Well, sorry to add to your misery, I can tell you that the last rig I worked on a few weeks ago, had the same drive in it, and was brought to me because it suddenly failed to boot, seemingly for no reason..... I went thru a few hours of diagnostics using various apps & test processes, after...

scrunch, scrunch, sizzle, sizzle, poof poof... been there, done that, neva again ! get ready.... you're welcome :D

Thanks for the offer, but I stopped using wired periphs over 15 years ago, & I aint gonna go back now :)

nope... notta...... no way, 'Jose......... I'm pretty sure I can find far better things to drop $100 on, but "to each his/her own" as they say :D

Bummer, if these were of the tail-free variety, I would probably snatch 'em up, but I don't do wires, so that's not happenin, but GLWS :D

I remember what some folks at work used to say fairly often: "You smoke, you die" "You smoke near your pc, it dies, then you die too" If you must smoke while using your pc, then do it a favor & go outside, or at least go into a different room & close the door...or better just quit :D I know...

I had that issue too, and discovered what was causing it, at least part of it anyways: Every single app is set as100% active all the time, with all background processes running wide open with all permissions on by default, and no limits whatsoever.... I had to go through every single app...

As with most things 'puter-related, the usual advice applies: If you NEED it now, buy it now...if not, then don't & wait, but by Q4/25, more newer betta stuff will be out or forthcoming in 26-27, so then you will be right back in the same place as you are now.... but good luck with whatever...

Soooooo, to summarize/translate: A bunch of gammin optimizations, that should have been there from day 1 but were not....that and a few bug fixes thrown in for good measure S/n/O/o/Z/e :D

Same here. I have been using 850X's exclusively since they came out (and the 750X's before that) in both my personal rigs & client builds too, as OS and storage drives, neveranottaproblemo whatsoever.....and the majority of my clients are CAD/imaging/database pro's that thrash on them hard for...

"Stupid is as stupid does" - Forest...Forest Gump 'nuff said :D

Looks nice, however, TT has the "Commander" fan controller that fits perfectly in that 5.25 slot in the front, and will allow you digitally control up to 10 fans (2 on each connector), which is what I did with mine back in the day :)

Been there, done that, too many times to count....neveranottaproblemo :) I just love those little Elite boxes, so nice & compact, and reasonable performance for just a little $$, which is 100% ideal for office/POS apps....My wife uses 1 for her WFH healthcare stuff, and I have a few as spares...

Perhaps it's not faster than the 990P, but the 850X is at least as fast....within in a few MB/s anyways. And seeins how both are gen 4 drives rated for 7450/6900MB/s, I doubt that most average users could tell the difference anyways.... Hell, even on my slightly dated 11G mini-me box, I still...

Oh my, if only it wasn't a greenie, I'd be all over this :) GLWS !
