I'm planning on upgrading my computer to a Ryzen 5 later this year. I think what I'm going to do since I'm upgrading to a M.2 SSD at the same time is:
Hi Richard, Disclaimer: I am a Samsung re-seller. Just some tips on that. 1) Buy a Samsung NVMe SSD drive. I have gone through hell trying to replace everyone one with Samsung at my own expense. Especially stay away from Intel. I took it in the shorts over that one. Cost me a few thousand dollars of free parts and labor to remove all of them. All but the very oldest ones that work perfectly. 2) size you drive such that it will have 1/2 of its capacity open. This is because there is a computer on the drive you don't know about that is constantly moving data around so that no one spot gets over used. It is called "wear leveling". And it work well only if your drive is 1/2 or more empty. 3) make sure you have proper air circulation across it. They get hot and heat is your enemy. I have a Samsung 960 NVMe drive in my office computer. Only holy molly it is fast! Fedora 28 takes 7 seconds to boot up after I enter the password prompt. The 960 has been replaced with the 970. -T _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org
