I’m just setting up the Crucial Storage Executive for the first time, so this should help resolve any issues.
It really depends on your needs. I recently upgraded for my partner who plays DQHD, using 5700x3d since DDR5 isn't stable with the 9800x3d issues. For 1080p and competitive shooters, switching to AM5 might be worthwhile.
I ran a test and everything seemed normal. When loading a game, the drive started stuttering and freezing right away. I've uninstalled and reinstalled all my games many times, run an SFC scan, fixed system files, and done everything possible. Still, nothing works. I’ve bought a new drive before, but this is different. If it doesn’t fix it, I’m going to sell my current rig and invest in a better build. I really don’t know what to do right now.
