Windows 10: How fast is my file being written to my SSD?

Hello everyone

I was wondering, how long it takes, from when I push “save” in MS Paint to a PNG file is written to my SSD.
The filesize is about 7 kilobytes.

The file is being written to a “full” / “used” SSD, by that I mean, the SSD reads the “free” block into memory, then adds the new pages and then writes the whole block again, with the additional pages.

See for further explanation: https://www.extremetech.com/extreme/210492-extremetech-explains-how-do-ssds-work

Part: Read, Writes, and Erasure also the shown model

No heavy using software is running meanwhile.
There have never been signs of slow or worn out hardware.

Here are my specs:
MB1151 Asus PRIME B250M-A
Intel Core i5-7500
DDR4-2400 8GB Corsair Vengeance RAM
SSD Samsung 850 EVO 250GB 2,5" SSD
9 Nvidia Asus GTX 1060 6GB Expedition
PSU Corsair VS550 550W 80+
Windows 10 D-OEM Home

I really hope, that some of you, can come with a roughly time. I know there are my factors, and it is hard to come with a qualified guess.

I am looking forward to your answers!

Best regards

:)

 

SSD storage keeps filling up on its own

Hi Ash,

There's a possibility that the files are just hidden. As an initial troubleshooting, we suggest following the steps below on how to display hidden files that's eating space of your SSD:

• On the Search bar, type folder, and then select
  Show hidden files and folders from the search results.
• Under Advanced settings, select Show hidden files, folders, and drives,
  and then select OK.

Keep us in the loop with the result.

 

Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.


Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Best regards.


And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.

 

Uber file server build -- suggestions

Uber file server build -- suggestions?

I'm currently in the process of buying stuff for my file server build. Going to try and keep this build all in one thread this time.

Stuff already bought:

• 
  Motherboard (socket 1155 H61)
  RAM (1600MHz)
  PCI SATA cards
  Operating System (Windows 8 + FreeNAS)
  SSD
  CPU (35w Pentium Ivybridge 2.6GHz)

Looking for suggestions on:

• 
  GPU -- use the on-die GPU or buy a PCI-E graphics card (was thinking of a 7750)? My only requirement is that it is able to run 1080p mkv files and play Blurays without a problem.
  Case -- needs to hold as many 3.5" drives as humanly possible (more than 10 at least), while not being too expensive
  PSU -- needs to be able to run over 40 SATA HDDs as well as 6xPCI RAID cards and 1xPCI-E 2.0 RAID card. Silver, Gold or Platinum?
  CPU Cooler -- fanless or not?
  Case fans

That's all I can think of for now...unless I'm forgetting something...oh and one more thing -- I will be buying the hard drives two at a time as I run out of space. Also the PCI-E RAID card will be bought a lot later down the line, as I've only just got enough hard drives for 1 out of 6 of my PCI SATA cards.

Any suggestions, feel free to post. Thanks
