    (very) slow SSD write speed.

    Temp is 29C. It seems to start off writing at a fast speed, but only takes a couple of seconds to drop down.

    (very) slow SSD write speed.

    hmm, actually it seems I spoke too soon. The disk has quickly reverted to performing badly again. (13mb/s write) I'm attempting TRIM again, but it seems something is amiss.

    (very) slow SSD write speed.

    Thanks. I knew that the performance would deteriorate when they get near full, but I didn't realize it was so dramatic, and that they needed to have that much space available... With prices having come down, I finally bit the bullet and got a 2TB drive thinking it would speed up my photo...

    (very) slow SSD write speed.

    Thanks! I tried what you suggested. I deleted about 200GB from the drive and optimized, and it did indeed give me better results: So does that mean I have to keep the drive 40%- empty? In that case, a 2TB drive is practically more like a 1.2TB drive isn't it?

    (very) slow SSD write speed.

    My SSD (SUNEAST SE900 SSD 2048GB), has suddenly started writing extremely slowly. Like less than 20MB/s when copying photos. Previously it performed decently. The drive is about 75% full. The drive looks healthy according to crystaldiskinfo. But: Do you think the drive is dying? I don't...

    Video/Photo Storage Solution?

    Hi, I'm hoping I can get some advice for my particular case. I work with a lot of video and still image files, and my current storage setup is running out of space. Currently I have a simple setup: - OS/Apps: 240GB SSD - Cache/proxies: 140GB SSD - Photo/Video Data: 2.5TB 7200rpm HDD (85%...

    Mixing monitors with different resolutions in Win10

    Not really. The position is not the problem. The size is. In the settings the portrait monitor shows up as being slightly smaller / shorter than the landscape monitor, but in reality, it is close to double the height. This leads to some awkward behavior when going between screens. I found a...

    Mixing monitors with different resolutions in Win10

    So I just got myself a 27" 4K monitor (LG27UK600), and I am trying to use my old 24" 1200x1920 monitor in a portrait orientation next to it. The scaling for the 4K monitor works well (I have it set to 150%). However I have run into a few issues I was not expecting, and could use some advice...

    27 inch 4K vs 32 inch QHD ? (new monitor advice)

    Hi guys, I could really use some advice on this.

    Help a noob decide on a MB for new 2700x build

    Hi, I just wanted to thank you guys for the advice and let you know I went with the Crosshair VI and have pretty much finished my build :) https://imgur.com/a/mWgOwaS I just need some nice case fans to finish it off. The motherboard is working well and the bios update went smoothly. The only...

    Help a noob decide on a MB for new 2700x build

    Thanks for the advice. As far as I can tell the only major difference is StoreMi. And I doubt that I will ever use that TBH. For some x370 boards I can see it would be a hassle to update the BIOS (requiring a last gen CPU), but the crosshair has that BIOS flashback feature so it should be...

    Help a noob decide on a MB for new 2700x build

    Actually guys, I've just noticed that I can buy a used ROG Crosshair XI Hero x370 for about the same price as the entry level x470 boards. What do you think? With a bios update it should be fully compatible from what I can tell. And it seems like a much higher quality board. Would there be any...

    Help a noob decide on a MB for new 2700x build

    Thanks. The Taichi seems to be an exception. Not sure why. Most other boards are slightly more expensive but not by much. Although ASUS in particular seems to carry a bit of a premium sometimes. It often depends on the specific board, but most of them are fairly similar to in the US. Thanks...

    Most prices here are comparable to what you would find on Amazon US. Its just that there are is nothing like newegg offering rebates here. The Taichi does seem to be an exception though for some reason. Its definitely more pricey here. Not sure why.

    Help a noob decide on a MB for new 2700x build

    Yeah I am probably overthinking the whole thing to be honest. Choosing the other parts of the system have been fairly easy, but the motherboard is a bit more confusing. Like you said, I probably won't notice things that I'm missing if I don't know I need them. As long as it works ! :)
