Secure Erase solved the problem. A firmware update must have glitched controller.

After talking to Samsung they suggested a secure erase to reset the Nand controler. if the problem persists RMA. A firmware update could have bugged the controller which a reset should fix otherwise this is a Factory fault.

ya a swap out is the first thing I'm going to do.

Ok did you clone the MBR boot record from the old drive? just cloning the c partition is not good enough. That master record needs to be cloned also, it Still resides on the old SSD and It's being used to initialize the M.2. what you can do is USE "minitool partition wizzard" to copy that MBR partition to the new M.2. IF that partition is gone you are going to have to reinstall windows.

Ok i got a bunch of games stored on 990pro that is in my second m.2 slot. While playing these games I keep getting crashing, after the crash if I go to browse files on the drive and I can only access like 2 layers of subfolders then I get a device specified does not exist error. the problem does not go away until after reboot and i'm cut off from those files until then. the bios self-test, crystal disk mark, Samsung magician, all suggest that the drive is in proper working order. Is anyone else having this kind of problem is there an easy fix or is RMA necessary? is this more of that fricking firmware crap?

Bought an ASUS Vivobook m6501r, 6900hx and rtx 3070, and after 3 months i began to have memory artifacts in games. So I open the laptop and remove the heat sink and what do find? a bloody 2-and-a-half millimeter gap between the copper heatsink plate and 2 of the memory chips on the GPU side of the motherboard. Needless to say just like the GIGABYTE 3080 copper shimming is necessary. I had to use 2 2mm copper shims that I dremeled down to the proper size with 1mm pad squished between the shims and the memory chips, and MX-6 to paste the shim to the copper plate. GPU temps didn't change because the memory chips have no thermometer. but hot spot went from 100 to 95 deg. i guess that is the proper operating temperature. also, memory artifacts are gone.

The only way Thermo-electrical is going to work is if you use it as a stage in a normal loop. the problem is you are dealing with to many joules per second, the peltier is a huge bottle neck for transferring that kind of heat. for direct cpu cooling you would need a surface area probably the size of a dinner plate if not larger. But if you put a peltier block in the loop as a stage before the CPU block you will get a reduction in temps. this will probably not be supper efficient but im willing to bet that you will get a drop in CPU temp from a standard loop. You go from the CPU to the radiator, then you go from to the radiator to the pump, from the Pump to a Peltier cooled channel block then back into the CPU Block. So you have the CPU block and radiator doing their normal job, and the peltier block cooling the water below ambient temps before being injected into the CPU block. Another problem with video is that copper transfers heat well but it doesn't dissipate heat so well, its too dense. So cooling copper is going to have more resistance than heating. Aluminum on the other hand will transfer cold quickly, and water will cool exceeding fast. For your peltier block you use two peltiers sandwiching an aluminum plate with channels drilled parallel to the peltiers, (lots of small channels a few mm from the cooling plate). You cap the ends with etched acrylic to channel water to the drilled pipes, tap your fittings into the Ends of the acrylic. after that you use regular heat sink and fans clamped onto the hot sides of the peltier.

Been using Logitech mice for 15 years or so. Always liked the hardware, its been sturdy, motion smooth for my gaming style, the g600 has more buttons than i know what to do with. But G-hub software absolute crap, for no reason at all it decides it doesn't need to detect the presence of the mouse even though the OS sees it just fine, that happens way to often. Up dates generally brake any custom profiles you have might have created, and now the Installer doesn't even work which is problematic when you have to completely reinstall the software to fix the problem with soft detect. And mice aren't the only G-hub issue, apparently every piece of hardware that relies on g-hub to function has issues. I have always felt Logitech had their shit together as far hardware goes but G-hub is ruining what in my opinion an excellent gaming controller.
