Keypass... Actually, one of the most secure methods for storing passwords is in a physical book with YOU being the only one to know that you have such a book, and you encode your entries in such a way that only you know what the entries mean. If you choose to use a piece of software (i.e. a...

Wow, the thread is totally off-topic! John, take a deep breath. Everything is going to be O.K.

My computer doesn’t have a motherboard. It has a grandpa board.

I’m glad I was able to amuse somebody. Sometimes, we need to laugh, even if it is at ourselves.

I agree with your comment about my abrasiveness. Actually it's more ranting than abrasiveness. And I did contribute to the verbiage, as you also did. But I don't agree with the idea that there hasn't been white-knighting, possibly even by you. And the comment about your consistency in your...

Why don't we say it like it is? There's some white-knighting going on here. And it's a bit silly. A damsel in distress hangs her hanky out of a castle window. On the hanky is writing that says: "Help, help, I need some help picking a $50 NVME! A bunch of white knights congregate to discuss...

Yes, unfortunately, I have read the posts in this thread, including your posts, which have some value. But there's been too much verbage, such as mentioning Gen 5 NVME drives which few people can even implement right now. Most of us have already said too much.

Have you actually read the posts in this thread? If so, I don't think you'd be asking this question. But maybe it's just elevator music to you...

'Not gonna make any friends with this post... This thread reminds me of what a fellow engineer told me once: "After all is said and done, more is said than done!" I can testify to the truthfulness of that statement from my experience in working at Intel, Micron, IMFlash, against competitors...

The difference in performance is not significant enough to warrant a clean install of Windows 11, regardless of what a support rep at Solidigm says. I’ve seen Raid out-perform AHCI, and vice-versa. I’ve also seen BIOS\MBR disk layouts out-perform UEFI\GPT layouts. It depends on the hardware and...

So you mention indexing. Maybe I missed something, but I did not see where you mention how to turn off indexing. In File Explorer, right-click on your main drive (usually C: drive), select properties and uncheck the box: "Allow files on this drive to have contents indexed in addition to file...

Yes, your PC doesn't have an NVME soulmate. Once you get around 7000Mb/sec transfer speed, it's all good!

OK, as usual, I'm late to the party. I have 4 Dell precision laptops, and a Dell Latitude. So I have some experience with Dell laptops. Note: Before you do anything like this, have a backup of your SSD/NVME and the software needed to restore the backup on a bootable USB drive. Upon examining...

Yes, I forgot to "use the force". I don't have a heat sync on my NVME, so it was 138 degrees fahrenheit when completed. Running the usual ton of background apps as well. P.S. I have now put my light saber away...

OK, since we're posting speeds. Here is the CrystalDisk measurement for my read-only Samsumg 1Tb 990 Pro NVME. The NVME exploded after performing the read test. P.S. Just kidding, of course.:ROFLMAO:
