Glad these prices are starting to come down, but that is still crazy. I bought the 2TB 9100 Pro (slightly more expensive version with PCIe 5.0) last year for $240. -

The 2TB Samsung 990 PRO NVMe SSD hits lowest price in over three months by Sayan Sen Yesterday, we covered a really good deal wherein you can get a 4TB TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 NVMe PCIe Gen4 SSD for a low price of just $400 with a special discount coupon. That's just $100 per TB, making it a very good offer during these hard times. The deal is still live, so you can check it out in its dedicated article here if you do not want to miss out. Meanwhile, if you don't have that kind of budget but still wish to buy an SSD for a good price, the 2TB variant of the TeamGroup SSD at $280 its lowest price in over three months. Meanwhile, those seeking 2TB but faster performance can check out Samsung's 990 PRO, which has hit the lowest price also in the last quarter or so, as it's on sale for $370 (purchase links under the specs table down below). Thus, you want a faster drive, get the 990 Pro, or you want more capacity, grab the TeamGroup 4TB linked in the first para. The 990 PRO is a PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD and still one of the fastest drives available today for under $500. Speaking of fast, sequential reads and writes are rated at 7450 MB/s and 6900 MB/s, respectively. The random throughputs for reads and writes are 1400K IOPS and 1550K IOPS, respectively. The 990 PRO is based on Samsung's 7th Gen V-NAND flash, and it too is TLC. It packs 2 gigs of LPDDR4 DRAM cache, which helps the random performance. The endurance rating for this is 1200 TBW (terabytes written), which should be sufficient for most users. The Samsung 990 PRO is compatible with the PlayStation 5, but if you are going to use the 990 PRO on a PC, check out the Samsung Magician app that lets you track your drive's health, update its firmware, customize various settings, and more. The tech specs are given below: Specification TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 2TB Samsung 990 PRO 2TB Interface PCIe 4.0 x4, NVMe 1.4 PCIe Gen 4.0 x4, NVMe 2.0 Form Factor M.2 2280 M.2 2280 Controller InnoGrit Controller Samsung In-house Controller NAND Flash 3D TLC 3D TLC DRAM Cache None (HMB supported) 2GB LPDDR4 Sequential Read (Max) 5,000 MB/s 7,450 MB/s Sequential Write (Max) 4,500 MB/s 6,900 MB/s Random Read (4K) Up to 600,000 IOPS Up to 1,400,000 IOPS Random Write (4K) Up to 700,000 IOPS Up to 1,550,000 IOPS TBW (Endurance) 1,300 TBW 1,200 TBW MTBF 3,000,000 hours 1,500,000 hours Operating Temperature 0°C to 70°C 0°C to 70°C Storage Temperature -40°C to 85°C -40°C to 85°C Shock Resistance 1,500G / 0.5ms 1,500G / 0.5ms Heatsink Patented Graphene Heat Spreader No Get them at the links below: Samsung 990 PRO SSD 2TB (MZ-V9P2T0B/AM): $369.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) TEAMGROUP T-Force G50 2TB SSD (TM8FFE002T0C129): $279.99 (Sold by TeamGroup, Shipped by Amazon US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

If you can't spell a simple word that 2nd graders learn, your entire argument is suspect. -

And here goes the "Won't someone think of the children" brigade. Get stuffed mate. This has NOTHING to do with making the internet safe. It's about tracking adults, spying on your online activity, and sending the boys around when they don't like something you post. Also, again, parliament have voted TWICE against this, and Starmer is going ahead anyway. THAT is anti-democratic bullsh**. They will use this law to track you, they will use this law to control you, and they will use this law to punish you if they don't like what you do, even if it's legal. And your data? Say bye bye to that. It'll be on the darkweb in weeks. I'm not some rando online. I've been an IT professional for 40 years, many of it in security. I know exactly what this means and what will happen to your data. I do not consent and I will not comply. -

"...but it may not be Microsoft's fault" seems like a reasonable way to tease what is going on without leaving the user with a false impression that an update is the problem. A title isn't a summery, it is meant to entice the user to read the article. It should not contain a misleading premise; which this title does not. You could maybe complain that the first paragraph should have included that detail. The writing style popularized over 100 years ago in newspapers will cover the most important information as soon as possible with details and nuance added later; the idea being that with each new paragraph you have less of the reader's focus.

Question
devnulllore
Hi
I was absolutely not sure where to post this. It could be a software issue, a Windows issue or a hardware issue, so I thought I'd start here. An apology if this is the wrong place.
On my father?s system he uses Acronis True Image to do his backups, Kudos to him I say. But recently he had to restore a backup and he started it in the normal fashion by running the Windows 7 client and choosing the image and letting it restart etc... However whenever he does it that way instead of it starting the restore he gets a 'non system disk' error.
We were still able to boot into the current install if he reboots after that but he could not restore this way. If we used the Acronis restore CD however the restore went fine. He even tried restoring both the MBR and Disk Signature but still whenever he tries to start a restore from the Windows client he gets the disk error after it reboots.
Is this a general MBR corruption problem? If so how can we fix it? If not any ideas on what is going on?
He has a home built PC with Windows 7 SP1 x64 Ultimate. 2 SATA III HDs each on a separate channel, they are WD Caviar 1 gigs and were originally partitioned, formatted and installed all by the original Windows disk. He does not have a ton of stuff installed on it, other than the stuff that comes with Windows, he has MS Office 2010 Standard, Norton 360 v.6, Adobe CS5.5, Firefox, Acronis 2012, Perfect Disk 12.5, MS Money and a few other small things I am not even sure he uses much. Nothing that I am personally aware of that could corrupt a disk. He uses NO registry cleaners and only used Windows Disk Cleaner before using Perfect Disk then doing a backup with Acronis.
He is very good with his system which is why I can't understand it. We called Western Digital and they would not help because the warranty on these drives JUST wore out, literally 2 weeks ago, and they are usually very good about helping people. All they said was to download the WD DIAG tools. We did and both drives passed fine.
Wasn't sure if he screen shot would help, it's pretty lame just a snap of the error, but he insisted I include it.
Not sure of the next move. :s
Cheers,
