GG, what a hoot!, No, you are not a genius. If you were you would be very rich and you would not be in Thailand. So many other places to live under that consideration.💲💲💲

I will clearly state this: Clone old computer SSD with windows onto a new SSD "for the old computer" will boot usually. Clone old computer with windows onto this new computer will FAIL to boot. Clone old computer with Linux onto this new computer will FAIL to boot. It will require a full OS install on this new computer. Then (windows) drivers, service packs, updates, etc,,, At his point IMAGE IT before moving forward. Then configuration (tweak how you like it). And applications (some may need keys too). Yes, perhaps Linux is the best way to go. Linux fully supports the Intel Thread Director for those hybrid cores. Later, do windows in a VM. You are in for a lot of work. Best of luck Blessings at the end of Passover and into Easter.

This is the way however I will be amazed if the M2 will boot afterwards. because the Hardware is "very" dissimilar. You will have a lot of work ahead.

GG, please stop drinking and posting in this format. You sound nutz. ^^^ I'm serious 'bout this, do get a grip. To answer your Q: 1- That CORSAIR is faster, is CL32 and does 6400/MTs 2- You will never notice the difference twixt the two 3- in 5 years your system will be old, DDR5 maybe hard to find as likely DDR7 then. 4- Here in Chattanooga, hard to find Crucial, market dominated by CORSAIR No offense intended, just tryin' to help. (so don't reply to my comment) Happy 1'st day of "spring" to everyone.

Overclocking and cooling. (*never OC the ram!) Be aware if you overclock that CPU, your chosen CPU cooler will not suffice. I would suggest a water block. There is a silver lining in this. That unit could/would cool both the CPU and a discrete GPU card. So there goes all those fans and hence the noise.

System Board is good but Please do look at ASrock; https://www.asrock.com/ Info about them here; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASRock I've used them 3x in previous builds and do recommend. The Power Supply choice is fine, 750w should be 'nuff. Pay attention to it's cables! Do use DDR5 RAM. Not DDR4. Do use 64GB or more. Do use a M2 NVME SSD as the system drive, not a SATA SSD. The Samsung Pro or EVO is excellent. AVOID all QVO models. For additional storage I use the Seagate Iron Wolf or the Seagate Iron Wolf Pro (only in 7,200 RPM). Of course do use quality SATA cables. I expect you will need a discreet graphics card for those 4 monitors. Whats up with the weird post by 'ABCDBKK' ? That should be in the 'Pub' forum. Whatever.

I should also mention the Intel Thread Director and these Intel Hybrid CPU's. Around the time of Intel 10th gen CPU's is when they introduced the hybrid "E'" and "P" design. To utilize them requires the Intel Thread Director. Both in hardware and the OS. Windows 10 has a very poor implementation of it, and will/can never be fixed (just can't be). Windows 11 has the full implementation. So does Linux. It's in the v20.? kernel. What this means is one will have piss poor performance in these hybrid Intel CPU's of gen 10, 11, 12, 13, 14. Please research this yourself. I've only ever used Intel CPU's, since the 8086. I'll not go into my background. My next build will very likely be the AMD Ryzen 7 8700G. It tick's all the boxes at 65 watts. Hoping Intel gets their act together and has an alternative to their high-wattage toaster oven CPU's.

The Core i5-13600K has a base TDP (PL1) of 125 watts and a max turbo TDP (PL2) of 181 watts. That means the CPU will consume a minimum of 125 watts of power (PL1) at its E-core base frequency of 2.60 GHz and a maximum of 181 watts of power (PL1) at its P-core base frequency of 3.50 GHz. That's a lot of heat. I advise 2 case fans to exhaust that internal case heat. Given the Intel internal graphics poor performance I don't expect 4 monitor support to be adequate for your needs.

The OP clearly asked about Seagate Ironwolf Hard Disk Drives for a NAS. Why is this thread polluted with posts about fake USB, SSD and NVME storage units??? Jeeze, stay on topic please. I have 3 Seagate Ironwolf 8TB, Cost USD $180 ea (w/o tax) purchased from 'Best Buy' in Chattanooga TN. The Seagate Ironwolf Pro version are about $40+ more in price. Warranty; Seagate Ironwolf 3-Years, Seagate Ironwolf Pro 5-Years The 4TB are 5,900 RPM. The 6TB, 8TB and above are 7,200 RPM

Actually that is no longer true as most spinning HDD's have supported Trim for about 8 years. All of my spinners do. And it does reduce the need to defrag. Most welcome on my 8+ TB Seagate Ironwolf Pro's.

It’s always best to do at least some cursory research before you embarrass yourself on an open forum: I refer you to the official Samsung data sheet, there you will see LPDDR4 is the cache and not the V-NAND. https://download.semiconductor.samsung.com/resources/data-sheet/Samsung_SSD_870_EVO_Data_Sheet_Rev1.1.pdf Most if not all SSD's will use this or the LPDDR5. In addition many phones/tablets also use this type ram. In closing I stand by what I originally posted. Sir, I respectfully submit that you may now eat crow. I do not expect an apology. Do have a good day. - howto

Err sorry, These units are SSD's and use nonvolatile NAND in a tri-level cell storage setup. DRAM is volatile memory used on the system-board and as the cache in HDD's, i.e. they loose their contents when power is removed.

Choose your HDDs carefully, do your backups please. I suggest CMR drives only, don't use SMR drives for anything important, YMMV. - howto

Check your manual and find how to check the page count of that unit. Is the drum due for replacement? Could be a toner cartridge issue, try a new OEM unit. Clean the corona wire. Check for updated firmware. Aside; I have noticed some paper can have this effect.

Agree Active@Kill Disc works. And Bleachbit. Seemed good 'nuff for Hilliary Clinton, they never got any data from those discs. Bet of Luck - howto
