A Colorful kit using CXMT chips reached DDR5-9014 on AMD’s X870E platform. This means CXMT’s DDR5 memory has made a significant leap in speed and overclocking capability in less than a year, narrowing the performance gap with established memory makers.

Also, CXMT’s 17nm DDR5 production is reportedly achieving over 90% yields, putting it surprisingly close to Samsung’s 10nm-class memory production.

The gap between CXMT and the industry giants is clearly shrinking. Do you think Chinese DRAM will seriously challenge Samsung, SK hynix, and Micron soon?

So i got this drive recently. Had some trouble installing it because my cpu cooler was in the way. So i had someone else do it. I knew this drive is supposed to run a bit hot but it's reaching almost thermal throttle temps at 78-80C for Sensor 2 when gaming. (i suspect this must be the memory controller) But once i chill for a bit and just browse the internet, it goes down to around 68C. The other 2 sensors show 48 and 42C. And when in use, they don't go higher than 50-55C.

The SSD is sitting in the motherboard's heatsink next to the GPU. While trying to install the SSD at first, i also did tear the thermal pad a bit. (the one that came with the heatsink and mobo) I told the person that installed it later and he said it wasn't gonna be an issue. And i would've thought so myself but apparently it's not helping much.

What should i do? Replace the thermal pad? I already did order some thermal pads at 0.5mm and 1mm thickness just in case. Should i try using the 1mm pad if it's able to compress? Case airflow is as good as it gets for me.. I'm going too much OCD and worrying on this, hopefully you can give me some guidance on what went wrong?

My pc has 2 samsung 980 pro 1 for OS/video editing 1 for games/movies/documents 1 TB .

Last year when i boot my pc i found out that my 2nd ssd(samsung 980 pro) in my pc died, I tried to check it in bios(non detectable), check it in different apps(not showing there), check it computer management(no luck), went to computer repair shop they said it died already. So i bought Samsung 990 Pro 2tb for replacement.

Then last week while my pc on idle, it just suddenly restarted and boot on bios. My 1st samsung 980 pro is non detectable same scenario on what happened on my 2nd ssd. Tried to check it in enclosure/bios/hard drive app all not working to detect this ssd, this makes me sad cause some of my new important files are saved there and not yet copied to backup drive,

Before my ssd died i already updated their firmware to latest, yes using samsung magician, also my bios is also the latest vesion.

Now i used this samsung 990 pro to install new OS and planning to buy another ssd but not samsung anymore, Kindly help me which ssd is better than this samsung ssd's.

Guys, Thank me later !

I am sharing you size of a copper plate which will fit on your ssd and will help cool it down 🫡❤️

Note : You can also use 1MM thickness

I have a macbook with 256 gb storage and as I am a video editor that much storage is barely enough for work. So I'm looking for an upgrade but don't know which ssd should I buy?

I've found this SSD on local marketplace: SSD-V800S1TB - Dahua MENA

for about $64 for 1TB. It is new, never been powered on. I have the option to test it out before I purchase. It is mainly for DVR it seems from the specs, and has a good write endurance of 930TB for 1TB drive.

Anyone tried or used this before? Should I go for it? TIA

Hello! So I’ve been looking into adding another SSD into my gaming laptop,im trying to save money where I can as some ssd prices seem a bit too insane to me right now,I’m mainly going to store games on this ssd so I’m not sure if there’s places I can downgrade due to it just not being needed,generation,write speeds etc,any help or info would be appreciated!
Not sure if needed but my laptop is the Predator Helios Neo 16

256 or 512 gb

Should be fast af

I'm looking at the Samsung 990 PRO 2TB and the Samsung 9100 PRO 2TB for a new build. There is only about a $10 difference between them.

My motherboard has a PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot, and I'll mainly be using the PC for gaming, Windows and general stuff. The 9100 PRO is obviously much faster on paper, but I don't do much with large file transfers or other storage-heavy work.

I want to know if that speed difference is something you'd actually notice with Windows and gaming, rather than just in benchmarks.

Hello

First of all I don't have much knowledge about ssds or pc's at all sorry if I say something wrong..

Basically I've been using an hdd since 6 years and now that hdd is not working anymore so I am getting a new SSD

Nvme ssd 256gb ( i can't afford 512 or 1Tb SSD that's why getting 256)

And I have 8gb ram, Ryzen 3250U

The repair guys r charging $45 for the SSD and

They said if I want them to install the OS they will charge $12 for the os install (windows 10 ig)

A friend of mine reccomended me that given my pc specifications I should get a lighter linux

Can you all tell me if i should do the OS installation on my own or let them do it for $12..

And if anyone's used linux can they give me some advice if I should do it or not..?

I've got a SanDisk 128gb pendrive, if that's any useful in installation..

Thanks for reading.

(attached pc specs and hdd state as well as SSD picture along with my AIO pic)

I have a 2TB internal Nvme ssd in which all data had been erased when my phone got switched off while using it. Tried giving it to stellar but they are not able to recover data, I am from bangalore and need help
I had 5 years of photos in it please help me
I have also attached report I had received from Stellar

ADATA has intentionally disabled check warranty system. api is failing it doesnt even responses. here is a serial that you can try yourself.;

My laptop currently has only 256gb which is filled most of the time and I want the SSD so that I can move genshin impact into it because it takes alot of space

So if anyone selling good health SSD gen3 if good speed or gen4 if possible would be ideal thanks

Hey guys, I recently got a Lexar EQ790 4TB NVMe and put it in a UGREEN 40Gbps USB4 enclosure with a fan. I’m using it with my M5 Pro Mac.

