I am actually currently running it as my games drive in my blade 18 and in day to day use I have not experienced any issues or had the palm rest heating up. I cannot advise on the blade 16 as that one has 2 drives stacked but on my blade 16 which has two drives installed again, it didnt seem to make any difference. My blade 16 left palm rest gets hot regardless with heavy gaming but not in general use

@@mashextra Thanks! Tho it is strange that it's your left palm rest that gets warm, as on my unit, the right palm rest gets warm under regular use cases.

Thanks mate, just got the deathadder v3 hyper speed in so that’s next!

Ok, clone was successful and both drives show the OS on it, Drive 0 is OS (C) and new drive 1 OS (D). The Samsung Magician software seems to have not removed the data on old drive even though it said it was going to. So same question as above, I think I can just format the C drive right now in disk management and wipe it clean, and run the OS on D, and saving me from opening up the laptop again? I could even change the drive letters in disk management if I want to keep "C" as the drive letter? Seems like a no brainer to me...?

When you clone the drive it never removes the old drives data. Most people keep the old drive as a backup. You don’t need to move the drive to the primary slots on most modern computers as they are usually 2 x gen 4 slots these days. Only reason I swap them over on the blade is because I remove the original 1tb drive and put in 2x 4tb drives. Hope this makes sense

sorry MT

Just ordered the one with a heatsink as i saw in other video's that it would be easy to remove the heatsink. So i just try fitting it with the heatsink, and if it wont fit cos of the laptop being too thin, then i just remove the heatsink. So that can cost me 30 Euro, but worth the gamble may it fit and keep the M2 cooler. I can fit 2 M2 discs in my laptop and will so figure using heatsinks may be helpful as 2 of them doubles the heat inside of my laptop. So figure best put this one in my empty 2nd M2 connector to see if it fits, then at a later time open it again and update the system drive and ram that i also want to upgrade to 64 GB to make it a good music production laptop. Think i will use this Lexar as my soundbanks drive and later upgrade the os drive now 500 GB M2 to or another lexar or the 990 4 TB Samsung. But first testing the Lexar and seeing if these heatsinks fit as i never changed an M2 or worked with heatsinks. Hope my virtual windows will also be able to read my 2nd M2 then i should be able to use my soundbank drive on my real windows 11 AND the windows 10 that i run on virtual windows as some Music making tools run better on Win 10. Also never tried that as i normally just use an external USB drive with Virtual windows if i need to use a big soundbank. Just handier to have some TB inside the laptop and i can always just take the soundbank M2 out and put it in a new laptop. So figure it be a useful investment.

all teh drives that are supplied with heatsinks are too thick as they are made for desktops. some laptops provide the heatsinks on teh spare slots and the laptops that dont I buy copper heatsink plates from amazon. The gen 4 drives really do need a heatsink as they do run hot

@@mashextra Thanks, ok then i just do not screw the heatsink on, and put it in my laptop without a heatsink. Then test run it for a while and if i get to high temperatures then i give those coper plates a look and add them ones i do my next upgrade when adding my 2nd 4 TB m2 system drive and up my ram to 64 GB. I just want to upgrade it to the max as most times i keep working on my computers for 5-8 years before buying a new one. AND i can just take the drives out and put them in a to come new computer. So seems the best choice to put 2 M2 of 4 TB each in it, and max out the ram, makes the laptop easier to sell in the future and its only 60 or so more compared to 32 gb upgrade. Thanks for your advice, then i wasted 30 bucks, but heck then i can use the heatsink if i ever want to put it in a PC. Having the spare parts can come in handy ! One problem fixed Up to the next as my usb-C port does not send out the VGA signal to hook up a 2nd external screen. The HDMI port gives me a 2nd desktop, but i want to try to get a 3th desktop. I expected my laptop to send out desktop 1 to an external screen through my Usb-C port. But the internal GPU does not send its signal out only the gamer GPU that sends out HDMI for desktop 2. But just found there may be external GPU-Adapters that may give me that 3th Desktop. Its just for music making so not gaming, thus do not need great picture quality, just to have synthesizers on different screens then the arranging-recording program. Figure this 40 bucks tool may do the trick, so checking that out next. StarTech USB to VGA adapter

are they the same size drives?

@@mashextra No wd is 1tb and samsung 990 pro is 2tb

no. get the non heatsink version. The HS version is too thick for a laptop

or you running in Optimus mode or dedicated GPU mode? that makes a massive difference

@@mashextra I'm using the discrete GPU RTX 4060. dGPU Mode in Vantage and in Performance Mode, still can't get that high fps stability.

correct and the windows key is tied to your motherboard so will still be activated

Gen 4 drives run hot but not that hot :) if the drive ever gets too it throttles to reduce the temps

💀

yes it has new triple shock implementation

sorry for slow response, I have been away! I think we are so close to 5000 series it may be worth waiting. If you are set on getting a 4080 though, this is a great card to get

Same

I came across the same issue, i followed the directions and every step and it still comes out blank

I thought I remembered reading somewhere that the Samsung software really only works well with Samsung drives. I know there's other programs (Acronis??) that will essentially do the exact thing, regardless of drive brand.

oh no way, that is a real shame as it was an incredibly popular printer!

I guess you mean by filling it up with movies and plugging into the USB port? As long as you have a modern TV it certainly should.
