so if you have 2 x4

#

yes but you get NVMe expansion cards

#

if storage is your concern and you want an x670e board get the ASUS creator board

trail kayak
#

i am also aware of those. both as the storage cards and as the nvme expansion cards

toxic apex
#

bang for buck get TUF

trail kayak
#

i think i have reviewed both boards

toxic apex
#

best performing for this gen get gigabyte

trail kayak
#

ive heard bad things

#

here are some older optane drives that actually appear on pcpp

solemn walrus
#

wow!

#

anyway

trail kayak
#

it looks like some dont use u.2 at all

toxic apex
#

as long as you are looking at what you are downloading and updating youre fine

trail kayak
#

ive heard about equally bad stuff from asus

toxic apex
#

just stay in the lane of norms

#

then youre fine

#

i dont like ASUS either this gen

#

i went with a gigabyte MB

#

if you need storage

#

wait

#

how much storage do you need? and what for?

trail kayak
#

okay so yeah i finally found one

#

Intel Optane P1600X 58GB

#

it doesnt use u.2 at all

#

which looks like all the m.2 optane drives use 3x4 and since the adapter is 3x4, that means the speeds shouldnt be slowed down

toxic apex
#

................

#

i dont understand whats happening anymore

solemn walrus
#

shes basically wasting her time

toxic apex
#

im just so lost

#

get a MB with 2 or more NVMe slots

#

you have 4 sata ports available minimum (80% of boards)

#

get 512gb sata ssd for OS and other basic software and applications

#

PCIe 3 for games are fine but PCIe 4 drives are as of recent priced really well

#

get a game drive

#

if you do work and require large space for editing then anywhere upwards from 2TB and you can always partition

#

if you want to separate the drives then 1TB for games and 1 or 2TB for work (depends on what you do because even 512 is enough sometimes)

#

CPU buy low now so ryzen 5 range but spend good on a MB rn (only real possible future proofing IMO)

#

then at the end of this ryzen sockets lifespan buy high so ryzen 9 or 3d CPU if you are more focused on gaming

#

GPU thats all up to what you want to do again

solemn walrus
#

😭

toxic apex
#

basically you are over complicating everything and the most complicated thing you need to be looking at is use case

#

what do you need it for

trail kayak
#

im p sure my mb progress is in a link somewhere in these threads

toxic apex
#

i skimmed past it ngl

trail kayak
#

my cpu is already the 7950x3d

toxic apex
trail kayak
#

ive done this roundabout too many times, may i assume you want me to go intel lol

toxic apex
#

no lmao

#

i dont like that intel does a change every 2 generations

#

but then again use case

#

does the software you wanna run work better with intel? then sure maybe id suggest them

#

im team red tho

#

dont even think i'll ever touch a nvidia card again

trail kayak
#

personally i have no bias to intel or amd. i dont care at all. but the numbers are numbers. i never did any cpu + ram comparisons tho. and it seems like intel probably wins overall there anyway so amd might have the better cpus, but it doesnt matter if intel ends up having a better cpu + ram combo synergy

#

im going the 4090

#

suprim liquid x

toxic apex
#

ok but why all this?

trail kayak
#

i didnt know anything about storage

#

but now i do mostly

#

wait wtf is this

toxic apex
#

because if youre gonna spend all that on your GPU and CPU then why look at gen 3 SSDs

#

get a 4080

#

play 1440p

#

get better SSDs

#

or just get 7900xtx and have all your updates in one place if youre getting an AMD CPU

trail kayak
#

it looks like they are moving away from u.2

toxic apex
#

long ago

trail kayak
#

what are e1.s and e1.l

toxic apex
#

doesnt matter

#

youre not building a server

trail kayak
#

it looks like they are ssds

#

still look like m.2s

toxic apex
#

did you read the article?

trail kayak
#

oh i see now

toxic apex
#

everything you are asking is in there?

trail kayak
#

its the server m.2

#

that's pretty interesting.

