    Question Is the WD Elements Portable any good

    I haven't heard again that 2.5" HDDs are more fragile. I would have thought (like manly) that they would be better suited given they have evolved for laptop. I've had two of them in operation for more than 8 years. One of them died a few days ago but the other one keeps going. I was just...

    Question Is the WD Elements Portable any good

    I didn't thought to research that, thank you, it's a nice idea. I prefer the 2.5" ones because they produce less noise. What difference in speed are we talking about? I'm getting close to 120-80MB/sec (depending on how full it is) on a 2.5" USB drive I have.

    Question Is the WD Elements Portable any good

    I need a drive to add one more backup point on my data scheme and I'm considering WD Elements Portable. It's the cheapest portable drive by WD. I know that it's not supported by their software and I don't care about that. What I'd like to know is whether it's any good in terms of quality and...

    Thanks to your advice I made my purchase and I'm now enjoying my new drive. Thanks to everyone who contributed to this topic!

    Question I'd like a suggestion for an all-purpose 2TB SSD

    For the 980 Pro, a sustained write performance of 1.9GB/sec is still great. The SN850 has a larger SLC cache but lower sustained performance, at 1GB/sec. I now understand the value of cache: most of our day-to-day operations are within cache size so the drive is effectively that fast. Prices...

    Question I'd like a suggestion for an all-purpose 2TB SSD

    This is interesting. What is the sustained speed for 980 Pro and 970 Evo Plus? Does Samsung have an MLC M.2 drive today? Is there a place I can look at drives who use MLC?

    Question I'd like a suggestion for an all-purpose 2TB SSD

    I thought that M.2 used one lane. That's great to hear! Having 3.5GB/sec speed is going to be great boost over the 70MB/sec I'm getting now from my platter disk now. One more question - Is the 970 a drive of less quality or consistency, or is it just slower?

    Question I'd like a suggestion for an all-purpose 2TB SSD

    I am aware that WD owns SanDisk and it's quite possible that SanDisk manufactures the WD drives but I mostly want to stay away from their USB SSDs which I have seen have many problems. I rarely see a WD M.2 SSD with issues. Maybe they use a different process. I am still considering everything...

    Question I'd like a suggestion for an all-purpose 2TB SSD

    I want to get a 2TB SSD to use as my main storage and I'm here to get a few suggestions on what I should be looking at. I will use the drive to: Store and access files Run VirtualBox VMs Run apps (most of my apps are portable) Do image processing (Lightroom) Do video editing (Sony Vegas) Watch...

    Question Can image burn happen in LED displays?

    So a permanent burn in can happen on this display, which is a LED one, right?

    Question Can image burn happen in LED displays?

    I have a Dell U2520D LED QHD IPS 210-AVBF which I use for work (from home) and fun. It's very usual that I'll have the exact same apps open on the display for 8 maybe 10 hours straight. I've noticed that when I finish work and switch desktops there is some ghosting that goes away after a few...

    Question 2.5" HDDs slow down the more they're filled with data

    Ah, but of course! It makes perfect sense! My initial question has been answered, thank you! The noise. I tested 3.5" drives back then but the noise was too much for me. I would consider them again, of course. Also, thank you for suggesting these docks. I didn't know they existed. My data...

    Question 2.5" HDDs slow down the more they're filled with data

    The only way I can explain this is if they're using shingled magnetic recording. But that doesn't slow down reading, doesn't it? I know I've got options if I want to go faster but I don't want to spend the money right now. The reason I got 2.5" drives back then is because they're quieter than...

    Question thumb drive: why the discrepancy in write speed between Crystal Mark and Windows?

    Nothing changed between the two tests. I used the same OS, the same port, the same USB cable, and it had the same free space (completely empty). I didn't even unmount the device.
