    Anyone went strictly to SSDs only yet ?

    I'm using a 1tb ssd in my qnap box for cache shenanigans... not sure it makes much difference but i'll pretend it does heh.. I don't transfer many small files, as it's mostly a glorified plex server

    WTB: Nvidia Shield Pro

    I wonder what the determining factor is? Version of hulu installed? Version of the nvidia software running?

    Anyone went strictly to SSDs only yet ?

    On my main gaming machine I'm running a combination. 1x 1tb m2 drive 960 evo, 1x 8tb micron nvme u.3 drive, 1x 2tb 870 qvo, and a 2tb wd black spinner... the 2tb is the oldest drive in the rig and over time will eventually be replaced, but it's sitting at 92k hours powered on so i'm going to...

    2.5" SSD for gaming?

    So...after a few days of use(still in the 2.0 slot) the seat of the pants difference is insane... Load times are cut by significantly more than half. With WarThunder and BF2042 I would usually join games and they would already be starting on a new map load. Now I can join in and the game will...

    2.5" SSD for gaming?

    Crosshair 6 Hero, x370 chipset. It's in the bottom 2.0 x4 slot... I thought about trying to work it out to use the 3.0 slot next to the gpu but was afraid the heat soak would become a problem. might try it just for shits to see what it does, but i'm doing 10x the throughput and seat of the...

    2.5" SSD for gaming?

    Well...4 hours in and finally done. Everything has been swapped over, data integrity looks good. Now to the benches...The difference is outstanding just from a pure throughput perspective. I'll chime in later after I get a few rounds of gaming in! The old drive was a WD Black 2TB drive...

    2.5" SSD for gaming?

    Apparently FedEx hates me... The drive was supposed to be shipped 2 day from Brownsville and it disappeared in fort worth... I hate my life. Should've had it installed and running yesterday but noooo. At least the u.2 adapter card came in all but next day. It's sad when Amazon does that good...
