T710

Crucial is part of micron the other big dram/nand producer. They offered gen5 drives way before Samsung did. The t705 and t710 are excellent drives, the later outperform the 9100pro in some tests and vice-versa, they are very comparable drives. As to which to get I would say at this level..the cheap

I would recommend a few things Change the GPU. The 9060XT is a great gaming card, but NVidia has a commanding lead in content creation tasks. This is the time to pay extra and get a 5060Ti 16GB. If that is too much for the budget, see about finding a used card from the 3000 or 4000 series. A 3080 or

As I'm sure you know, specific colors tend to add to the cost of the PC. I managed an all-white build for $1569, and I'll list a few ways to get the cost down (if needed), as well as a few upgrade ideas. For the CPU, I picked the 9600X. It's a good cpu, current model, for a great price. It stays coo

For the CPU, I picked the 9950X. It's an amazingly fast CPU with 16 cores. It stays cool with a great non-rgb 360mm AIO. The motherboard has wifi, 5Gb ethernet and extra M.2 & DIMM slots for future upgrades. The build has 64GB of RAM and a 2TB SSD, ultra-fast PCIe 5.0 SSD with dram cache. This disk

Here's my suggested build. For the CPU, I picked the 270k Plus. It's Intel's new cpu and it is great for productivity. It stays cool with a white 360mm RGB AIO cooler. The white motherboard has wifi and extra M.2 & DIMM slots for future upgrades. The build has 32GB of white RGB RAM. Storage is handl

Great deal. Looks like Crucial clearing out their stuff. The flagship T710 2tb with and without heatsink is 210/220 too. Not worth it over the P510 for most use cases, but if you have a use for it or just want the best one I think it's the cheapest it's ever been.

Honestly, when you first commented this I wasn't really sure, but now after a few weeks I can say I'm getting a consistent ~4-6 hours of screen on time with mixed web use. For some reason the battery life went up a good amount after swapping the SSD from the included one (was a crap 256 GB drive wit

I would update the SSD to a Gen5 NVMe, Samsung 9100 Pro, Crucial T710, or WD_Black. Take advantage of those Gen5 speeds.

60gb will take a while on a mechanical drive Eh really depends on the HDD. Outside this guy's budget but I'm using 4 x 18 TB ironwolf pros in my desktop. Largely for my Plex server but also archival photos etc, all mirrored (with the personal files also updated once a year on a separate 8TB I keep a
