Help - SSD impending doom

The Crucial MX is at least "better" than the absolute-shite BX model, but it's still a desktop-rated drive and not suitable for 24/7 hypervisor use. The 500GB drive only has ~180TBW rating. If you want something that will actually last, go with a used Enterprise SSD off ebay or a "pro" rated 1TB dri

Apex support a 8tb hardrive?

Officially they'll say no, single sided only. However, the wifi chip is dead center of the ssd, so a 8tb double sided with the chips on the edge works. I have a lexar nm790 8tb in my apex and have zero issues with temps or stability.

Build request in Canada

What matters the most are the TBW / MTBF. The ssd is the SN5100 QLC / TLC is a general recommendation, TLC usually lasts longer with a bigger SLC cache, hence why people recommends it. The choice of QLC here is key, cheaper with 50% more performances than any TLC you can find at this price. Even if

Avaliem meu primeiro pc

não acho que a 4060ti faça sentido, você pega 5060 e 9060xt 8gb mais baratas que ela e tem no mínimo a mesma potência (as da nvidia tem as tecnologias deles a mais que a AMD então se você quer ter essas coisas eu diria pra ir de 5060) essa MSI BNL é uma bomba, vai na BN que é decente ou na NZXT C650

Proxmox ZFS IO pressure stall and consumer SSD

BX series is hot garbage for server usage. Your only realistic option is to replace them if you want decent performance. Personally I go with used enterprise SSD from ebay, but for homelab nvme I can recommend Lexar NM790

Montando meu primeiro PC

Sinceramente? Eu manteria essa build em DDR4 sem peso na consciência. O pessoal criou uma ideia de que “DDR5 ou nada”, mas no mundo real a diferença prática em jogos entre um Ryzen 7 5700X com 32 GB DDR4 bem configurados e uma build AM5 de entrada com 16 GB single channel muitas vezes não justifica

DXP2800 Home server

I recommend any drive that uses TLC (not QLC), has a 5 year warranty and a half decent SCL or DRAM cache. The lower the cell density, the better the performance, reliability and longevity. Hence TLC (tri-level) will greatly outperform QLC (quad-level) but will cost more. Most cheap drives are going

Building a new gaming pc in 2026

9800X3D eats CS2 for breakfast—300fps is a walk in the park. That RAM price is robbery though; kr6000+ is scalper territory even in Norway. Swap the 750W PSU for 850W; 9070 XT transients spike hard and 750W is living dangerously. NV3 SSD is budget trash for this tier—grab a Lexar NM790. Prices aren'

High IO delay. Please help.

The specs on this** are pretty low-end for proxmox, you're not likely to have a good experience with it - even with the upgrades. ** " Qotom Mini PC Q750G5 CPU Celeron J4125 Quad Core 2.0 Ghz 5X 2.5G LAN Ports Home Office Router Firewall - 8GB RAM 128GB SSD " A quad-core 2GHz Celeron is just not enough
