Anyone else get off at cheap but incredibly effective upgrades?

you fucked up
>reinstall fresh Windows 10
This where I stopped reading.
Hijacking this thread. I want to stick an SSD in my Win7 rig but don't want to go through the effort of reinstalling windows. Is there any efficient way of copying the OS installation over to the new drive?
Buy a SSD which gives you Acronis for free or Samsung which gives you Samsung Disk Magician, both have OS migration.
Plenty. ddrescue for example. There's various bootable media you can put on USB that bring among others reimaging software. Some manufacturers have their own software for that, too.
Just install LTSC 2019, it's objectively the best winblows version right now
Thanks
No, it's shit. Fuck off.
please don't forget to turn scheduled defragment off when using windows. it's nearly 2019 and defragment is on by default on any windows version.

How could you do this to your own family??
Bro one of them is using a 250gb IDE Samsung drive from like 2002.
They aren't going to care that their $30 SSD is made up of trash tier TLC 3D NAND. They just need chrome to get to YouTube without the HDD thrashing for 20 minutes. They don't even store anything on their PC, it will always be sitting at 30gb used.
Previously bought $27 64gb chink SSD for my dad's athlon II X2 250 HP system. He was constantly getting infested with porn viruses and Malwarebytes would take 5 hours to complete the scan. With the chink SSD it took only 2 minutes.
Windows 10 doesn’t.
>TLC 3D NAND
There's literally nothing wrong with that.
>tfw wanted to use my win7 install but of course some fucked up shit doesn't let you run win7 on new am4 boards with ryzen 2
bluescreening on bootup..fug..at least i went with win10 enterprise
yes it does. few weeks ago i installed win10 two times to different computers with ssd and defragment was scheduled by default. i downloaded iso from m$ server so it wasn't outdated.
What I did myself for my distro is just copy my linux partition with gparted. Am I fucked?
windows 10 is fine if you run tronscript
thats not true, win10 knows that there is an ssd and it won't defragment
>US$24
That model's 18$ here; so I bought a 960gb SSD for 50$ instead for storage, got an MX500 500gb at 79$ as for the OS
Windows has been able to detect SSDs since Wangblows 7 fuck off poojeet
you stupid nigger
that piece of shit SSD reads at 300mb/s at most
for literally the same money you could've gotten WD greens or crucial BXs, same potato quality but 500+ mb/s
retard
install adblock, pihole, restore image at every boot, keep another partition for personal files.
Extreme, but works.
My Dad has a 3770S system for emails and such. It ran decent, but we were having some problems with updates freezing.
I put an 860 Evo inside and did a fresh install. I also switched the from the stock cooler to a Hyper TX3 Evo. And for everything he does it feels like a brand new machine. Windows loads up in seconds and the system is a lot quieter now. I think the PSU makes more noise.
Totally worth it anons.
Can anyone tell me how those cheaper SSDs perform. I was going to get one but I wasn't sure which brand to trust since Kingston had that controversy a few years ago.
I have a question loosely related to this.
I hear Intel Optane is pretty good, but it only boosts performance after restarting and can actually be slower on first time load than not having Optane at all (at least that's what I got out of Linus' video). Does that then mean that I can get slow loading or stutter when loading content from a new patch for a game? Is it worth it for a WD Black (used to store games)?

It's not about the sustained read speeds you mong. It's the random reads and writes that make ssds "feel" so fast.
any non-QLC ssd from a reputable manufacturer is gonna perform almost identically to the next in sequential reads/writes
if that's all you care about then buy whatever capacity you feel like and enjoy.
If you moved your install from an HDD to an SSD then you should either enable continuous TRIM by adding the "discard" option in /etc/fstab or use fstrim to periodically trim your SSD. Make sure your SSD supports TRIM before attempting to do any of that though.

