Yeah but if you're poor, you don't have to go with Samsung
but i trust samsung more than other companies, besides crucial
I love blogposting albeit
Get 970
I've used them plus the Samsung magician softer for transferring shit is nice
is this pcie 4.0
3.0
Nobody would give a frick if you sliced you Black person eyes out right now, much less any of your pathetic homosexual storage needs
Lurk more.
Eat your dads cum out of the carpet less Black person trash
It's alright, buy that shit.
I'll take blogposting over hornyposting or nintendoposting any time.
You will never be a woman.
Isnt 1tb like $45 on slick deals rn? Just fricking buy one
its good but overpriced
I like the KC 3000. Very cheap for gen 4 with no compromises
>970
Poor Black person detected
yeah, it's absolutely fine. I'm using a crucial 512gb stick in my diagnostics chinkpad, goes dandy.
The only reason you really need to focus on a brand is if you're doing something specific. If you're gonna be read/writing 24/7 I think samsung has some issues, and there's one WD stick that's better, but for general consumer use, 970/980 are pretty close to the tip top for reliability.
i still have a hdd man
my computer flipped and my hdd broke. m.2 is way faster but it doesnt feel the same 🙁
Get a WD SN770 instead
So long as you don't buy the 980 Pro you're fine honestly
990 status is unknown
what's wrong with the 980 pro? is it the most popular?
Costs way more with very little advantage compared to the 970 EVO Plus.
Now the 990 PRO on the other hand is the defacto baseline standard for gaming SSDs in the M.2 format and, basically, you're a poor little Black person if you don't have two of these installed.
sheeeeet well since I only play 20 year old games anyway I haven't upgraded in awhile but I guess I should
i got to get me one of these
>even the most recent DirectStorage title doesn’t benefit from PCIe 4.0 let alone 5.0 speeds
lol
lmao
anything above a 970 Evo is de facto overkill
>he posts this just as im looking at getting two saberant rocket 4TB SSds
I got a 970 pro back when it was the top of the line. I don't feel a need to upgrade as of yet.
There was a issue a few months back with Samsung when one of their closest business partners stopped buying Samsung 980 Pros because they were prone to early failures IIRC.
There was a firmware bug that nuked the SSD, specifically on 980 pros that's otherwise pretty much fixed by upgrading the firmware via Samsung Magician
Disregard that warning for the 980 pro, but be cautious on anything new released after that just in case it happens again
OP my new build uses 960 Evo Plus 1TB and it nuked itself. It was my first Samsung SSD and also my first NVMe so you can imagine the shit I went through. The drive is technically at 99% health but something related to firmware or the controller that thinks the drive is dead and nuked itself into read only state, so I couldn't boot into OS.
Oops fat fingered it I meant 970 Evo Plus
>nvme
>storage
lmfao
genuine question because I'm new to storage in general, how should I be setting up a little drive bay, with 6 drives. I've got the money to buy 6 2tb drives, which is just a hair over what I'm looking to store, but I have no idea how I should actually set up the array.
SSD for mass storage is a waste of money
SSDs cost now what hard drives did when i first considered HDDs to be cheap.
Except they don't. For the price of a 4tb SSD you can get a 8tb HDD
you're just proving my point dog.
i remember when even a 1tb hdd was a big buy, and when they finally became cheap enough to put in a home computer.
and now you can get 4tb ssd's cheaper than those were.
>I'm poor but i'm running out of storage.
NVMe's are a complete meme. I have noticed no difference between them and an SSD. Get a 2tb SSD or a WD Black 4tb HDD.
They're cheaper than SSDs these days. If you have open slots there's no reason not to pick one up.
>If you have open slots there's no reason not to pick one up.
NVMe's suck dick and I'm never buying another one.
sauce
>that ram speed
wew
what's wrong with 3200mhz cl16?
DOUBLE DATA RATE moron
I'm tired, anon, I read the numbers and thought "what that's not 3200 why isn't it 3200 thats what the number should be" and assumed you were a homosexual when I was really the homosexual.
we're all homosexuals at some point, but you rise above when you admit it and improve. Godspeed.
lmao
>amd
>wangblows
Oh shit Black person what are you doing.
dude wtf is that cpu temp, get some proper cooling motherfricker
>cpu at 101 C
bruh
And this is the PC I built in 2014, that's in the living room as a guest/entertainment center pc. There is NO FRICKING GAIN, when you go from a good SSD to a NVME's. I have noticed no improvement when I use this PC or the old one for average. Zero, ziltch, nada. What ever gains you get from an NVMe are purely imaginary. Maybe it's a second or two faster or maybe you blinked.
