• Sd card question

  If you're concerned about the quality and reliability of the card you can run Crystal Disk Mark to give you a reliable score of how good it is: https://crystalmark.info/en/software/crystaldiskmark/. Source: 5 months ago

• 3TB of Storage success

  u/TheBigPete Favor to ask of you that would be tremendously appreciated! Can you do a clean restart and quit all background running applications? Once done, launch (install if need be), CrystalDiskMark (https://crystalmark.info/en/software/crystaldiskmark/) and run a standard speed test on your SN740. If you can attach a screenshot of the performance results, it'd be amazing! Source: 11 months ago

• SSD drive download speed

  What’s the utilization of the SSD when you download things? You can see it in task manager and it will just give a percentage from 0% - 100%. It could be that your download is slow purely because the SSD can’t write fast enough. What is the SSD too such as brand, capacity, etc. As some SSD’s are just fake. Just making sure that’s not the case! You can also check the Read/Write speed of the SSD using something like... Source: 11 months ago

• Go Pro Hero 7 White keeps stopping recordings

  Download Chrystaldiskmark and check the write speed, and then you'll have a better understanding of what's going on. Source: 12 months ago

• Problem with modpack disk usage

  How old is it? In task manager, sort the processes by disk usage to see if something is hogging the drive. Also may be worth running a benchmark for the SSD to see if its even running as one would expect. CrystalDiskMark is a good utility that is easy to use. https://crystalmark.info/en/software/crystaldiskmark/. Source: 12 months ago

• Installing windows and it says that driver is missing, not drives

  You could, for example, boot your computer to an operating system which resides on a USB stick, and then examine the health of your existing drive.... Booting to something like Parted Magic, since it has most of the tools you'd need for "fixing" hard drives, already included with the OS. All that would take, is a USB stick, and a computer to download and mount the image on the stick (with a program like YUMI). Source: 11 months ago

• Need help putting unallocated space to windows partition, any help would be appreciated

  But, ranting aside, you can use either * GParted Live, or * PartedMagic To boot into a linux OS and modify the drive's partitions. Specifically you'll want to move the “D:” disk partition to make the unallocated space next to the disk partition you want to extend. Source: 11 months ago

• I want to destroy a hdd(question). I threw it from a balcony 3m tall. Dunked it in water for like 10 days. Can I throw that thing in the trash knowing in the absurd chance someone picks it up, can't recover something?

  For future reference, running something like Active KillDisk or Parted Magic against the drive multiple passes should be more than sufficient to prevent most all recovery unless you're dealing with a government entity. Source: 12 months ago