what a nice fucking non argument brainlet, those drives kick chinkton ass on every aspect
What do you mean non argument you retarded faggot. random reads is literally the reason why ssds are better than hdds. You can have an HDD with 10000gb/s sustained reads but if the random reads are worse than a bottom shelf SSD then it's still going to feel much slower in every day use.
seriously how stupid are you, do you only read the first half of my replies or something?
THE
WD GREEN
AND
CRUCIAL BX
ARE BETTER ON EVERY ASPECT
THAN THE CHINKTON SSDS
AT THE SAME PRICE
NO ONE IS DISCUSSING THE IMPORTANCE OF RANDOM READS
YOU MONGREL
>Is there any efficient way of copying the OS installation over to the new drive?
I used Maxium Reflect to clone my laptop HDD to an SSD. No issues. Even changed partition sizes.
You called him him a nigger for not picking a shitty spinning rust that's slow as fuck. This entire thread is about making old slow ass pcs feel like new by just slapping a cheap ass SSD in them you braindead piece of shit.
>DRAMless SSDs
I hope you're keeping a close eye on their drive health
OK now I know the problem, you thought I meant wd green HDDs instead of pic related. Dummy.
worse
are you honestly defending chinkton SSDs? they're proven to be literally the worst possible. Not only the hardware quality is dogshit but they're the slowest SSDs on the market. WD greens have equally dogshit build quality but at least they're fast.
We're not discussing "the best SSDs" here in case you haven't noticed. We all know Jewtel and Samshit make those.
just get a real SSD, what are you, poor?
oo
completely forgot that wd makes ssds.
I have SATA 2 interface on my board and SATA 3 SSD that does support TRIM. Is continuous or periodic TRIM more appropriate in this case?
I feel you, fucking micro$oft paid amd and intel to kill w7, for amd like this, for intel by stopping usb support..
I know there are workarounds but still annoying af.
Uh, yes? Linux live USB, use dd. Also, don't be retarded, check the disk devices twice before you run the dd command (check which SDX it is)
What's wrong with macrium reflect? You might need an USB to data adapter for that though
>Before SATA 3.1 all TRIM commands were non-queued, so continuous trimming would produce frequent system freezes. In this case, applying #Periodic TRIM less often is better alternative. Similar issue holds also for a number of devices, for which queued TRIM command execution was blacklisted due to serious data corruption. In such case, depending on the device, the system may be forced to send non-queued TRIM commands the SSD instead of queued TRIM. See Wikipedia:Trim (computing)#Shortcomings for details
I guess you should go with periodic TRIM.
I upgraded 3 old duo2cuo computers at work with $5 chink xeons and cheapo SSDs for shits and giggles.
>2 Channels ssd
Invest in something better
Use cloning software such as Easeus or Acronis True Image. We pay for a new version every year or two and has the ability to make a live CD so you don't have to boot to Windows first to use it
It's 20 where i live
Clonezilla
I fucking hate this windows 10 is bad XD meme. Just install LTSC to keep the bloatware out, it's literally better than 7 in every conceivable way
I'm not at all. They don't even store data on the PC, I basically back up their bookmarks and reformat the PC, and give it back with a fresh install.
These ssds could die a horrible death and it wouldn't matter. I'd just be plugging back in the HDD until another SSD comes.
I wouldn't use one of those ssds in my own PCs, but the PCs I give my family I hobo that shit up since it's free for them. It just needs to boot fast, and load a browser fast.
>duo2cuo
i first read it as core2duo, then i saw it was missing a letter and noticed the rest, how do you fuck up that bad
dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=64k status=progress
>it's literally better than 7 in every conceivable way
Nope, it's shit.
Jokes on you. Kingston just solder the boards. Nand are toshitba and controller is phison.
>reee 10 is shit
the consumer pleb versions suck, enterprise just works
No, it's still shit. I've tried all the meme-versions you shills recommend and they're all awful
w10 with bloat deactivated is literally w7 but better.
No, it's shit. Don't listen to this shill.
wait hold up, i played with the idea of buying a new budget pc, am i forced to use win10 with it ?
