I'm curious what the purpose of these M.2 SSDs that just use the SATA protocol are. Why would anyone ever want one of these over a regular SATA drive, or a NVME m.2 SSD?
So the anti static wrist bands are just snake oil?Silly myth. For decades that fairy tale has been told, yet I've never had an issue and I always use heavily magnetized screwdrivers. I ain't fishing out no screw that falls in an area where I can't reach unless I turn the case upside down or on its side........NO! I'm getting my magnetized screwdriver, it pulls right out with the screw on the tip.
They are, but for the price? I guess they'll never be popular, $170 for 512GB drive is too expensive. I ordered the ASUS ROG USB 3.2 enclosure and I'll pair it with an MP510 960GB (from Corsair) and see if I get even faster R/W speeds. I got lots of reasons to purposely use SATAIII drives and in enclosures as well as spare drives in my PC.
I gotta separate important files and programs, photos and videos and pr0n.
BTW, a USB 3.1 Gen2 drive can do up to 950Mb/s R/W AND my SATAIII does 450MB/s, so fast enough. Although for the ASUS ROG enclosure I ordered, it's because I got no use for the NVMe 960GB in my PC (I got a 500GB coming), otherwise, it'd disable more SATA ports which I need.
Consider your own thread. This thread isn’t a support thread for your situation.I have this kind of issue with my A-data S40g 4TB nvme. Drive is recognized by windows and bios works fine. But the A-data SSD toolbox and firmware upgrade errors with no sata device found. This ia a TUFF Dash F15 laptop with 4th gen PCI express.. If I put the S40g in a laptop with both an Nvme and sata port software works fine. TUFF Dash has only 2 NVme slots no sata. I did not see any BIOs setting for any legacy support... anyway to fix this or just hope A-data updates their stuff? Maybe a way to install sata protocol?
Why? it relates directly to this topic use of sata to run software in an Nvme only laptop...Consider your own thread. This thread isn’t a support thread for your situation.
That depends, if you're just using a rubber bracelet like that Verge video, then that isn't doing a damn thing. However, if you have a strap and a ground point to connect it to, then you are draining any charge from you and keeping it away from your electronics. Most consumer electronics should be able to be good without it, but if you're concerned, then it doesn't hurt.So the anti static wrist bands are just snake oil?

I been building computers for over 20 years and haven't used a antistic band since my very early days. I have never had any issues with static damage.That depends, if you're just using a rubber bracelet like that Verge video, then that isn't doing a damn thing.

One time when I was upgrading the RAM on a computer for my employer, a spark shot out of my finger and went into the northbridge of the PC, killing the motherboard instantly. Has anyone else had something like this happen to them?

I haven't used one either while building computers, but if it makes someone more comfortable doing so, it doesn't hurt anything to use a properly grounded strap. Just don't think putting a rubber bracelet like the Verge video on your arm is going to do any good, there aren't any wireless ground straps that I'm aware of.I've never used one, and my first real job at 16 was working for a local computer repair shop. HOWEVER, I have always grounded myself before touching anything with a PCB. It's as automatic as breathing for me.
