First thoughts with Mystic Light Setup

in combination with MSi Z270 SLI Mainboard and MSI RTX 2070s Armor. I think in the future I'll just do a clean install of Windows instead of a clone), but I wanted to leave some early notes on installing with MSI Mystic Light for others. As another reviewer noted, Mystic Light recognized it almost immediately. All I had to do was run the program and a new tab for the SSD appeared. And it lights up the inside of my suitcase just like I hoped it would. However, the downside is that when trying to sync it with my GPU, there are few lighting patterns/options available. In particular, I can't use the "Fading" option on an SSD like I did on a GPU. The GPU can still fade, but I need to use a different setting and time it "just like that". I don't see this as a deal breaker, I'll come up with something. However, if you're considering this SSD for a specific RGB setting, bear that in mind. Late edit: After moving my rig to a different case, I'm having issues with the raid configuration, and after troubleshooting the BIOS, Mystic Light no longer recognizes m.2. Maybe one day there will be an industry standard. Or we look back and talk about how stupid RGB was - one of those two things :)

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Exchange availability
