Hi all, Ok, I got an ASUS FX705M laptop from amazon ( https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07HH5XR8K/ ) , seemed fairly decent, however my NVMe Western Digital SSD that came pre-installed performs very poorly with HD Tune (and Pro) benchmark getting 150Mb/s with odd slow and fast spikes accompanied by a high pitched squealing sound (quite quiet, but noticeable in a quiet room) later on in the bench mark (attached) the drive sped up to about 400Mb/s with regular dips back to 100/150Mb/s but the slow down were exactly in sync with the high pitched whining sound (think psu bad cap and/or switchmode low frequency noise). Has anyone out there got one of these laptops and can perform the short stroke 40 gig SSD benchmark with HD Tune (free here https://www.hdtune.com/files/hdtunepro_570_trial.exe ) I have also included the standard disk bench to compair and it seems to show decent results, confused? yes I am. Thanks in advance for anyone who can test this on their system. Foxa

if you wish tro have a play , get https://sourceforge.net/projects/imdisk-toolkit/ (needed) and https://github.com/prsyahmi/GpuRamDrive/releases nothing ground breaking but this is a 10+ year old laptop and thats better than my SATA SSD thats at about 575 read and 500 write

Well, I just made my gpu ram into a ramdisk using a few tools from github and ran an entire VM from it and its lightning quick. I think you guys talked yourself out of a good thing here, especially temp storage and the shortening lifetime of ever more dense SSD.

Sleep is typically 1-2 seconds at most on my systems, but that aside, it looks like your pc is failing to suspend-to-ram and is instead hibernating, is your HD light on for an extended period at shutdown/wakeup ? if so then you are loading a hibernation snap shot and not simply waking from sleep.

Ok, well as a starting point it would seem fairly easy to use some of the gigabytes of unused video ram as at least a high speed swap file location.

Hello, I have a query I hope someone knows the answer too, My graphics card has lots of lovely ram on it that I don't use much of while I am using... say a spreadsheet. I want to steal the video ram and have it as extra system ram Not physically, I just mean some kind of funky do-dad cuda code that says "Hi windows, hears some more ram for you to use" Can it be done?
