My NVMe Needs - Part 6 (Final): Samsung Magician & HWiNFO Softwares [Apr 25th, 2023]

Hello, April! This is it! Here's final part (Part 6) of my of “My NVMe Needs“ (this time, without my paper dolls 😅). 😊

And in this part, I'm installing two monitoring stats & other memory tool purposes, the Samsung Magician & the HWiNFO. 🙂🖥️⚙️🔢

If you haven't seen my two previous post(s) & other ones (that we're related), then I'll provide some links down below. ↓

• Part 1: Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus NVMe M.2 SSD (1TB) Review [Apr 7th, 2023]

• Part 2: Thermalright M.2 2280 Pro Review [Apr 11th, 2023]

• Part 3: Installation and trial & error [Recorded on Apr 21st, 2023] (published: Apr 22nd, 2023)

• Part 4: Another Trial & Error [Apr 21st, 2023] (published: Apr 22nd, 2023

• *Part 5: Timing comparison - HDD vs SSD NVMe M.2 Drive [Apr 25th, 2023]*

So, without further ado, let’s get started:

My Recorded & Edited Video (using Filmora 9): (pls watch) ↑ 🎦✏️🖥️

• First off is the "Samsung Magician", a monitoring software tool used for legitimate Samsung memory products exclusively (e.g. QVOs, EVOs, PROs, 870, 970, 980, 990). It'll give information about your recent memory drive stats, test some benchmarks, diagnose your drives, and even link "Data Migration" (software) to form one working software, and so much more to do. One con, I would say is my NVMe didn't recognize the authentication after re-install & restart my PC to unlock the real performance stats. Considering, that my purchased NVMe stick is 100% genuine, I just don't understand what's the situation though. Maybe I'll wait for the future update, soon? Who knows?

BTW: If you want more about it, then please → [CLICK ME!].

• However, there's another software that I can take a deeper look at my NVMe's stats, so let's bring out the "HWiNFO". Unlike "Samsung Magician", this software can monitor pretty much any internal component not just memory-based drives but also Graphics Card, CPU Chip, Motherboard, etc. And also, not just Samsung, but also other brands can recognize, too. Although, it can't do much as the "Samsung Magician", the "HWiNFO" will sense the voltage, rating speed, health, and even temperature of the computer's internal component(s). For instance, my 970 EVO Plus has a decent accuracy of 50°C compared to 51°C from the "Samsung Magician", and so far, no faulty & failure signs of SSD warning. Everyday, I open this monitoring software to check my computer stats just in case someone makes hot during either opening window task(s) or playing PC games. If somethings wrong, then I have to something about it, but as of now, everything seems to be fine.

Overall & Final remarks:

• So far, this is the most ambitious & most satisfying thing I've ever done this year. I've been stuck on physical HD for years. Since 2006, we're always provided physical hard drives as our main source of computer OS & storage purposes. In fact, in my elementary days, I had never seen or heard about "Solid State Drives", I mean nobody uses SSD only rich people can afford the premium SSDs. Nowadays, the SSDs & NVMe we're spread across the globe, and they became the standard of all existing computers. Best of all, random brands are now making cheap SSDs & NVMEs compared to the well-known competitive brands such as Samsung, Adata, Corsair, Western Digital, Sandisk, and more. But, should you buy cheap alternatives or well-known trusted brands? You decide. And let's not forget about the capacity size, they're arranged from less than 64GB of SSDs/NVMEs for a fair cheaper price to the overly expensive price of 1TB to a massive 8TB of SSDs/NVMEs. So, choose wisely if you're planning to get yourself a perfect SSD/NVMe brand(s). And if you're planning to get a NVMe M.2 Drive be sure to purcahse a separate heat sink or a built-in counterpart.

• But, as for me, I purchased Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus & the Thermalright M.2 2280 Pro Heat Sink separately, and combine these two into one custom. Overall, so far, I am certified as "Worth it" because I dream to get my hands on a high-performance SSD than a slower physical hard drive. And with two monitoring & diagnostic software(s) on my computer, I could always check the stats of my NVMe stick, alongside other functional PC internal components (motherboard, graphics card, etc.). I hope my NVMe stick never dies from my progress.