#

its so funny how things will go enterprise then consumer then back to enterprise

#

cause it basically went u.2 >> m.2 >> E1

toxic apex
#

you are a normal consumer
using consumer level products all you need to worry about is m.2 and SATA

trail kayak
#

and then there is E3 which is probably the newest tech

#

basically 5th gen m.2s with 16 lanes lmao

#

the future of consumer m.2s will be interesting.

#

primocache and storemi are interesting

tulip pelican
toxic apex
#

just gonna continue with my paper

trail kayak
#

i feel like why not get this as a boot drive

tulip pelican
#

That’s seems pretty stupid. Paying 75$ for a 118gb drive

trail kayak
#

it doesnt use u.2 either

#

almost double the minimum performance of the t700

tulip pelican
#

Whatever waste your money on a underperforming drive Idc

trail kayak
#

google isnt telling me its underperforming

solemn walrus
#

holy hell

tulip pelican
#

For the price you pay for the drive and capacity it’s very underperforming

#

Barely over 1000 mb/s read & write…. And it’s $75 for 118gb lol. You could buy drives twice that speed that are 2tb for the same price

trail kayak
tulip pelican
#

That’s still god awful performance for that price

trail kayak
#

it has 3d xpoint.

#

$75 is very affordable

tulip pelican
#

Doesn’t really matter it’s also an outdated ssd

#

Cheaper alternatives offer more performance for a better price in 2023

trail kayak
#

but it has double the performance of most of the top performing ssds in terms of minimum random r/w which ive been told is the best measure of day to day performance for normal operations

tulip pelican
#

Even if those random read and writes were sustained it’s still fucking stupid to pay $75 for 118gb of storage that you’re not gonna see a noticeable difference in performance on with a $50 1tb TLC cache drive

proven fern
#

You've actually been told you can't take advantage of the speed in real world applications but ignore it every single time linuth

tulip pelican
#

You seriously can’t lol

trail kayak
#

rauko was talking about seq for some reason lmao

tulip pelican
#

Most people don’t even notice the difference between sata and m.2 I’d theyre being used as a boot drive

#

Cause boot times and general loading are the same speeds

proven fern
#

it's true for both seq and random

trail kayak
#

here is the best performing q1

tulip pelican
#

Buy it then why ask us if you’re doing the research and coming to a conclusion yourself lol

trail kayak
#

im not asking, im letting the thread know this is what im going

#

earlier i was asking about u.2s because i wanted to see how practical a u.2 ssd would be

#

because at first i really didnt like optane because of the u.2 adapter, but it seems like its not really a big deal

tulip pelican
#

ok

trail kayak
#

and also the p5800x is $2000

#

which i dont really want to do, but i could

#

optane always specializes in random r/w speeds

#

which is really only useful for a boot drive

#

so theres no real need to have a 1tb or 2tb optane drive

#

Intel Optane 905P 380GB would also be a good option

#

i didnt know they have rgb m.2s

#

so when you see the inflated disk rating of other drives and compare optane to the sequential speeds of other drives, of course you would look at $75 and think its overpriced

#

but what im seeing is $75 for top 5 in the market today.

#

the p1600x definitely sacrifices having any relevant sequential speed in order to have 200+ mb/s iops at q1 (qd1)

timid lava
#

Oh boy

#

Ok

trail kayak
#

and q1 is the highest resolution for iops

timid lava
#

Let me read up

#

hi dream

trail kayak
#

haii

timid lava
#

What ya lookin for this time

trail kayak
#

storage right now

#

cause i cant access my mb notes

#

i felt p close to a storage decision

timid lava
#

ok cool
Are we getting an SSD or HDD?

trail kayak
#

i basically want best on the market, budget doesnt matter but probably not $2000 ssd

timid lava
#

SSDs aren’t 2000 lol

trail kayak
trail kayak
timid lava
#

buy a cheap 2TB one

timid lava
#

There’s no point in even considering them

trail kayak
# timid lava buy a cheap 2TB one

the higher capacity seems to have a decrease in speed / performance overall, however a 4tb t700 seems to stay on par with the top performing 2tb ssds on the market

timid lava
#

It seriously will not matter, your not doing high data transfers

#

You just having the SSD is already to your advantage

trail kayak
#

i would much rather look at the best real world performers and then drop down depending on how much im willing to spend

#

so if the #1 ssd is $2000 then its nice to know, but i can just drop down

timid lava
#

You legit cannot tell the difference in a realistic standpoint

#

like at all

trail kayak
#

so im pretty sure the only reason that is the case, is cause its the stigma in the pc building world. and after looking at the charts, that makes sense.

because every ssd has almost the same identical iops at q1 EXCEPT for like 5 of them.

