Show us your SSD performance

Something I ran into when I put mine in. The SSD with the OS was continuously Indexing the old HDD that was the Boot and System HDD.

In Disk Management "D" was still showing and marked "Active" and "Primary".
It was no longer marked Boot or System though.
All I had to do was right click and change it as I show in Snip.

Anyway when I got "D" set to just "Primary" it quit indexing.
This did slow the SSD down a bit.

Storage is just "Primary" which I know you know but like me did you double check it?
If that isn't the problem I'm not sure what it is.

That's interesting hopalong, never given a thought to mine but it looks like this.

Is this wrong and if so then is there any way to change it keeping all the data intact on it?

Paul

Yours is right.

Only one, Disk 1 is "Active" on your system.
System Reserve is on the same disk as the OS. So it is also "Active".


I edited my original post on the last page. It made sense to me but might not have to others.
Sometimes the brain plays Scrambled eggs instead of "Scrabble" with what your trying to state.

Mine isn't working at 100% either so it seems if you read my "red add on" above.

I haven't had any alcohol!!!!!

Ok thanks for clearing that up bud :)

I think I understand but I have had a beer so my mind is not as sharp as usual lol

Paul.

Have another for me. I can't have one but sure would like to.

I just put an SSD in my new laptop. What do you guys think?
Attachment 166957

Not bad for a laptop is it?

Not bad at all.

That is a really nice laptop, and a very good price.

I like having two hard drive bays.

With two SSDs, do you see better battery life?
Mine almost doubled when I put the SSD in, still have a spinner in there.

I really can't tell you. I took the battery out. We never use it. It is mostly for my Wife and she only usus it at home plugged in. In order to save the battery, I 5thought it best to just remove it until such time as we need it. But, yes I had been shopping for laptops for a long time. This was the best price for a similarly equipped laptop I could find. Consume research reviewed laptops and this one came out #5 of several hundred reviewed. I really don't put a lot of faith in that unless they rate them after using them for 5 years. But, so far it seems to be good.

I don't see the price/performance/benefit ratio as being good yet. You guys help them develop the bleeding edge and I'll jump in when it's cheap and effective, k?

For an SSD?


I've done many,many upgrades over the years. Motherboards, CPUs, GPUs, Ram etc ...

I can honestly say the SSD was the only upgrade that made such an immediate difference I was amazed. Far more than any other component upgrade.
Installing Windows was faster, but even after 1st boot I could tell.

Id say they are certainly worth the investment. At least as a OS/App drive.

As a drive for Storage or for lots of games, it may not be worth the investment.
Too expensive for that much space, and it wont make enough of a difference here to justify it IMHO. Not like it does for the OS.