Well, that's the end of my topic!

I did something I haven’t done in a long time: I built a computer from parts. It’s a miniITX chassis made from low/mid-priced parts in a minimalist case with a handle. I set it up first to test TrueNAS but then I’ll wipe it and set it up to be dual boot Windows 11 / Linux system. This is second nature to me as I put this together without any instructions (except when I had to look up where to connect the power button because I couldn’t read the text on the motherboard). . . #diycomputer #diy #miniitx #miniitxbuild @amd #nvme #truenas #nas (at Beaverton, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiqHbMCvK3C/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

PowerEdge R6615 Rack Server: Dell PowerEdge Servers

PowerEdge Servers Scale Up or Out with AMD-Powered Servers Dell PowerEdge R6615 is built to reduce footprint while maximizing efficiency and performance. It is equipped with AMD’s fourth generation EPYC CPUs.

When was the last time that only extremely large organizations were concerned about big data? Or back when artificial intelligence wasn’t so much a sensible business plan as science fiction? IT teams are under increased pressure to strengthen their data centre, cloud, and edge processing capabilities because most businesses today use AI and big data to innovate and preserve their competitive advantage.

Dell PowerEdge Servers Processing power-hungry big data and real-time AI usually require more servers, which means higher energy consumption and more time spent on hardware maintenance. All of that is intended to change with the most recent generation of Dell PowerEdge servers, which feature AMD’s fourth-generation EPYC processing technology. The new PowerEdge servers with AMD technology are small, light-weight, scalable, and easy to maintain. They are perfect for companies that have to balance scalability and sustainability.

Secret! Hello, young one! Do you want to disassemble some iPhones? That being said, did you know that the storage chips in current iPhones are based on PCIe, or more precisely, NVMe? If that is the case, have you considered sniffing those messages? You can stop wondering now because this research team demonstrates how they tapped them using an FPC BGA interposer on an iPhone 6S, which was the first iPhone to use NVMe-based storage. The study, conducted by [Mohamed Amine Khelif], [Jordane Lorandel], and [Olivier Romain], explains the ins and outs of accessing the NVMe chip, assuming that you are familiar with BGA soldering and possibly have an X-ray machine on hand to look for errors. As the investigation went on, they were able to successfully remove the memory chip by handling the subtleties of BGA soldering and underfill. They also added a 1:1 interposer FR4 board for the first test, which was successful. After soldering the flash chip on top of an FPC interposer that also taps into the signal and data pins, they were able to successfully boot the iPhone 6S and scope the data lines for our viewing. We are eagerly awaiting more findings, as this appears to be the start of an enjoyable platform for reverse-engineering iOS or iPhone hardware! This team of researchers in particular is prolific, having already been poking at things like MITM attacks on I2C and PCIe, as well as IoT device and smartphone security research. We haven’t seen any Eagle CAD files for the interposers published, but thankfully, most of the know-how is about the soldering technique, and the paper describes plenty. Want to learn more about these chips? We’ve covered a different hacker taking a stab at reusing them before. Or perhaps you would like to know NVMe in more depth. If so, we’ve got just the article for you.

Ein bisschen Technik für freie Tage

Vielleicht ein Technik-Weekend? Ich bin ja durch bestimmte Erlebnisse beim Planen von Dingen ziemlich vorsichtig geworden, gerade was Technik angeht. Gerade an freien Tagen wie dem Wochenende oder im Urlaub beweist die Realität nicht selten, dass sie überhaupt nicht davon beeindruckt ist, wenn das Menschlein selber eigene Ideen hat(te). Irgendwann Da man aber den Elektronikfreak aus mir wohl doch…

My NVMe Needs - Part 4: Another Trial & Error (w/ my paper dolls) [Recorded on Apr 21st, 2023]

So, here’s Part 4 of “My NVMe Needs“ (featuring my paper dolls). 😁 Actually, this is Part 2 of 2 videos that I've recorded, yesterday (April 21st, 2023).