#

meaning yeah YOU probably couldnt tell a difference BECAUSE you never bought one of those

timid lava
#

For what your doing, it seriously doesn’t matter

#

….

#

No.

#

It’s because there’s no realistic difference like

#

At all

#

you don’t see any kind of visual difference between them

blazing nova
#

The one time a 980 pro is actually the value option KEKW

trail kayak
#

and also i just mostly think that everyone in the community says that because thats what everyone is saying and i honestly think its because no one has the money to buy a higher performing q1 ssd

timid lava
#

What do you think will be the advantage of it?

timid lava
#

Wow that’s a waste of money but

uncut burrow
#

i have a gun

timid lava
#

Ig yeah that works

uncut burrow
trail kayak
#

q1 is basically the min speed.

timid lava
# trail kayak

And unless your somehow going to take advantage of those speeds, you’ll never see a drive that high

trail kayak
#

i also know that after a little bit ssds will drop draastically in speed from their marketed speeds to their q20 ish speed and then after awhile will drop to q1 speeds or something

#

so 90% of the time you are sitting at the q1 speed area

#

maybe higher

#

this image are the drives with the highest q1 speeds

timid lava
#

So which do you want to do than

trail kayak
uncut burrow
#

sleep preferably

trail kayak
#

but if you look at basically ANY other drive that isnt top market

#

yes they all perform basically the exact same

#

because every drive is literally 100 mb/s

uncut burrow
#

wh

trail kayak
#

this drive for example is the best price / perf option on the market (THIS IS NOT A PRICE / PERF BUILD)

AND it has a q1 of 80 mb/s for $27

#

its no wonder people say all ssds operate the same and no one notices a difference

timid lava
#

so what are we buying than

trail kayak
#

it's because the #1 ssd in terms of q1 randoms is the only ssd that is almost 5 times faster than most ssds

#

#2 ssd - q1 randoms is nearly 3 times faster

#

and these are the speeds that YOU should notice

#

people just in general say that this is impossible because theres literally only like 3-4 ssds that exist that you would be able to tell

#

and half of them are $2000 so not really worth it

uncut burrow

#

personally i wouldnt go the NVMe WD Blue SN570 500GB besides it being kind of a joke buy because its literally a free ssd.

its great for what it is. i basically wouldnt recommend any other ssd for any budget build

But again

#

Which one are you buying

trail kayak

i would rather go this viper ssd if i was going price / perf route

hi mods

#

im iono

trail kayak
timid lava
#

Than go with that

uncut burrow
#

lmao i got blocked

#

did i say tim hortons

trail kayak
#

just cause it's basically $46 and it's 33% faster in 90% of tasks for a 200% price hike

uncut burrow
trail kayak
#

orr i could go for the p1600x

solemn walrus
uncut burrow
#

or you can just like buy a pc

#

instead of spending 2 months doing jack shit

timid lava
#

Either or works

#

their all SSDs and will work the same for gaming

trail kayak
timid lava
#

So whichever you pick really does not matter

solemn walrus
trail kayak
#

this hdd has speeds that are on par with optane drives

solemn walrus
#

youre going in a van

#

you dont want a HDD in a van

solemn walrus
#

dont look at HDDs

trail kayak
#

but its only $160 vs the $75 p1600x

#

big diff is this is 8tb and competitive

solemn walrus
#

i dont get why you would want an intel optane

#

or a hard drive

#

none of your activities benefit from a super mega ultra hyper fast ssd

trail kayak
#

hdd is just honestly good cheap high cap storage for user data

timid lava
#

Oh I forgot this is a VAN setup

solemn walrus
#

just go with 990 pros

timid lava
#

Best option

solemn walrus
solemn walrus
trail kayak
#

look im aware of the fragility of hdds. lets just leave it there. im tired of people going ham on the vanlife build. this is not exactly a full on van life build im just wanting to build a normal pc with mild considerations on vanlife

#

so i dont want a vanlife pc lmao

timid lava
#

Lol

#

Fair enough

trail kayak
#

i want a monster pc and i will cope

solemn walrus
#

alr

#

but yeah...

