I mean that's what I intended it for. It doesn't come with a heatsink but I would just used the one that came with my mobo. Since I ended up using a USB enclosure, the enclosure is basically the heatsink. And it does get warm.
The main complaints I saw on here were about endurance / lifetime of the QLC, and write performance. If you're mostly doing read work (perfect for console games) like vm images etc, not necessarily running VMs off it, which would be constantly reading and writing? For $79 I say give it a shot
So I meant to use this as a steam/game drive on my PC rebuild... but stuff happened and money went to home repairs, so that's not gonna happen any time soon.
I was bored today and decided to put this 2tb 670p into my nvme-usb (o r i c o) enclosure... and slapped it on the PS5. I've been...
Hmm I thought this was something like Autochess but is different, will check it out. I always claim the free weekly games no matter what anyway. Some day when I retire I *might* play this stuff......... but for now, on to replaying 15 year old XCOM 2! :jimlad:
I had a SLC, roommate had the DLC. They both sucked, but they were stupid cheap. Back when a DX2-66 ran like $2-300, the DLC/SLC chips were like $30. And they ran on old 386 boards. Actually now that I think about it, the SLC I had was soldered to the board. You could play Doom on them, but...
Aw man.... it didn't keep my saves, I guess when I downloaded the new package it reset everything. So I can't get to the Chosen stuff without completing the main campaign again. *shakes fist at the sky*
100? Wow! And yeah I don't care about multi.
What was funny is when I first fired it up, it was reporting around 800fps... yeah it defaults to 720 low, but still made me feel giddy for a minute. 4k medium on 1080ti was still at 100... takes a nose dive on 4k maximum. But it's a turn based...

Came across this today. I own XCOM 2 already, but this collection contains ALL of the DLC : War of the Chosen expansion, and four DLC packs (Resistance Warrior Pack, Anarchy’s Children, Alien Hunters, Shen’s Last Gift)
I bought it...
Remove the "old" drive and make sure pc boots properly and recognized. Then re-add. Better, if you have a m.2 usb adapter, use that and kill off the old partitions. Don't recreate them, then reinstall. It should show up as a new device in disk mgr.
These are ok for backup drives I guess but OMG they are so slow. In fact most of my PNY ones are. Still.... $9....
OTOH think of the infinite amount of music you could put on one of these and use it in your car. I mean only have a 16gb stick in my car and it holds like 100 albums
So many.... so little time
I think what is most interesting though is all the older ones I was going to list required tricks and overclocking.... slockets, pencil mods, voltage mods, etc etc. Plus endless jumper/BIOS tweaking.
Nowadays the CPUs overclock themselves. We don't have to do much...
