A friend of mine is setting up a gaming PC. His platform (MSI Mag X670E Tomahawk WiFi) supports four M.2 drives. The OS will definitely be on an M.2, of 2 TB capacity. He is also getting a few high-capacity HDDs (Seagate Barracuda, works on SATA3) to store stuff that isn't used much, like...

Here's the history. I have a homebrew DVR using three Seagate 1 TB 2.5" drives in a RAID5 configuration. On Friday the DVR sent me an email (sweet, huh?) telling me a drive had failed. I cleared the fault and in a second it faulted again. I rebooted - it never came back up and the drive was...

Hi, was wondering if anyone here at physicsforumns was familiar with ssd enclosures? Long story short, I have an Alienware M17 r5, use it for work . I have a son that plays games on it, but I do not want him to clutter my ssd with games. He filled up 2tb of games alone!!!! Anyhow, I was...

I'm a Master student in Physics and my professor for the thesis suggested to use an OS different than Windows, so I want to install a Linux distro in dual boot since I don't want to completely leave Win10 at the moment. I shall point out that I will be working in condensed matter physics (DMRG)...

Hello everyone, My pc is getting too full so I got an external SSD (1Tb). Would you suggest moving all the applications on the external SSD or keep them on the pc's hard disk? If so why? Or should I only move all the "data" to the external SSD? What is your recommendation? Thank you!

Hi PF! I am trying to boot Ubuntu 14 from an external SSD on a new macbook pro. I formatted a thumbdrive following these instructions. I then attempted to boot the SSD following these instructions. In part 2, step 5 of the latter link, after selecting EFI Boot, I am prompted with "A software...

Hi PF! Can I boot Ubuntu from a portable SSD on a computer, say a laptop? If I run ubuntu from a portable SSD plugged into a usb drive, will it run slow? We have this old computer in my lab, but it's Windows and runs Ubuntu from a VM, so super slow and awful memory. Or should I just buy another...

Can I use a brand new removed SSD HardDisk to store data without doing any thing at the beginning time(e.g without formating or other things)?I will use SSD to store ebooks(PDF,Djvu,epub,Audio files). Can I open books when I attach the removed SSD to laptop?

in ASTM C127 Aggregate test , why the weight of SSD is higher than water submerged weight?

1. Which memory storage is better if I want the memory to be durable? Like when I drop it or hit it and still have the least chance of corrupting its memory. 2. Which memory is better if I want to store it for centuries without rewriting the memory and then be able to access the memory without...

I am still in high school but my curiosity is not stopping me from posting in this forum. How is data stored in SSD? How does it differ from the old HDD? I heard that atoms are used to store data. How? Binary consists of 0 and 1. How does someone use an atom to represent 0 and 1? Does positive...

Hi guys, I was just wondering if any macbook pro owners have successfully converted the optical drive into an area to hold an SSD. I am planning on keeping my current HDD and adding the SSD. Please let me know how it went and how much it affected the performance. (2012 MacbookPro non-retina)...

I'm putting together a new high-performance gaming rig and wanted to ask someone here if they could recommend a fast SATA III low-capacity solid state drive to install Windows 8 on. Boot times should be dramatically faster compared to an HDD.

Does anyone have any experience with replacing a laptops hard drive with a solid state drive? I want to buy a cheap little laptop, an Acer, but also buy a solid state drive and immediately swap out the mechanical drive for a solid state drive. Does anyone know if this is typically possible...