#

the point still stands

#

if you want to move the pc around, go jsut ssds

trail kayak
#

i will tell you guys all about how my vanlife dreams were crushed when my pc couldnt turn on later

trail kayak
solemn walrus
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

trail kayak
#

okay well i do have a big question

#

why even try forking out money

#

for these super fast q1 speed ssds

solemn walrus
#

cause some data centers actually need them

trail kayak
#

if cache is ultimately the clutch of the ssd anyway and is faster than optane

solemn walrus
#

no consumers do

trail kayak
#

no no im asking

#

what if i just went the super high cache ssd routee

#

like why do these even exist

#

i feel like with 131gb of cache i wont ever run out and i basically dont need to give a fuck about it being pseudo slc, tlc, qlc, 100 rnd q1 iops or 450 rnd q1 iops

#

ive been told over and over sequential doesnt matter. OKAY so then i wont look at ssds with high sequentials, but this is what google is telling me about random reads and writes

#

i honestly wont pay $2000 for 450 rnd q1 iops but yeahhhh i might spend $75 on 220 rnd q1 iops tho

solemn walrus
#

you can buy them, they wont benefit
again, 990 pros are good enough if you wanna go overkill

trail kayak
#

i feel like the 990 pro tries to do it all and wants those high seq speeds

solemn walrus
#

yes

#

and it succeeds

#

its good at everything

trail kayak
#

well here look at this tho

#

it is only the 2tb version of the 990 pro

solemn walrus
#

what am i supposed to see

#

a gen 4 drive losing to gen 5 drives?

trail kayak
#

its not exactly about it being gen 5 thats the big deal

solemn walrus
#

990 pro pretty much maxes out the gen 4

trail kayak
#

its that the gen 5 allows the t700 to be on par with a 2tb 990 pro

#

better even

#

but again, these are sequentials so not likely to get much use out of on a daily basis

#

the exact t700 im looking at is the CT4000T700SSD5

#

AND

#

here are the pcpp for both exact part numbers

timid lava
#

Wow

#

5th gen is pointless as hell

#

Like

#

Very pointless

trail kayak
#

t700 isnt really worth the $500 but to me thats still like nothing in terms of budget.

#

if it was priced at the 990 pro, it should cost $300

solemn walrus
#

gen 5 is new technology so its pricy

trail kayak
#

yeah but it allows for higher caps on one drive

solemn walrus
#

ok, but its new so its pricy

trail kayak
#

which is always valuable. it is the ultimate goal of cell level technology

tulip pelican
#

Driving and having an hdd do not work well

#

It will destroy the HDD

trail kayak
#

im okay with going a little pricy tho, as long as its not insane

#

insane to you guys isnt insane to me lol

solemn walrus
#

it is insane though

tulip pelican
#

Paying $75 for a 118gb drive is insane

trail kayak
#

what i see is +$200 overpriced

#

but some of that goes towards the convenience of it being on one drive

solemn walrus
#

its double

#

for the same thing

tulip pelican
#

Yup lol

median quail
#

And here I thought storage was almost decided. What the fuck.

trail kayak
#

990 pro is $150, the t700 is $500

#

2tb and the 4tb

median quail
#

Don’t get a 990 pro. Don’t get a t700

solemn walrus
#

just leave it

tulip pelican
#

Probably why Intel Optane is being discontinued. Because theirs no real world advantage to it for the price it cost

median quail
#

Why not just the sabrent you linked a while ago

trail kayak
#
solemn walrus
solemn walrus
#

intel optane for a boot drive

#

crazy

trail kayak
#

its only $75

solemn walrus
#

isnt that slower than a pcie 4

median quail
#

It doesn’t matter

#

Fuck optane

solemn walrus
tulip pelican
median quail
#

Also no t700 PLEASE

solemn walrus
#

optane is only worth as cache tbh

tulip pelican
#

Not at that price

solemn walrus
#

uh

median quail

#

look at this

median quail
trail kayak
#

q1

tulip pelican
#

That’s awful.

