    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.

    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 How fast is my file being written to my SSD? :) 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
