB sata ssd and a 1TB nvme one. Its currently on sales where i am, for $150 and $270 respectively. These are really low prices as you know. I paid $150 for my 256GB ssd back in 2013. And its the first time for both sata and nvme drives to be that cheap. But we all know that there have been 2 major changes in the nand industry. Price fixing has been found and undone, and nand shortage is reversing. So it is anticipated that nand prices in 2019 will drop even more. So I'm wondering whether i should buy now or wait. Remember, it's currently on sales, so it might be the same price right now as the normal price from 6 months in the future.But the sales only last a week. I really don't want to buy now and find 6 months later that a 1TB nvme ssd is the price of a 1TB sata ssd today. So what price do you think the nand will reach this year, will it be to the point where 1TB sata will cost under 100, near HDD price, and 1TB nvme will cost $200?
  3. MLC means the ssd will live longer, but is more expensive than a TLC one, whose lifespan is shorter. NVMe means the ssd is very fast, but is more expensive than a Sata one, whose max speeds are 500MBps vs 3500MBps for NVMe MLC and NVMe are not related between each other. They are unrelated specs of an ssd: You can have a 1TB M.2 MLC NVMe ssd or a 1TB M.2 TLC NVMe ssd or a 1TB 2.5" MLC Sata ssd or a 1TB 2.5" TLC Sata ssd MLC is more expensive than TLC because there is physically more electronics (cells) NVMe is more expensive than Sata because it is a newer and faster protocol and requires more complex ssd controllers which must be faster as well. Bonus: Always buy samsung ssds. If you check real benchmarks, you find that all the other brands have the same read write speeds as samsung, but susread suswrite susmix (sustained) seqmixed (reading + writing same time) and 4krandommixed are terrible. And 4kmixed being, small files being read and written at the same time, which is by far the biggest % of ssd usage by windows, chrome, and any programs, 4kmixed is the most important and you want your ssd to be fast at this
  4. I made some settings with the panel and it seems that the fan is less loud than before (it's still louder when pc is plugged in than when it's not). So that's an improvement, thanks for the advice And yeah I've gotta be good at english, since I've been studying it for years and since it's one of my passions (btw I think it's "I wish i were as good" but I know it's a formal way to say it and it's no longer in use lol let's not make linustechtips.com a linguinstic forum). Good day to you sir xp
  5. Nope, I deleted the high performance profile. The "normal performance" profile is used all the time, plugged in or not. And as I said in the post, in this mode, I went in the advanced options and set all parameters the same way for when it's plugged in or not. So idk.. I did that a while ago and the problem has always been there.
  6. Hello, I own an MSI GE60 2PE, with Windows 8.1 x64 installed (with an actual legitimate license, I bought a CD). It has an i7-4720HQ, 8GB (2x4) of DDR3 RAM at 1600Mhz, Nvidia gtx 860m graphics card and Intel HD graphics 4600 integrated graphics. It only has an SSD. Motherboard MSI MS-16GF (version REV:0.B). Bios AMI version E16GFIMS.526. All the drivers are up to date as far as I could check. Now the problem: when not plugged in, the fan of my laptop is almost silent, on idle. As soon as it's plugged in, the laptop becomes loud, the fan gets increasingly faster, up to almost its maximum speed, or close. It's always been like that (I own the laptop for a bit more than a year now, and use it only on holidays). I didn't care at the beginning, and didn't even notice, but now it actually bothers me. I checked the components temperatures with Speccy, and when the laptopt isn't plugged, the CPU is at 48° in idle. The rest doesn't matter, since it doesn't change either way. When the laptop is plugged in, the CPU quickly gets to 60+ degrees, up to 70 (still on idle) Now to identify the problem more easily and reduce the amount of reasons why this happens, I'll add that I changed the settings in control panel, power options. I set it to the same whether the laptop is plugged in or not. Nothing changed. Now I don't know what else it can be, so I ask for your help. I added two screenshots of the cpu tab of the task manager, and we can clearly see that in idle, the cpu is between 8 and 10% usage when pc isn't plugged in. As soon as it's plugged in, cpu gets to 20%+ usage. It actually runs less threads when it IS plugged in than when it isn't (20 more, tried twice). Ask for anything if you need other info, I can't think of anything else to add. Just some random things that I don't know if they'll help but just in case: 1. I do not have an antivirus of any kind. I disabled windows' firewall and windows Defender. 2. There isn no program shown to start up with windows in the task manager, except for an audio driver, and nvidia configuration panel (see 5.) 3. There is no peripheral device plugged in on the laptop, except a mouse. 4. Windows is up to date: windows update doesn't show any update available, except for a few secondary ones. 5. There is no program running in the background, except a mouse driver thingy, and Nvidia configuration panel. In this panel, I set the graphics card to be used all the time over the cpu integrated graphics, whether or not the laptop is plugged in. Thanks for any attempt to help And sorry English isn't my native language, tried my best not to make any grammar mistake.
