  1. If only my desktop is complete i would have zero issue with trimming but with current GPU shortage im out of luck for now, i can use my friends PC to trim or maybe i could try building my own windows PE iso, put it on a usb stick and put ssd that needs trimming into the laptop, boot windows PE and trim it that way Tbh, if i prices dont get better by the end of next month im getting a a GPU even if price is inflated, at this point i just want a normal working desktop
  2. HD sentinel has a lot if info including TBW, free version works fine enough to check data like that Btw, i just found some more info on how SSD controllers works and it looks like it is probably fine if i use it without TRIM for writing and reading just if i delete stuff then running TRIM is a good idea, looks like i can at least use it to transfer those files and maybe download something on it occasionally but i just have to remember to run TRIM if i delete some larger files Anyway, give HD sentinel a try, you can check a lot of stuff with it
  3. According to samsung website this 1TB model has 600TBW So my best bet would be to run trim after copying all the files and deleting them. one more thing, how for example downloading a torrent affects its life without trim considering torrent actually downloads file in chunks, idk if it would have any difference compared to just copying a big file. I dont intend to use this drive much at all on USB excpet for this big trasnfer and maybe extremly occasionally downloading some bigger torrent, this is one of the SSDs that i borrowed from my desktop that i cant finish because im still missing a GPU.....
  4. Thanks, i can probably do that, btw, will leaving the file on the SSD for maybe one month before deleting harm anything, just in case it needs to be copied somewhere again
  5. Samsung magician shows it as unknown drive due to cheap USB SATA interface, HD sentinel not only says that this drive supports trim but also that its enabled, hopefully temporarly using it using USB adapter wont affects its life, i dont really inted on using it much on USB apart from this huge data transfer that i need to do.... I really hope SSD controller can do wear leveling by itself in case this USB SATA interface pervents OS from doing it properly.... Also, there is no OS on external drive unfortunatley
  6. So i have two samsung 860 EVO 1TB SSDs, one is inside a laptop and another is connected using SATA to USB adapter because i temporarly need to put approx 550-600GB of files onto it to transfer files to a friends pc (dont have any HDD left with enough space right now so this SSD is the only option) but the poblem i have is that windows is detecting it as HDD so im afraid that TRIM mit not be running and that putting that much files on to it is gonna wear it out quicker if TRIM wont run, interesting thing is that HD sentinel says that TRIM is supported and enabled. Does HD sentinel saying TRIM is enabled means that everything is fine and that i can keep transfering files onto it trough SATA to USB adapter or do i risk uneven wear of NAND chips. Does this SSD have some sort of internal wear leveling in case TRIM does not properly work in the OS? As you can see in following screenshot C drive shows as SSD here and allows to run TRIM but the D drive connected using SATA to USB adapter is shown as a HDD and only allows defragmenting, for now i have disabled auto defragmenting just in case. Here is the screenshot of HD sentinel where it says TRIM is supported and enabled for the D drive connected to USB. Another screenshot from HD sentinel that says TRIM is working even though windows is seeing drive as HDD instade of SSD. Which one to trust, windows saying its HDD or HD sentinel saying TRIM is enabled, is it then safe to keep transfering files to it using usb adapter? The adapter i am using is a simple cheap one similar to this
  7. I solved the issue already but forgot to post the update I just needed to pry the thing and it came off.... I feel stupid now.....
  8. Hi, i have asus xg27vq monitors (3 of them) and i want to change projection less that projects logo onto the desk but the damn lens cover is impossible to remove, i had no trouble getting it on to the stand but cant for the life of me figure out how to remove damn thing Being unable to remove that part also makes it impossible to unscrew thumb screw to remove the stand legs if i ever want to put the monitor back in the box Does anyone know how to remove that part?
  9. GPUs are custim loop because i have no other option, GPUs with AIO usually dont look as good plus i perfer one big radiator for GPUs rather than each gpu having its own I am not yet 100% comroftable doing custom loops so thats whyy i choose AIO for CPU and custom for GPUs, to minimze work i have to do with custom loop For now i will do soft tubing on GPUs cause its my first time doing custom loop and once i feel more confident in doing full custom waterloops i will then maybe one day switch to full system custom loop with hard tubing
  10. Thanks everyone for help and suggestions, i will do some more reasearch on those cases and hopefully decide which case i like the most in a day or two I will let you know when i make final decision Thanks again for help
  11. I agree, #1 really looks good, it is on a more expensive side but it really is a good option, the only thing i dont like about #1 is that it seems like it does not have PSu basement closed off of rest of the system but its not that big of a deal and i really like how it looks nice and simple on the front, i personally also like #5 (enthoo 719) but one thing i dont like about that one isthe PSU "basement" being mounted vertically I think choosing which case to ger will be tough decision for me lol
  12. Are you sure thats full tower, it says mid tower on most websites But tbh looks good, i will put it on my list as one of the options
  13. I really like big cases I will check out PC-O11 Dynamic XL in a few minutes
  14. At first i was looking at corsair obsidian 1000D but now looking at it again it looks like there might be a lot of empty space and that might not look good but im not 100% sure Here are some cases i am looking at right now, most of them i found things i like and some i dont like https://www.caseking.de/en/lian-li-pc-v3000wx-big-tower-schwarz-tempered-glass-geli-802.html https://www.caseking.de/en/phanteks-enthoo-primo-big-tower-weisse-led-weiss-geph-002.html https://www.caseking.de/en/thermaltake-view-71-tg-snow-big-tower-tempered-glass-weiss-gexa-276.html https://www.caseking.de/en/phanteks-enthoo-elite-big-tower-schwarz-window-geph-063.html (this one is way out of my price range but thats kinda something i really like how it looks) https://www.caseking.de/en/phanteks-enthoo-719-full-tower-tempered-glass-drgb-black-geph-109.html https://www.caseking.de/en/corsair-obsidian-1000d-big-tower-tempered-glass-schwarz-gecs-089.html on most cases i dont like the fact that PSU basement is sideways or psu mounts sideways instade of horiznotally like in most cases
