I've been looking for an external SSD to be able to edit on my desktop and on my laptop. I thought that if there were a problem, it would be with the controller on the enclosure rather than the SSD itself. I daily drive an Intel 660p which has a similar technology and I haven't had any problems with it. I also used a very cheap DRAMless 120GB SSD to edit videos, and that was fine too. To be fair I don't need the fingerprint reader, but my girlfriend got this for me so I can't complain.

I got a Samsung T7 Touch SSD as a gift, and I was planning on using it for video editing. I have two systems. One desktop with a Ryzen 7 3800X, and an Aorus Master X570; and a laptop with Ryzen 4700U (Dell Inspiron 7405) It's connected to a USB 10Gbps Type-A port on the desktop, and to a USB-C 5Gbps port on the laptop. It works perfectly fine when copy/pasting files, or in playback. The problem is when you want to edit videos. When I'm editing in Premiere, the drive simply disconnects from the computer and reconnects. It normally asks me to type my password (or fingerprint, to decrypt the drive), but not when it disconnects like this. It also does this when I convert a video in Handbrake. It does this on my desktop less often than it does on my laptop. I tried reformatting the drive (to be fair, I knew this wouldn't work but the "tech support person" at Amazon told me to try it anyway), I used different cables (it comes with 2 cables in the box, but I had some 10Gbps USB-C cables lying around and I tried them as well) and I even reinstalled Windows on the laptop. On software level, I disabled USB power management and "allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" for the USB Root Hubs, and they didn't help. It seems like it's a problem with the drive (quite obvious) but I was wondering maybe it's an AMD-specific issue. I am going to return this drive anyways, but I am just asking for suggestions; because if I can find a way to get this to work, I will re-order the same drive. Thanks in advance! :)

I'm wondering what would happen if they had 2x4GB RAM (in dual channel) instead of the GT210 for the cheap setup. Wouldn't it perform better and cost less?

There could be a rant video about how manufacturers aren't coming up with a lot of AMD-based computers, and even when they do, they're usually behind other computers in specs. 2-in-1 Inspirons for example. Almost all Inspirons can be had with a larger battery and/or more RAM while the AMD based ones only come with 8GB single channel RAM and the smaller battery.

2 monitors are better than one IMO, I wouldn't get one monitor. I would also go for 1440p, I tried a 27" 4K monitor but I switched back to my 32" 1440p. But to be fair there is not much of a reason to go above 1080p if you're only going to do basic tasks.

Your CPU is decent but with that GPU I doubt you'll be able to get ~60fps on 1440p let alone 4K in games. Again, this is assuming you want them for gaming (because it's not specified) I am running to 32" screens, one 1080p and one 1440p. I like 1440p but if you have the budget for 2 4K monitors, go for it. But also consider upgrading your GPU?

What are the specs of your computer? What are you planning on using the monitors for?

This video IMO is ultimately against what Linus has been defending, but I understand why he did this. Neither AMD nor Intel is our friend. At the end of the day, you're giving them your money, so get the best one you can for the money/for your needs. AMD is desperately trying to gain more market share (so more money, more RnD budget etc etc) so their CPUs are cheaper than Intel counterparts, and they perform well. I am personally leaned towards AMD right now just so that if they gain some more market share we'll see a better competition. IMO the i9-9900K (or the i9-10900K) shouldn't be more expensive than a 3900X, but it is. Competition is great for customers. Thanks to AMD, now all i3-i5-i7s have hyperthreading. I think this video is a result of a "don't forget me" call from Intel. I am not saying he got paid by Intel, but as he said in the video, Intel is really big. LTT wouldn't want to lose sponsorships or early access to products from Intel. Linus called Intel the premium CPU option, which pretty much means that even if it performs worse than an AMD CPU and costs more, people will buy it. And it might be true for now, but everything can change in a couple of years. This also holds for RnD, and ironing out the bugs. One last thing (hearing this from Linus made me somewhat annoyed), lack of prebuilts with AMD. Intel (also Nvidia, but not our topic) is/was lowkey forcing manufacturers not to use AMD in their builds often by giving manufacturers exclusive discounts for only using Intel. (AMD v Intel Lawsuit) Intel is big, and they're not going to go bankrupt anytime soon, and their 10th gen processors seem to be doing good. AMD has a solid product line right now, and hopefully they won't fall behind again.

I can get it for around $400 Canadian, which is cheaper than a 3700X. I am not happy with the performance, but my CPU is throttling so I am unsure how much more performance I can get with better cooling.

I currently have a Ryzen 2600, ASRock X470 Master SLI/ac, 2x16GB 3000Mhz RAM and a 1660. I have a 650W PSU, and I mainly use it for Premiere Pro, and some Cities: Skylines. I am currently using the stock cooler, and the CPU instantly hits 94.5C under load, and throttles slightly below 3.4Ghz under sustained load. I know that I have mainly two options: Upgrade my CPU or get a cooler. I don't want to get a liquid CPU cooler, so I am thinking Noctua nh-d15. I can get a very good deal on 3800X, so I won't think about getting a 3700X instead. However, I am not entirely happy with the performance in Premiere (I mainly work with 4K videos for work + my side YouTube gig) and I was wondering maybe I should upgrade to a 3rd gen Ryzen. I checked the motherboard guide, and I see that my mobo will work with a maxed out 3800X. I can also get a good deal on Aorus X570 Ultra. I am very conflicted at the moment. Do I upgrade just the CPU, CPU/mobo or just the cooler? PS: I will get a cooler if I decide to upgrade, too.

I'm honestly okay with the 200GE and the 2200G PC (although you could get something without integrated graphics) except 4GBs of RAM in the cheapest one -- 8GB is the bare minimum and I don't think anyone would get a PC with 4GB RAM (especially if you're using the integrated graphics) No FPS comparison charts? No benchmarks? A rather small thing but you didn't use the Wraith Stealth cooler that comes with R5 2600, you didn't even use the one that comes with R5 2600X. A footer about this wouldn't hurt. Also on a separate note why would you pair a 2200G with an RX580? And at least specify whether it's 4GB or 8GB. Honestly I would just repurpose the existing footage for a new video (maybe a detailed Ryzen 2000 vs. Ryzen 3000 comparison?) instead of publishing it. I would talk more about small details like the ones above but it's pointless as we have Ryzen 3000 now.

This worked to a certain degree. Then I connected the speakers to the monitor through the 2nd audio in jack on the volume knob, the static is completely gone. Thanks a lot!

Last week! I picked it up new last Sunday and I started hearing the static a couple of days ago. I thought the 3.5mm audio jack (in) on the woofer was causing it, so I plugged the audio jack to the 2nd input port on the volume control knob. Still the same. Oh, I'll try this, it actually makes perfect sense as I use a 6-plug outlet from Dollarama to plug everything in! Thanks a lot!

Hi, I recently built a PC and got Edifier M3200 speakers. I connected it to my PC through 3.5mm connector, and it was fine at first. A couple of days in, I started hearing radio static, it's actually a radio station (I can even hear the songs lol) It happens more or less all the time, and it's there as long as the 3.5mm connector is plugged in to the subwoofer/computer (if I plug it out from either side, it disappears) It's not the cable, as I tried it with another cable and the noise is still there. I also plugged the cable to monitor audio-out (through HDMI) The noise is still there even if I plug my headphones in (through the speakers) Has anyone ever experienced something similar? PS: I would change the speaker cables, but they go directly in the speakers so I can't take them out.
