Review on 💾 Samsung 960 EVO Series 250GB PCIe NVMe M.2 Internal SSD (MZ-V6E250BW) - Boost Your SEO by Christopher Karamba

I am using this on a new build to replace my 10 year old system (i7-920, P6t Mobo) and it works great. You should enjoy the instant boot from an SSD. Even cooler is how quickly you can start your antivirus. Checking for updates takes longer than running a scan. I booted the OS to an SSD and used a regular HDD to store everything else. Windows has a settings page where you can choose where you want to store your music, documents, etc. on C(your SSD) or D(your hard drive). Or you can just right click on these folders > Properties > Location and change C to D. Here are a few things to look out for if you're not as familiar with SSDs as I am. - You must FULLY insert it into the M.2 slot even when the screw hole is aligned and ready for the screw. If you still see gold pins in the slot, it's not deep enough. I've spent hours trying to figure out why it's not showing up in the BIOS. You need to go to "Disk Management" and right click on it "New Simple Volume" and format it. I had to watch several videos before I found one that explains this. When I tried to install Win10 it kept saying it couldn't be installed because this disk was GPT so go back to YouTube to find out. Turns out you want GPT, but until you set the BIOS to load advanced UEFI settings, the BIOS tells Windows you need the legacy settings on your drive (you don't want that) . I finally found "Load UEFI Default Settings" in my BIOS and then it worked. After installing Windows, the boot screen kept asking me which volume to boot from (huh?). It turns out that if you have an HDD connected, Windows has a mind of its own and ignores you putting the SSD on first boot priority. It puts "Load Control" on your hard drive and the rest of Windows on the SSD. (Damn Microsoft). Alright, disconnect all hard drives, leaving only the SSD, and reinstall Windows. By the way, if Windows creates a partition on a disk that you don't want, you can't just format it to make it disappear. You need to go to Disk Management, find the partition, right click on it and find Delete Volume. After that, right-click it again to select "New Simple Volume" and a wizard window will appear to guide you from there.
