Yes, you can do that. But usually, the SSD part of a (former) fusion drive is way too small for that to make sense (32 to 128GB). These sizes might be enough for the system to run but you have to remember the system needs space for cache and stuff. My suggestion: Would be better you buy an SSD like

I had this to. Apperantly it was not running well with my Lexar NM790 nvme ssd at the moment of the stutters it was spiking to 100% usage with only 55mb/s reading speed. Ive moved the game to my secondary slower Samsung 970 evo plus and now the reads speeds stay high while usage stay low while drivi

I went from ESXi to proxmox to get around some of the limitations of what was then the free-tier license of ESXi. I know xcp exists and is probably great software, but proxmox has literally never given me a reason to want to switch. My setup is more home-server than home-lab, I do use the services I

6800 is not a high end GPU. It's 2 generations old Mid tier. The 11500 is also a low tier chip. The 850w psu is way oversized.

Probably not. Its not exactly a t480, but I got an i5 t490s recently. It was going for the same price as the t480 lineup and it had 32 gb ram soldered (16+ gigs of sodimm ram costs as much as a whole thinkpad nowadays). I swapped out the drive for a Samsung 970 evo plus and an intel ax210, both of w

had a similar issue with an inspiron where the ssd would overheat and disconnect. flipping it over to cool down is a big clue - the controller chip might be failing when hot. first run dell's built-in diagnostics (spam F12 at boot). if that passes, back up anything important asap. you could try a co

I use Samsung 970 EVO 500GB without any problems with Pi 5.

i feel you on this one - same thing happened to my samsung 970 evo after three years. that red highlight usually means the bios sees the drive but can't boot from it. first thing - grab a usb stick and make a bootable hirens bootcd pe on another pc to test the ssd health. samsung magician software c