trail kayak
trail kayak
tulip pelican
#

A crucial p3 outperforms that and it’s not even a good drive

#

For $43 1tb

trail kayak
#

that goes to show that youve been looking at the wrong numbers

solemn walrus
tulip pelican
#

$45 1tb drives perform better lol

trail kayak
#

also this

solemn walrus
median quail
#

It’s a 118gb drive that’s 8 times as expensive

tulip pelican
#

Yea lol it’s a stupid choice

trail kayak
#

theres only 1 hdd that is faster and it is $160

median quail
tulip pelican
#

At that point buy a TeamGroup mp44L

solemn walrus
trail kayak
median quail

#

Yea a slow boot drive

its not its literally top market

#

Holy shit who told you that

trail kayak
solemn walrus
#

oh my lord

trail kayak
#

why are you mixing them up lol

solemn walrus
#

yknow what

#

just buy it

trail kayak
#

these are LITERALLY the fastest drives for 90% of use cases

median quail
#

Do you even know what randoms are useful for?

solemn walrus
#

order it right now

trail kayak
solemn walrus
#

creeper

#

just

#

let her buy it

tulip pelican
#

They’re not the fastest drives tho. Lol consumer drives are faster

solemn walrus
#

if she wants

#

dgaf

tulip pelican
#

Gen 4 consumer drives are faster

civic sail
#

whats goin on in here

trail kayak
tulip pelican
#

No I’m thinking of random lol

solemn walrus
#

ssd that gets beaten by a hard drive

tulip pelican
#

My Crucia P3 is much faster then that Intel drive in random reads and writes

solemn walrus
#

all im saying

tulip pelican
#

And it’s a shitty qlc drive

median quail
trail kayak
solemn walrus
#

by a NAS hard drive btw

tulip pelican
#

You won’t tell a difference bro in any of those use cases 😂🤦🏼‍♂️

trail kayak
#

so yeah 450 mb/s q1 is gonna be 4 times minimum faster than EVERY ssd on the market

tulip pelican
#

And still yet a consumer drive is faster in gen 4

trail kayak
#

whats hilarious is that it is gen 3 and 4 times faster

tulip pelican
#

If you base it off the p1600x or whatever which had like 1600 mb/s random read and write my crucial does 2500 random read and write q1 and it’s a $43 drive

#

1tb too

solemn walrus
#

shut up about ur sequentials

tulip pelican
#

Not to mention it’s almost twice as fast in sequential transfer

timid lava
#

The hell

median quail
#

P1600x vs p5 plus 1TB

timid lava
#

Did I just see chatgpt

tulip pelican
#

Even the p3 is faster lol

civic sail
timid lava
#

The hell

tulip pelican
median quail
#

Exactly

tulip pelican
#

Pretty sure the mp44L is faster

#

And it’s a $30 drive

solemn walrus
#

than a p5 plus? nah

timid lava
#

This all legit does not matter, because she’s not doing high data transfers

tulip pelican
#

Noooo

#

Then the Optane drive @solemn walrus

timid lava
#

like she won’t even take advantage of any of these drives

#

At all

solemn walrus
tulip pelican
#

Exactly what we’ve been saying lol

timid lava
#

Like

median quail
#

Holy shit she was comparing optane to hdds. That’s why it was “top of the market”

proven fern
timid lava
#

Just buy an SSD and call it a day

#

it legit will make 0 difference

median quail
#

That’s what I said so many times :/

trail kayak
tulip pelican
#

It really makes no sense to buy server drives nowadays cause they’re not any faster then consumer m.2s

civic sail
#

worrying about theoretical maxes vs what you're actually going to see, performance wise, is a recipe for disaster

timid lava
median quail
timid lava
#

You perfectly proved my point

tulip pelican
#

No matter the use case you’re still wrong lol. Intel Optane is inferior to most gen 3-4 m.2 drives

timid lava
#

Lol

tulip pelican
#

It’s outdated and also being discontinued

timid lava
#

you do not need those drives unless your handling extreme high volumes of data transfers

median quail
timid lava
#

Which of course your not

civic sail
#

just ran a CDM with my generic 1tb nvme ssd...