For this continuation, I'm attempting another try & hopefully will succeed in the migration. Plus, I'll reveal the benchmarks using helpful software (which, I won't mention the name until the end). No, not the "Samsung Magician"; not yet though, I'll save it, but rather something else. You'll see. 😉

If you haven't seen my previous part & other ones (that related), then I'll provide some links down below: ↓

• Part 1: Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus NVMe M.2 SSD (1TB) Review [Apr 7th, 2023]

• Part 2: Thermalright M.2 2280 Pro Review [Apr 11th, 2023]

*• Part 3: Installation and trial & error [Recorded on Apr 21st, 2023] (published: Apr 22nd, 2023)*

So, without further ado, let's continue we left of:

✋ HOLD IT! (AGAIN!)✋

• Okay so before I discuss my experience, let's discuss my recording process. I have 17 recorded videos 🎦📲on my smartphone (the Honor 8C), one of which is from the VLC media player 🎦🖥️. However, squeezing 17 videos in one package wouldn't fit in my (Tumblr) post 😕, so I decided to slice it in half to make a minimum of 500 MB per video post 🪓, not to mention, the adjustments, speeding up the process, and adding subtitles. 🎦✏️🖥️ And thus, I made two videos. It took 7 hours to finish these videos between 7 PM to 2 AM (Apr 21st to 22nd). And man, I'm all relieved after editing. So much so, I want a take a break after this, but I can't because I want to end my ambitious topic sooner before celebrating my birthday, next month (May 6th). Regardless, at least I'm all done with editing, and all was left is to type in with my thoughts. And uhh, if you see me shirtless, then my apologies for that, I completely forgot to wear a shirt before recording. lol 😅 Plus, it's damn heat season in my country (The Philippines), so it's hard enough to sweat my glands while progressing (, both daylight & night), you know. 🥵☀️ Anyways, let's get over with...

My Recorded & Edited Video (using Filmora 9): (pls watch) ↑ 🎦✏️🖥️

• So, in second attempt, you noticed the total memory size was decreased by 789 bytes than before. Here, I have some photos, right here. ↓ [pls see my 12th & 13th image(s)]

• Sadly, the third attempt was another failure despite the 250+ GB won't handle the migration. And uh, did I mention the writing rate is slow from the physical drive? Yeah, I could see that. However, there's a solution to that. So, let's proceed to these images. ↓ [pls see 14th & 15th image(s)]

• Alright, third attempt time! And you noticed I reduced the memory size to 150+ GB because I uninstalled larger files/apps. But wait, what are the larger files/apps that I've uninstalled? Well, 2 PC games. One is what I actively played [CLICK ME! #1], while the other is not [CLICK ME! #2] because I suck at playing it. But, is still a great game though (you should check it out at #2). Nonetheless, after it reach 99%, it was a success! And I immediately click the button to shut down the PC! *sigh* Yes! Rejoice!

16th & 17th Image(s): ↑

• Next, I turn on the PC once more & press F12 to access the boot menu. There, I swap my old physical drive to my NVMe M.2 drive as my new main boot before I save & click the new main boot from the "Boot Override" list. Then it restarts my PC, but there's a problem... It did not work well! I'm not sure what happened, so I have another round of manual troubleshooting (Round 2). After a couple of minutes, I fire up my PC & it finally worked! It boost very quickly than before until another problem came out to smash my monitor's face, it blacked out! (no pun intended) Round 3 for manual troubleshooting! I'm starting to get frustrated, but I won't give up on my PC. With blood, sweat & tears in my body, my PC has finally worked! And it was worth the hard for me!

18th & 19th Image(s): ↑

• Now, I was gonna install a leftover cooling fan from a brand called "DeepCool", but I'm having trouble my PC, a couple of times. Installing a cooling fan (whether 4 fans or more) is an essential requirement to keep our internal board (CPU, Graphics Card, NVMe) from overheating for a long period. And it sucks without it. *sigh* But don't worry, I'll be targeting & browsing a new spanking PC tower case, very soon. As well as a brand new power supply, too. My paper dolls approves my idea.

