    USB4 is 40Gbps or about 3GBps real world. Its the same as TB3 and TB4. You want TB5 (80Gbps), but that’s not out until next year.

    You should read them through because everything is clearly stated. Windows already does a TRIM every week for SSDs and monthly defrag and reTRIM as per its default behavior. It is written in the links newmaxx and I provided you. I am simply providing the correct information to future readers, not opinions.
  3. SSD Sean
    Where's your source that states TRIM once a week is too often? I never heard such and been testing drives for over a decade now. These are the sources newmaxx linked you earlier and you glanced over. https://windowsarea.de/2020/12/windows-defragmentiert-ssds-monatlich-im-hintergrund https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/defrag

    Did you configure the slot for M.2 SATA SSDs so that it works correctly with them? Or did you leave the default setting which is normally for M.2 PCIe NVMe SSDs? Probably what your issue is or maybe a UEFI update is needed or the drive just isn’t good and you need another.

    You need to enable write caching in disk/device management. Windows disables it by default and that’s why you get poor write speed. It’s safer for the data during a power-loss event, which is why they changed the setting. Newer drives are shipping with chipsets that force write caching enabled by default now because of this.

    Read errors…media is failing. You RMA and they send you a replacement…no retuning it to you. Not for this. Lol. You’re just way overthinking it. The drive is failing - backup as much as you can, RMA, and move on.

    The T7 and T7 Touch are the same dimensions…the next gen one is larger…but I can’t say anymore than that. Lol
  8. SSD Sean
    Errors on read is a failed drive or the data is/was corrupt. Does the issue happen on another storage media with the same files? I’d RMA it.
  9. SSD Sean
    Yeah, I recommend it. It’s a nice drive. They are now shipping with 176L TLC, boosting performance over the original batches that had 96L.

    Cultist network has bad data. The mobo /PCIe lane allocation was limiting the performance of that sample.
  11. SSD Sean
    Sabrent’s enclosures are pretty reliable in that regard. What specific drive?
  12. SSD Sean
    Don’t get a DRAM-less SATA SSD. They are garbage…you can also take my word for it as I’m a world leading SSD reviewer.
  13. SSD Sean
    Elaborate? Because I review SSDs and don’t see how this is an issue. I’ve used the 980 Pro with every firmware variant on 5 test platforms with and without ASPM. OPs issue is simple. CPU lane speed and width allocation. Mobos are dumb. You can’t force how many lanes will get allocated to your x4 devices, you can only change speeds. Clear CMOS is the way to fix it as OP described.

    SLC caching and HMB are two different things entirely.
  15. SSD Sean
    What does “locked” refer to? Got screenshots?
  16. SSD Sean
    Looks like you may be getting windows updates causing BSODs, not necessarily the SSD. I’d first ensure all windows updates are installed and that the OS is intact. sfc /scannow chkdsk DISM repair etc. Make sure the SSD firmware and motherboard UEFI is up to date, too.
  17. SSD Sean
    That’s because the internal storage is slow at writing compared to the SN850. Not all SSDs are equal…
  18. SSD Sean
    I have both. I am wrapping up on my review of the Fury Renegade today. They have the same hardware + firmware and perform the same, but the Fury Renegade has more factory over-provisioning and higher endurance ratings.
  19. SSD Sean
    How to know if a drive is good for creative workloads? - sustained write performance/cache recovery is better than others. As per my testing Corsair MP600 Pro XT and Seagate FireCuda 530 are the best picks. KC3000/Fury Renegade are better gaming drives, but still keep up well. Followed by Samsung 980 Pro and WD Black SN850.
  20. SSD Sean
    Intel DC P5800X or Kingston Fury Renegade
  21. SSD Sean
    Did you update to the latest firmware?
  22. SSD Sean
    You’re speeds look fine, userbenchmark is worthless. Enabling RAID (Intel RST) vs AHCI = the same performance. It doesn’t matter. One just allows you to set up firmware RAID while the other doesn’t.
  23. SSD Sean
    WD Blue SN570
  24. SSD Sean
    I’d just use them as separate volumes…or use DrivePool

    The Mushkin Delta is a E16+BiCS4 TLC combo that works well… faster than SATA by far. Unless you need the form factor, I’d get the Mushkin over the Samsung.