tulip pelican

the ssds i have posted are for daily everyday use

timid lava

any SSD ever will perfectly be good for daily use

good so you read through then

I’ll wait to be proven wrong

median quail
civic sail
#

chatgpt is not ever going to be considered a reliable source lmao

timid lava
#

just decide between those 2

trail kayak
#

so now you know a high queue depth 1 speed is optimal

timid lava
#

Those are good options

timid lava
#

like

#

Your seriously overthinking this entire thing

trail kayak
#

im gonna need more information on this

solemn walrus
timid lava
#

why the fuck do you care about queue depth?

trail kayak
#

what are the exact links

solemn walrus
#

😭😭😭

civic sail
#

just say you want to waste a bunch of money on an "expensive" ssd and call it a day 😭

timid lava
trail kayak
timid lava
#

No it’s not

#

:/

trail kayak
#

the iops changes depending on the qd (queue depth btw)

#

so something that is q20, or qd20 is going to be more forgiving than something that is q1 or qd1

timid lava
# trail kayak LOL YES IT IS

Almost every SSD ever can handle almost all amounts of inputs any CPU can give
Which of course if your doing high data transfers, than it becomes relevant
Otherwise, we’re wasting time talking about it

median quail
#

Queue depth: How many input/output requests the ssd can handle. So a higher iops means higher qdepth

timid lava
trail kayak
median quail
timid lava
#

I thought this was just storage.

median quail
#

The optane was her choice for boot drive

timid lava
#

wow this changes everything

#

yeah now this is even more pointless

#

just pick an SSD

median quail
#

Yeah lol

median quail
timid lava
#

works

civic sail
trail kayak
#

actually since boot is first thing. the drive might not have time to hit q1 speeds so maybe the q20 - q32 speeds are better for boot time

timid lava
#

sure

#

That’s fine

trail kayak
#

iops and qd all refer to randoms btw.

timid lava
#

So which drive rhan

median quail
#

And sn850x 4TB for storage

trail kayak
#

since qd with sequential doesnt matter

timid lava
#

can we please just settle on a drive

Dream just buy whatever you want and when your drives get ran all over by a $40 ssd…well we told you

#

slow drive for boot and fast drive for mass storage seems funny

timid lava

And it’s not even using all the bandwidth for it

median quail
#

Whatever you do, don’t buy gen 5

timid lava
#

Please

#

Please don’t

#

it’s so pointless

#

we barely use half of gen 4

#

Let alone 5

solemn walrus
#

that goes for gpus

#

not ssds

timid lava
#

of course we’ve maxed it up but

tulip pelican
#

Even games will only load so fast so. Gen 5 game drives are a waste of money it’s a limitation on the engine and the cpu so no performance increases

timid lava
#

Those are people who actually push them to the max

trail kayak
#

i might not just because its a bad investment. not because gen 5 is overall bad. i agree the speed isnt the reason to buy gen 5. but most motherboards offer gen 5 m.2 slots now.

and also the gen 5 offers versatility in that it allows higher capacity storage at (basically gen 4 speed) which is like who cares when you can just go 2 gen 4 ssds then and still be under the price of one gen 5 ssd.

but i guess it boils down to max mb storage. which i wont be hitting. but higher cap on one drive ultimately helps you further push that goal

median quail

#

by a bad investment what i mean is the ssd market itself in terms of financial investing similar to the gpu market in the way that you should think of it as an investment like gold etc.

but in the ssd market, its basically a lose lose situation where your investment is always a bad one meaning that no matter what ssd you get, in 5 years it will be worth much less and it only scales more after 10 years, 15 years, 20 years etc.

