870 EVO

It's a pretty hot topic. I also base my setup on two 2TB Samsung 870EVO SSDs, and honestly, I've never had any problems, even with very long sessions in Prores Raw HQ at 5.9K. I haven't encountered any problems even when updating. Samsung EVO SSDs differ from Samsung Pro SSDs in how they manage writ

What helped me before on older towers is to check electrical headroom before I even compare card specs, because throttling ruins the whole upgrade feeling. On a 9020 with 4790K and 315W PSU, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Low Profile 6GB can be workable only when airflow and power limits are managed carefu

Try to go for the 7215B revision of the PS4 Pro - Sony made improvements with the cooling with these. I recently got one and it’s not a jet engine lol. Also, I was very lucky and found someone selling an unopened 2 TB Samsung 870 EVO SSD for $150. If you’re willing to search for one - go for it. Oth

That model should be fine keeping the 256 GB NVMe drive and replacing the 2.5 inch hard drive with a 2.5 inch SATA SSD, assuming the caddy and cable are still inside. I have done this kind of Dell swap before, and the main thing is thickness, so stick with a 7 mm 2.5 inch SATA drive. A Crucial MX500

On that generation of ProDesk Mini, I would assume one M.2 NVMe slot unless the service manual for your exact board says otherwise. I worked through a similar tiny-desktop upgrade before, tbh, and the SATA path was usually the realistic second-drive option because the chassis needs the drive tray an

Try disabling turbo boost on the i7, as it's very tight inside that small 21.5" chassis. The whole point of the i7 is the hyperthreading, having 8 threads instead of 4 on the i5, even tho both i5 and i7 have 4 cores. When I went from i5 in the 2017 4k imac and upgraded to the i7, the cpu temps would

I’m using a Samsung 870 EVO 1TB SSD in my HomeBase 3 and haven’t had any issues with it ever. Could be the drive.

Wait you are trying to copy windows from your 1tb 870 Evo SSD to a 4tb HDD? This will cause a huge increase in Windows loading times. They are fine for storing files and games etc but if you want windows to load faster you want to keep it on your SSD. When you say slots do you mean physical slots in

11W out of the box, previously 10W when running with a G5400. I've done some work on OS and BIOS, but change nothing, i couldn't lower my number. On unRaid i set the power mode as best efficiency, on the BIOS i manually activate all C state, and set the governor to power saving, i'm still running Sp

Since your VMs and containers are going on the 1TB NVMe, the boot drive just needs to hold Proxmox itself plus ISOs and maybe some local backups. 250GB is more than enough for that, you could even get away with 120GB honestly. The 250GB 870 EVO will be totally fine.