My Benchmarks: ↑

• Let's proceed with another test (that I've promised). This is the so-called "helpful software" that I was talking about. I would like to introduce the "CrystalDiskMark", a read/write memory testing software. Some of you may familiar with it, but others not so much. Nonetheless, these are the four benchmarks that I've tested, including my recent Samsung 970 EVO Plus NVMe, which has the most readable & writable rated speeds of the four memory-based drives, with the bottom right being the least, and that's the Seagate Barracuda 7200 HD. That's the reason why I struggle with playing games or waiting to boot using an old & slow physical drive. Not only that but the multiple windows & tasks that sometimes can't handle. I could relate to that situation though. But thanks to the supreme performance of the NVMe M.2 drives, it can handle pretty much anything, including PC games that are larger files (particularly AAA game titles). However, running large-size PC games means overheating the NVMe's processing unit & other chips, making it stressful on your gaming PC, and that brings it with the introduction of the heat sink for NVMe, which can dissipate the heat & prevent overheating the NVMe's processor & chips. Sure, it may not need it for your NVMe sticks, but we need to keep our memory-based drives & our PC itself top-shaped without any signs of error, not to mention longer period. And that make sense, you know.

Side Note: It said, that the Samsung 970 EVO Plus delivers a sequential read & writes of 3,500 MB/s & 3,300 MB/s respectively. And according to my benchmark test, I would say a solid promise. Even though, the write rate was almost 3,300 MB/s-ish but still a solid promise to me.

Overall:

• I have to say, it was satisfying & a bit frustrating, at the same time. I've shared a lot of mistakes & plenty of undo processes, with a ton of sweaty & face-rubbing from my body because of the dry season, but that doesn't stop me until I'm done. But in the end, I accomplished the installation of the SSD NVMe M.2 drive with my first owned NVMe stick from Samsung (970 EVO Plus) & the heat sink by Thermalright. Hopefully, these two we're safe & sound, forever without second thoughts about removing them. But, should I buy another NVMe with additional items to operate? Maybe. If I buy another NVMe M.2 drive, then I could use it for my file storage instead of the mechanical counterpart. But Nah, I guess one NVMe stick is good enough for me (I suppose). One thing I'm concerned about is not touching any internal components when I try to install a cooling fan or a heat sink with another NVMe stick on it because if I do with a slight touch my PC won't run at all, and that scares me... *sigh* But in the end, it was a worth it & satisfied my computer upgrade. My ambitious computer upgrade was a success!

I have more tests to come until the end, so I'll be planning to make another part for the finale (before my birthday countdown starts), so stay tuned.

Well, that's all for now.

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013) のSSDを換装して増量した話

普段使いのパソコンはiMac 2021（M1）の2TBモデルを中古で買ったものなのですが、昔からサブ機として掲題のMacBook Pro（Retina、13インチ、Late 2013モデル）を持っていました。

が、OSのアップデートもmacOS 11 Big Surを最後に打ち切られ、とうにビンテージを過ぎてオブソリート、要は修理も何もサポートは受け付けないよ、という状態になってしまい、SSD容量も当時は1TBの最上位を選んでいたのですが、iMacの2TBに上をいかれてしまったため、実質サブ機としての役目を終えていました。

……が、が、EFIブート（詳細な技術面は詳しくないので省略）をいじれば最新のmacOS 14 Sonomaをインストールできることや、比較的かんたんで廉価な手順でSSDを換装できる方法が確立しているとのことだったので、ググりつつSonomaを入れられることを確認し、SSDも持て余していた2TBのNVMe M.2に入れ替えることにしました。

以下、写真だらけの備忘録です。

（2TBの容量を認識してる！）

まずは先人の知恵を拝借。下記ブログを参考に必要機材を導入。

Macbook ProのSSDを安価で大容量なM.2 NVMe SSDに換装

工具としては対応したMacBookシリーズ向けのドライバーとスパッジャーがセットになったものを、SSDの接続用に専用の変換アダプタを購入。併せて3000円弱です。SSD自体は自作PCに余って刺さってたままになってた2TBのNVMe M.2を再利用したのでタダです。安上がり。

