While this is little-known hardware at the moment, we’ll soon see it cited in specifications for multiple processors, both for PCs and other devices. And we’re not talking about a piece of science fiction, since systems already on sale such as next-gen video game consoles and graphics cards already include this hardware unit. Basic operation of compressors and decompressors By …
The games that take up the most space on your SSD or hard drive Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2019 and Cold War Without a doubt, this is the game with the most textures taking up the most space on our precious storage device. After patches and substitutes, the game reaches 231 GB in total, forcing the user to opt …
There is nothing worse than buying a new hardware device and finding that it doesn’t work the first time. This is a situation that usually doesn’t happen but, like everything else, can happen to you. What if the card does not detect your new M.2 SSD? If you bought an M.2 SSD and the motherboard does not detect it, it …
Although in this article we are going to focus on SSDs, be aware that for example the same thing happens to USB drives since they use the same type of memory in most cases. Likewise, this affects both SSDs that we connect internally to the PC and external SSDs connected through a USB interface, so in general you need to …
Before we begin, we need to clarify several critical points. There is a big difference between the methods to get better performance and the methods to achieve maximum SSD durability, and it is that they are not the same. How to optimize the performance of an SSD in Windows 10 There are textbooks which deal with the second with the …
As the name suggests, entering an SSD in read-only or write-protected mode means that no more data can be written to its memory, but the data is still accessible in read-only mode. This means that if the SSD was your system drive, the PC will surely not boot anymore, but you can still connect the SSD as a secondary drive …
We’ve been hearing for a long time how solid drives or SSDs will eventually replace the hard drives or hard drives of a lifetime, the simple answer will be when it comes to an insurmountable bottleneck for applications, but today , we continue to use them. But until when will they coexist with hard drives? The hard drive has been …
It must happen to you: update a driver and have problems on your PC. They may not be detected at the time, but they do eventually appear and it is difficult to understand what is going on. The errors with AHCI drivers are almost without a doubt the worst, because in most cases they prevent the operating system from booting, …
In this article we therefore assume that you already have an SSD with SATA 3 interface, but your motherboard supports the installation of SSD in M.2 format with PCIe interface (either PCIe 3.0 or 4.0) NVMe, otherwise said, we would talk about an improvement without having to change anything other than the storage device, or the motherboard or any other …
An external SSD, especially if it is based on the PCIe NVMe interface, promises much higher performance than a traditional hard drive, which can exceed the transfer rate of 1 GB / s, compared to the 100-150 MB / s that ‘they offer mechanical hard drives with USB connection. However, we must also take into account the same problem that …
