• I NEED HELP! How can I fix this?

  I use an app to check system temps: OpenHardwareMonitor. Some people like SpeedFan, does most of the same stuff. Source: over 1 year ago

• Question - Are the loading times supposed to be this bad right now??

  That's not super common (but it does happen ofc). It might be worth running a tool to scan the drive and take a peek at the SMART data. I typically use Speedfan https://almico.com/speedfan.php. Source: over 1 year ago

• Computer has come back from a repair shop wiped and is missing A vital app I used to control fan speeds and I cant redownload it. Any alternative apps?

  You'll get better gpu support from Afterburner, but if you have a weird chipset or an incompatible fan controller, good old SpeedFan still has a few tricks. Source: over 1 year ago

• SSD and HDD usage goes to 100% for the simplest processes

  Check disk health with speedfan from http://almico.com/speedfan.php. Source: over 2 years ago

• Computer Software for me :)

  Speedfan Freeware gives you some info about your temps, but its mostly used to set up your custom fan control, such as increasing rpm of your front intake fans when temp of GPU and/or CPU reaches a certain point and much more, how much you can do with it depends on the fan controller chip that is used on your mainboard, so you mileage may vary.

• Everything I Know About SSDs (2019)

  >if you get the SMART data with smartmontools/smartctl, you can inspect Percentage Used. CrystalDiskInfo[1] can be used for this purpose over on Windows. Some vendor-provided utilities like Samsung Magician will also provide this data with appropriate drives.

• A3Launcher has broken my steam, more info below. Anyone know how to fix this chicanery?

• Failed Hard Drive From Windows System

  Plug it directly into sata and see if it's shown in disk manager with the correct capacity. If it is post a screenshot of the smart data from https://crystalmark.info/en/software/crystaldiskinfo/ and we can see what the best way to proceed would be . Source: 4 months ago

• Can’t access old HDD

  The disk is likely failing. DO NOT attempt any write operations like assigning a letter or changing file ownership. What you're saying suggests that the filesystem is corrupted, it's just unclear to what extent. It would be helpful if you provided a screenshot from CrystalDiskInfo. Most likely the best course of action is to boot https://www.hddsuperclone.com/hddlivecd and image the drive to a file on a different,... Source: 6 months ago

• My SSD suddenly died. I only lost 10 minutes of data, thanks to ZFS

  Minimum write size of a modern Flash chip can be ~100MB(!) according to a comment found in a random orange website[1]. So 5MB write every 10 minutes can be 600MB/hr, which is 4.8TB/8-hr-day, which is 24TB/40-hour-week, which is 3.43 DWPD real time for a 1TB drive, and 2500 TBW in 2 years real time[2]. Official quoted specification for SN850 is 600 TBW of write endurance, likely after derating for obvious warranty... - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago
