i boot from Samsung 970 pro SSD it still has 97% life after 2+ years i did nothing special in terms of logs etc these articles came from a set of scaremongering reddit and forum posts from mainly one individual also people confuse their samsung drive issues with proxmox issues (there was a particula

Google sounds a bit off. An ssd like the samsung 970 pro that uses MLC nand has a tbw rating of 600 for a 512gb drive. So about 1170 full drive cycles. The 980 pro uses TLC nand and that has a tbw rating of 300 for the 512gb. Thats about 585 full drive cycles. Ssds use higher quality nands than memo

And I have THREE of them. in Z170 they were all connected to the chipset, and I ran it in RAID 0 which all bottlenecks at... 3.0 x4. So yeah, s

Yes, it seems today, the minimal optimal amount of RAM is 32GB, even the for DDR5 type, for gaming & other intensive computing tasks.

My main PC can run up to 192GB (I believe), but it’s an AM5 MB (X670E) and running 64GB of RAM in a 32GB x2 configuration (recommended by AMD to achieve DDR5-6000 M/T). If not mistaken, when all four slots are populated, it can’t run at that speed. But it more than meets my needs & fortunately I pur