何はともあれ、専用のドライバーが届いていたのでネジを外していくのですが、先人曰く、ヒンジ近くのネジだけ短い（要は長さの違うネジが混ざってる）らしいので、

こんな感じでダイソーで買ってきたA4のマグネットシートを敷き、ネジの位置が分かるようにマスキングテープでヒンジ付近の「MacBook Pro」の位置をメモし、対応する箇所にネジを磁力で固定しました。13インチの場合はA4とほぼ同じ大きさなので、分かりやすくて便利。

ネジをどかしたら工具一式に付属のスパッジャーで裏蓋をこじ開けていきます。ヒンジ部分の両脇に大きな隙間があるので、そこからぐりぐり開けていきます。最初のうちは硬いけど、何度か開け閉めしているうちに開けグセがついて簡単に開くようになりました。

というわけでご開帳。

ロジックボード底面はこんな感じ。

これも先人の知恵を借り、バッテリーから電気を供給するコネクタを外して感電を防ぎます。

凸型の「サービスマン以外は開けるな」シールを剝がすとこんな感じでコネクタがあるので、これもスパッジャーでグイグイ外していきます。写真上部から力を入れるのがコツっぽいです。（何度目かから外し忘れて作業してたのは秘密）

先人に倣い、さっき剝がしたシールをテキトーに置いて絶縁。

最初から付いていた、1TBの専用SSDとご対面。サムスンのチップが使われているようです。固定に使われているネジは普通のトルクスネジに見えましたが、念のため容易したセットに入っていた対応するドライバーで外します。

外し方はよくあるM.2 SSDと同じです。あらよっと。

取り外したSSDと、変換アダプタ＋普通のNVMe M.2 SSDのセットを並べてみました。長さと幅が、最初から装着されていたやつの方がデカいです。この長さの隙間に変換アダプタを噛ますかたちになります。あ、使用するSSDはLexarの2TBモデル、NVMe Gen 3 × 4のものです。これしか余ってなかったので。（なんでSSDが余るんだ）

変換アダプタだけ先に取り付けた状態です。けっこう深くまで挿さないといけないため、取り外しの際はスパッジャーの平たい面で押し込む／押し出すのが良いと思います。

あとは変換アダプタめがけてよくあるSSDと同じような取り付け方をすればOKです。ネジを戻すのも忘れずに。

ひとまず取り付け完了。バッテリーのコネクタも逆の手順ではめ込み、シールも貼り戻しました。動作チェック時はネジ留めせず、裏蓋を置くだけにして電源を入れ、ネットワークリカバリを起動してみます。

……が、初期インストールされていたOSがMavericksだったのですが（ネットワークリカバリは出荷時のOSのバージョンを落とそうとする）、何を何度やろうとも2TBのSSDを認識することはありませんでした。しょうがないので別途USBメモリを作っていたMojaveやBig Surのインストーラーから起動することに。

認識した！

MojaveとBig Surの両方を入れたいので、APFSでフォーマットし、コンテナ内にそれぞれ向けのボリュームを作成。

あとはつつがなくそれぞれのUSBメモリから各ボリュームにOSをインストールしたら、あっけなく作業は終了しました。裏蓋のネジも忘れずに締め戻します。

元のSSDからTime Machineでバックアップをとるために、その後なんどか開け閉めと付け外しをしましたが、問題なく動作しています。

Mavericksは何度やっても2TBのSSDを認識しなかったので、USBメモリにインストールし、Time Machineから旧環境を移植しました。どうしても古い環境で動かしたいアプリもあるんですが、そう頻繁でもないので速度は二の次です。

いっぺんだけSSDの読み書き速度を比較して測ってみたのですが、なんか上がってたような気もします。よくわかりません。

長くてグダグダですが、おしまい！真似したい人はずっと上にあるAmazonへのリンクの箇所から道具を買ってください。対戦ありがとうございました。
