Windows 11’s Latest Security Update (KB5063878) Is Reportedly Causing Several SSD Failures When Writing a Large Number of Files at Once
From GOTA(Twitter) Landmine Pattern 1: DRAM-less NVMe relying on HMBIn 24H2, the HMB allocation jumped from 64 MB to 200 MB → DMA fault → Controller went silent → OS detected "Surprise Removal" and SMART could no longer be read. 2. Old Phison FWThe E12 generation is prone to timeouts when rewriting

Installing ZorinOS and upgrading my old laptop.
The biggest performance upgrade IMO is replacing the HDD with a SSD. Watch out for cheap SSDs though, they likely will not have a DRAM cache, the unbranded or obscure branded ones particulary. Personally I'd always go for a known performance brand with a DRAM cache, e.g. Samsung 870 EVO or WD Blue S

Budget SSD választás home-made NAS-hoz?
Saját tapasztalat: 2,5 éve vettem 2 db 1TB-s WD Blue SA510-et. Akciós volt. Nem, nem az emagon, hanem az Aqua-ban :) Az egyik 1 év múlva bedöglött, gariban kicserélték. Azóta megy napi szinten. A másikkal semmi gond nem volt. Mennek rendesen, a HD Sentinel szerint mind a kettő 100% állapotú.1 dolog

Did I screw myself with this WD Blue drive?
The 2TB SA510 uses a different(better) controller and is a better drive than the lower capacity SA510 drives. The lower capacities uses a WD controller that was pretty bad. WD literally used the controller on just the WD Blue SSDs and then abandoned it...I wonder why... The 2TB version uses a Silico

How to upgrade my PC?
If you had an NVME slot, you won't notice any difference with an SSD that fast, a lower end one will work just fine: https://www.pccomponentes.com/disco-duro-wd-green-sn3000-2tb-disco-ssd-5000mb-s-nvme-pcie-40-m2-gen4-qlc-3d-nand But since it doesn't look like your PCP has a NVME slot: https://www.a

Best 2tb ssd for h500 hub?
For sata ssds, they are all basically the same. The only real difference you will come across is if it has dram (technically better) or not. The 870 has dram, I went with one with dram (WD Blue SA510). At max throughout with 16 cameras you're only looking at about 64 mb/s. Well under the max through