might as well

blazing nova

some people just buy it if it's a high end system

like fair enough

like crucial p5 plus, sn850x, kc3000, 980 pro all are high end drives

tawdry ferry

high end gen 4 drives with dram cache

blazing nova
#

yea even better

#

if it's a gen 4 motherboard and you have a big budget, make use of the mobo

tawdry ferry

sure if you're doing video edit, but as a boot drive/general storage, nope

blazing nova
tawdry ferry

easier ways to make use of the speed

like 100 bucks isnt even that much for for a 2tb gen 4 drive, i bought a sata for more KEKW

and honestly some don't have a full grasp on data management

well at the time it seemed like a good deal , it was like a year or more ago

#

it's kind of a preference thing too, some people just buy them cause they like them for whatever reason , like trident z ram

oh so these are the only 2 m.2 nvme ssds that have the highest cache of about 4gb

its weird, ram is becoming more like storage, and storage is becoming more like ram

#

things that would make use of it's performance and nature

tawdry ferry
#

dram cache is nice on a drive, but not always needed

trail kayak
#

it seems like its similar to sequential speeds in terms of what is helps with but it actually does more

#

so the cache is definitely more important than base sequential speed

tawdry ferry
#

your specific use case and wants will never take use of that much dram cache

trail kayak
#

but it honestly seems more important than random r/w speed too

tawdry ferry

since almost all ssds have very similar random 4kqd1 speeds

how much should your dram buffer be

several gen4 drives there btw showing that it has no performance gains over a gen 3 drive let alone a sata 2,5

if they really want it that much , just get a gen 4

for hobbiest video editing 1-2gb dram cache is fine, any more is welcomed

# pale cove gen 5 is a big waste of money

Even Gen4 NVMe is overkill for most consumer workloads. Not saying don't buy it, especially since it's kinda the defacto standard these days, but it's one of those "unless you know you need it, you probably don't really need it" things. I just buy whatever brand name NVMe drive (with DRAM cache) is on sale these days.

Sn850x is tge choice threshold also a whole excel sheet if you google ssd tier list

#

It has most ssds in existence I'm pretty sure

#

It sorts them in order or high to low end and so on

trail kayak
#

but i actually dont care what is / isnt overkill

#

the gen speed is still just an additive trait

#

its the whole drive itself since different drives have different advantages

tiny verge
#

I don’t think any gen 3 drive will out perform a gen 5 drive, unless made to specifically be a slow piece of shit

trail kayak
#

almost every optane drive is 3x4

#

there is also an 8tb nas hdd that out performs almost every ssd on the market

noble maple
#

^^

fluid maple
#

Just because gen 5 has higher bandwidth that doesn't mean a gen 5 ssd will use it all

noble maple
#

im pretty sure a gen 3 can outperform something that overheats itself

fluid maple
#

A high end gen 3 drive uses all the bandwidth available to it a normal gen 5 drive won't use all the available bandwidth bc it just fucking cant

noble maple
#

fr

fluid maple
#

It'll overheat before getting to gen 3 speeds lol

noble maple
#

exactly

trail kayak
#

gen 5 has huge potential tho. and it already shows on the t700 its just a little overpriced for what it is which is just a higher cap lossless gen 4 ssd.

you can basically have a regular gen 5 ssd still be tlc and perform at higher rates as if it were a 2tb gen 4 drive. its not really faster but its the fastest 4tb drive.

this allows you to go one 4tb drive instead of two 2tb drives. gen 4 ssds that get to 4tb and 8 tb start using qlc to acheive those capacities where with gen 5 qlc is not needed.

#

still minor and not worth +$200

noble maple
#

gen 5 is stupid atm

#

still has potential tho

trail kayak
#

its just too early

#

but a 4tb gen 4 ssd is actually going to not perform as well as a 2tb gen 4 ssd

noble maple
#

well duh

trail kayak
#

i honestly thought at first that cap didnt play a part in that

#

but it definitely does

noble maple
#

a truck at full capcity wont go as fast as the same model thats emty

trail kayak

its more than just tlc and qlc tho

#

im gonna consider

4tb t700 gen 5x4
2tb 990 pro gen 4x4
2tb sn850x
1tb p5 plus

#

i have more that im looking into

here are the most popular drives. which isnt a surprise
