    Seeking guidance on storage disk allocation/use and best clone and data migration options onto new SSDs

    I do have one of these in the cupboard already, running in RAID. Though yes maybe make a second one, thank you I have made a Recovery disk and tried it out, where it takes you into a GUI environment. One thing I left out from original post was consideration of imaging versus cloning, when...

    Seeking guidance on storage disk allocation/use and best clone and data migration options onto new SSDs

    Of note I followed the link you gave earlier https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/macrium_reflect_free_edition.html Which version are you using then

    Seeking guidance on storage disk allocation/use and best clone and data migration options onto new SSDs

    Which option here? Should it be ISO file then put that to USB disk? (not sure I want to amend the boot menu for this?) Also 1. Rapid delta worth it? I am not sure I follow it's comments. It says only copy the differences. One drive is full one is empty, that's the difference!? What else is...

    Seeking guidance on storage disk allocation/use and best clone and data migration options onto new SSDs

    Thank you for the suggestion on the software Concerning the recovery do you mean a stock boot/install image onto USB?

    Seeking guidance on storage disk allocation/use and best clone and data migration options onto new SSDs

    Have recently invested in some new SSDs. In effect I am trying to consolidate and with aim to be Solid state only That said I may if only for a time, keep at least one HDD in play(TBD) My setup is as follows C: SSD 2TB - Windows, high profile games, some packages and testing/programming...

    New Ryzen build - system freezes - not the a-typical black screen or WHEA

    After some more tedious testing, it seems this is the cause I thought I had disabled it prior (and likely I did - though probably enabled it again in haste or by accident )

    Sandybridge era build - weighing pros cons of new platform versus a GPU upgrade

    The videos are OK, rather the 3d application/games is what loses out I suppose it could go both ways though when watching say a 4k Movie and trying to game, the video might be choppy. For GPU my path forward is likely waiting for 4070 to permeate through the market for half a year or so then...

    Sandybridge era build - weighing pros cons of new platform versus a GPU upgrade

    I see what you mean now For comparison then here is the multi for 2600k Howdy I am still working through some troubles/difficulties with system freezing following the build However have done a fair amount of various games/3D applications and the answer is yes a lot, yes some, none at all...

    New Ryzen build - system freezes - not the a-typical black screen or WHEA

    I like this idea and I did consider it, however the internal GPU may not be able to load some games/3D programs? making it unable to recreate the scenario. Something I'll have look into again

    New Ryzen build - system freezes - not the a-typical black screen or WHEA

    Thanks One thing I didn't mention in my post (although I cannot modify /edit any posts now today....) is that I BIOS flashed successfully to their 1.21 which was created to address the SoC voltage issue on AMD motherboards 1. Update AGESA ComboAM5 1.0.0.6. 2. Improve memory compatibility. 3...

    New Ryzen build - system freezes - not the a-typical black screen or WHEA

    Hear you on that, I did exactly that - got installed to a reasonable 'baseline' I haven't restored to that date though - will mention in original post Should I make a restore point now, will windows allow me to go back then forward again ? I have another PSU however it's older I am also...

    New Ryzen build - system freezes - not the a-typical black screen or WHEA

    Aye, I have Updated post above to include this now And it may not be the browser, just seems that whenever this happens it is open versus when it's not open I cannot recall this happening Though still going to try again this weekend for another long stint of several hours with no browsers open

    New Ryzen build - system freezes - not the a-typical black screen or WHEA

    It is definitely more on the lower cycle/idle side Keep in mind I am not black screening, it's freezing yet all visuals are still on screen I am mindful about the GPU however it was the same one I had in previous build where this behavior did not exist. I'll take your point about the hard...

    New Ryzen build - system freezes - not the a-typical black screen or WHEA

    After some great advisement by fellow members, I have recently platform JUMPED (ok that might be extreme) from Sandybridge to AM5 And while it's pretty much been good overall, I am stumped about system crashing that is occurring I might have to update this post as I go as I will invariably...
