NVME Generated Heat
During Fall 2019 I tried many heat-sinks on an EVO plus 970 500GB
the result is that when the m.2 module is used the only really effective cooling method is air flow.
===================================================
Get Max benefit from NVME m.2 SSD
In Bios: set ‘Max Link Speed” (the speed of PCIe) to Automatic or Gen3; this means PCIe 3.0
Evo 970 NVME (3500 MB/s) on PCIe card works well even when it is in PCIeX4 slot
(3500 MB/s) is less than the channel throughput 3.94GB/s
| PCI Express version |
Transfer rate[i] |
Throughput[i] | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ×1 | ×2 | ×4 | ×8 | ×16 | ||
| 1.0 | 2.5 GT/s | 250 MB/s | 0.50 GB/s | 1.0 GB/s | 2.0 GB/s | 4.0 GB/s |
| 2.0 | 5.0 GT/s | 500 MB/s | 1.0 GB/s | 2.0 GB/s | 4.0 GB/s | 8.0 GB/s |
| 3.0 | 8.0 GT/s | 984.6 MB/s | 1.97 GB/s | 3.94 GB/s | 7.88 GB/s | 15.75 GB/s |
| 4.0 | 16.0 GT/s | 1969 MB/s | 3.94 GB/s | 7.88 GB/s | 15.75 GB/s | 31.51 GB/s |
PCIe 4.0 x4 (7.88 GBPS)=63 gbps > PCIe 3.0 x4 (3.94 GBps) =31. 5gbps
PCIe 3.0 X1= 984.6GBPS*8= 7.8 gbps is better than USB 3.0 5gb/s
PCIe 3.0 X2 =2GB/s=16gbps is better than USB 3.1 =10gb/s
Check the mother board manual for the SATA connectors you can use if you use an M.2 connector.
For example in Giga Byte GA-Z170X if Both m.2 sockets are used only SATA4 and SATA 5 connectors can be used for other SATA harddisks
970 EVO Plus 1TB Sequential read and write performance levels of up to 3,500MB/s and 3,300MB/s
Samsung 980 PRO read speeds up to 7,000 MB/s with 7000*8=56gbps < PCIe 4.0 x4 (7.88 GBPS)=63 gbps Good
========================================================
Taking Care of LI-Ion Batteries:
1. Full charge the battery to 100%.
If the charging stops at any point (not reaching 100%), turn off your laptop, remove and reinsert the battery and it should continue charging.
2. Unplug the power adapter and the let it run until the computer power down by itself.
3. Your battery will need 3-4 times full charge and discharge cycle to optimize the performance, gauge should be reasonably accurate.
4. Perform a full charge and discharge cycle every 2- 3 month to keep the gauge accurate.
5. If you will not be using the battery for a long time (1 month or above), please charge the battery to 50% level and remove it from the computer.
6. Keep the battery away from heat. For example: in a car under the sun or above the radiator/furnace.

BAD
Logitech M500 free scroll stopped working before two years.
Vantec USB 3 hub is not reliable I tested that with many computers.
I bought three 32GB kingston flash drives from staples; all three had problems, corrupt files, I will avoid their products.
