What is the best power supply to use?

Question

Windows

It costs ssd, also in the power supply schemes there is the possibility of power supply through ssd, which I always used, but never thought about what it is and is it normal at all? Can someone explain to me if this can affect its performance? Or maybe the maximum performance mode is more loyal to use?

Answer 1

If you try to "get into the head" of the Samsung, it seems logical that their (Samsung) scheme differs from the balanced one only in that the SSD does not turn off when idle, or turns off after a longer period. The point should be that during periods of inactivity, the SSD can perform the garbage collection procedure, this increases efficiency.

Or maybe the maximum performance mode is more loyal to use?

Maximum - it is always maximum, including the processor does not reduce the frequency when idle, which means it heats up more. If you are sure that you need maximum performance - use it, why not.

Answer 2

In this mode, the drive is faster, but may consume more power (which can be critical on a laptop if running on battery power), at least that's what it says. Although, I think it’s unlikely that you can see the difference in the operation of ssd with the naked eye.
