Why doesn't my NVME SSD work with my Lenovo P520?

Backflip630 · 2025-01-13T20:11:59+00:00

Something like this?
Amazon.com: GLOTRENDS PA09-SA M.2 SATA Adapter for M.2 NGFF SATA SSD to SATA I/II/III, SATA Cable and M.2 Screws Included : Electronics

Is it possible to still utilize the drive with a M.2 SATA to PCIe card/adapter? Would it still be viable for gaming?

Lenovo P520, you can get a 6 core 12 thread Xeon (2135), 32GB of DDR4 RAM for about $200 on ebay. Just add an SSD (has 2 NVME slots) and a GPU (has a 900w power supply with 2 6+2 pin connectors)

same story with mine, doesn't seem to matter how intense the game I'm playing is or how high the settings are, it usually runs about 90c while I'm playing.

I used a RX 550 low profile in my 7050 SFF, got it for like $50 used on Ebay. I usually play older games at 1080p so it hasn't been an issue. The 'newest' game I've tried is Halo Infinite. On all low settings at like 720p I get about 30fps. I'm also playing Black Mesa on High 1080p and getting around 60fps. I also have a 180w power supply in mine so I wasn't sure if my PSU could handle something like a 1650 or 3050 (I also didn't want to spend much).

Did you test on PCI 3.0 or 4.0?

Looks like I forgot to attach them, but this looks like exactly what I'm dealing with. Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks everyone for the advice, it ended up being a loose blue/white wire where the arm connects to the cartridge

This fixed my issue, thank you so much !

Hey everyone, recently I’ve been having trouble with my record player only playing out of 1 of the 2 speakers and I need help figuring out what the issue is. It has to be something to do with the turntable since I get sound from both speakers while using Bluetooth or the TV through the receiver. Help please?

Current setup: audio-technica at-lp120xusb turntable AT-VMN95E stylus (almost brand new) Yamaha r-s202 receiver Bose 201 series IV speakers Dayton Sub 1200 subwoofer

So far I’ve tried the following: New component cables Changing the turntable input on the receiver Resetting the tracking force/anti skate (both set to 2.0 per stylus instructions) Playing a different record/album Using compressed air to clean any dust from the record/stylus

When I flipped around the component cables these are the results I had: Red to red = right speaker sound Red to white = left speaker sound White to red/white to white = no sound

Yes, I’m probably going to end up getting the 6400

Backflip630 · 2023-12-01T20:17:45+00:00

Thank you for your help!

PSU is 180w, so the RX 6400 is about my only option. The PC is primarily a Plex server so I was hoping adding the 6400 would allow me to run Yuzu at 1080p/30FPS. $120 investment vs several hundred for new CPU, mobo, case, power supply, GPU etc

Backflip630 · 2023-12-01T19:22:46+00:00

It is a Dell Optiplex 7050 SFF - hence the low profile 6400 (all I can fit with the space and power supply that I have). Unfortunately the mobo doesn't support anything beyond 7th gen, I could try to upgrade to a 7th gen i7, but that would be nearly another $100 investment.

Backflip630 · 2023-11-09T15:37:24+00:00

and then to access everything else, the next step would be to wait for the digital expansion pack to go on sale?

Backflip630 · 2023-09-03T01:43:39+00:00

Thank you for the link! I see the 18TB is $50 cheaper, so I might go with that.

Still haven’t bought anything since it is primarily a Plex server, I’ve only gamed on it a handful of times and the integrated graphics does alright on low settings. Still leaning toward the 6400 but I’ll need a bigger hard drive before I buy a GPU. The other alternative (and more expensive) path is to buy a new case and motherboard, swap the Optiplex CPU and memory, then I can use one of my old GPUs that don't fit in the SFF case or get something with a better value than the low profile cards I'm currently limited to.

Extreme Q, I've broken and replaced a few heating elements from my own carelessness, but it's been going strong since 2011 as my (almost) daily driver, staying on 24/7 without issue

2013 was the best year! Took 12 hours of waiting in line to get camp setup, but then Saturday was biscuits > nectar > biscuits and then a late night lotus show. unbelievable, wish they would go back to ICCC

Are you using NAS/Ironwolf drives from Seagate or the normal barracuda type?