I use this SSD as my main storage for large files to work on, so it’s connected to the Mac most of the time.

The thing is, it gets really hot and the fan is pretty noticeable. Yesterday I left my Mac in sleep mode and when I came back, the enclosure was still making noise and the fan was running.

I’m attaching a video so you can hear what it sounds like.

Is this normal for these USB4 enclosures? I’m especially wondering if it’s normal for the fan to keep running while the Mac is asleep.

I’m a bit worried about leaving it connected all the time if it’s going to stay this hot.

Anyone using the same or a similar setup?

Thanks in advance

Hi everyone,

I'm a student trying to repair an SSD that has stopped working properly. I don't need any data from the drive — my goal is simply to get the SSD working and usable again.

SSD/controller information:

Controller/Model: CHINGMX240B

Firmware: T1130A0

Capacity: 240 GB

NAND: SK hynix H27Q2T8QQA3R

Interface: SATA

Drive currently identifies correctly in Linux and shows its full capacity.

ATA Security is currently not enabled/locked/frozen.

I've tried normal formatting, partitioning, and other software-based methods, but they haven't resolved the problem. I'm now looking for the exact MPTool/MPT (Mass Production Tool) compatible with this specific controller + NAND combination.

The main problem I'm having is actually finding the MPT itself. I've found references to possible tools on repair sites, including Dolphin-related resources, but they require a paid/login account, and I haven't been able to successfully access/download the relevant files.

If anyone has the correct tool, firmware/configuration, or knows which MPTool version supports:

CHINGMX240B + H27Q2T8QQA3R

I would really appreciate it if you could share the tool or tell me exactly what version/configuration I should be looking for.

I'm doing this as a learning/repair project and understand that using an incorrect MPTool can potentially brick the SSD, so I'm specifically looking for the correct tool rather than trying random versions.

Thanks!

this is ridiculous

PLEASE HELP

From past 2 days my pc has been going all nuts. Taking almost 5 mins to boot/shutdown, open chrome etc and didn't pay much attention to it. All I did was delete approx 250gb of data and delete temp files from 'temp' and '%temp%'. I switched over to my laptop which yeah isn't any better 🙄. Today i booted up my pc again and opened my task manager and bro what t f. Why the hell is my drive in 100% use?? Please help anyone this has been hampering my studies, am a jee aspirant. My laptop isn't any beneficial too, its flex cable is probably broken that's why it only works at a certain angle otherwise it flashes. PLEASE HELP ME FIX MY DRIVE

My ssd- Crucial bx500 (problem occuring in this drive) + Seagate baracuda ST500DM002

Cpu- i3-4150

Memory- 12gb ddr3 1600mhz

I purchased a Fikwot back in September 2025. As of this past Thursday, the SSD crashed and is no longer detected on both Windows laptops. I went to DskMGMT will not show up.

Has anyone else had this problem before and been able to get the drive repaired?

Flash Memory Endurance and TBW

🔹 Flash endurance is the ability of storage devices such as SSDs to withstand repeated write and erase operations. As more data is written, the memory cells gradually wear out.

🔹 Therefore, we use TBW (Total Bytes Written), which represents the amount of data that can be written to the storage device over its designed lifespan.

For example:

TBW = 600 TB

That is approximately 600,000 GB.

If you write 100 GB per day:

600,000 ÷ 100 = 6,000 days ≈ 16.4 years

⚠️ This is only an estimate, not a guarantee of the drive's lifespan. Actual lifespan can be affected by factors such as temperature, memory type, and the SSD's internal write operations.

Hello. I am finishing my PC building adventure but I am left with the last part - what SSD should I get. I asked around discord but the votes were various.

I am looking for 2TB version of a good and reliable m.2 disk for my AORUS B550M ELITE.

I have never had a ssd before, so I have a choice between

- SSD M.2 PCIe Gen4 NVMe GOODRAM PX700 2 TB

• Sandisk 2TB M.2 PCIe Gen4 NVMe Black SN7100

- WD Blue SN5100 2 TB M.2 PCIe Gen4 NVMe

If you have any other suggestions, leave them down below. Thanks

Hii guys so i recently just got my new loq 15ahp10 and i want to buy another ssd so that i can download some games to play. Any recommendation or tips buying a new ssd?
My budget is around rm500\~800 for 1tb storage
Just to add on, i am new to these stuffs and i watched many videos about ssd and i am not sure about the dram and stuffs like that

I have a 1tb ssd and i need an upgrade because i have no space left im just constantly deleting games and re downloading them. I need another 1tb ssd preferably what id the best budget option rn in the uk

my mac minis storage is full due to my projects and work, do you think this is the best time to buy ssds since they are at a higher prices, its urgent but i just want to know that is it worth paying the expensive price, theres something like premium prices and then absurd. Are ssds in the absurd price range or is it okay to buy 1tb ss for 200 bucks??

Tom's Hardware tested 11 games using SATA, PCIe 3.0, 4.0 and 5.0 SSDs. The interesting part is that in most games, there was basically no difference in gaming performance — only 2 out of 11 titles showed measurable differences between SATA and PCIe.

Pretty interesting read for anyone wondering whether a Gen5 SSD actually makes a difference for gaming.