Do I have to encode 500 gigabytes of video data to notice the gains?
What are your reasons for not liking NVMEs? As I said they are typically cheaper than SSDs. Even if your results are telling you they're not any faster than SSDs, why the frick would you pay more for the same shit? I replaced 2 of my much older 1tb HDDs with nvmes so the gains are obvious to me.
Can't I just get SATA SSD instead? I only have 1 NVME slot and my graphic card will slow down if I use my PCIE slot for more NVME.
They're great drives, plenty fast.
you can get really good price/gb ratio if you stay away from NVMe
Samsung, WD, Crucial are all good brands
Bought that 3 months ago and it's fine to me.
crucial p3 plus
>$80
>gen 4
>5000 mb/s
Samsung 970 evo
>$80
>gen 3
>3500 mb/s
Am i missing something?
comparing a modern m.2 to one that's years old.
I hear crucial is qlc so apparently that means it won't last as long as a tlc nvme? Boy i'm having decision fatigue
Crucial is usually great for budgets and high speed, but they wear out quicker than other brands because of that. Samsung is slower for the same price but last a lot longer. It depends on what you do though so if you're just gaming and not doing anything high-intensity like large file transfers (100s of gigs quickly) or doing constant writing to your drive, you'd be fine with either.
No. See
I own their 4tb p3 plus (it's gen4). I'm even temporarily gutting its performance by placing it into a Gen3 slot and it's perfectly fine. I have
>960 evo
>970 evo plus
>990 pro
The 60 and 70 were and still are perfectly fine. The 90 pro sufferred even worse than what the 80 did due to the firmware issue (the meme tomshardware article sums that up). My drive's SMART health has 5% shaved off as a result of the chip shredding itself. I also have Crucial's x8 and it's top titty if you're plugging it into a usb-c port that can actually deliver the speeds. It will singe your hands though so watch out. Anyway, Samsung's a fricking meme. Take anons' advice itt, they know what they're talking about. Except ignore
, he doesn't know what he's saying, See
Samshit slashed prices on their 980s and 990s because they're fundamentally broken and had to be patched via firmware.
Avoid Samshit at all costs, stick to Sabrent/Crucial/WD/SK Hynix/Seagate.
Avoid Corsair/Gigabyte/Teamgroup/others.
>avoid corsair/gigabyte/Teamgroup/others.
Why Gigabyte?
Apart from that one exploding PSU everything else from them is fine
I went with Kingston Renegade, waiting for it to arrive. Also heard good things about the SN850X
You can buy a 2TB gen 4 nvme drive for like $85 now....
it's alright
-Posted from my SAMSUNG 1TB V-NAND SSD 970 EVO Plus NVMe M.2
Had no problem with my laptop with it. Going on 3 years and still great. M.2 or Ssd really dont last as long.
I've got two of these things and haven't had any issues after nearly two years. I never even knew about them nuking themselves before this thread, but I just checked and they're both at latest firmware. I dunno if some just ship with lower firmware or what.
It was almost exclusive to 980 Pro sticks.
Get a 980 2tb for $100 of Amazon, or a 990 2tb for $130. If you want to splurge get a 980 4tb for $300 on Newegg. I have all of these and more after setting up my NAS with 4 990 2tb., I bought a 4tb for WinToUSB on my steam deck. Also have a 4tb in my PS5.
>half the thread saying samsung is reliable
>other half saying it bricks after a year
god i hate this site
Ganker is the absolute last place to get PC advice, even worse than Gankerpcbg (which is mostly Ganker crossposters anyway)
Theres a specific samsung NVMe drive that was bricking recently
It was specifically the 980 Pro 2TB, manufactured between 2021-22. There's a firmware update that fixes it, and if you got one made after March 2023, it should already be fixed.
Works fine on my machine.
I do video editing and stable diffusion stuff
sorry im moronic
>20+ TB
What the frick are you storing there?
Are you not afraid of downloading from internet on Windows 10?
like 7TB is currently stable diffusion
15TB is my old youtube channel that I need to edit and repost clean since google cracked down on bad words a ton and I didnt want to get account wiped off the planet with 3 strikes one day when they did some "we cracked down on 2 bad words in the first 20 seconds and deleted every video" and then a "lol well that was too rough of a crackdown so we reverted it back to the old rule dont worry. Oh all the videos we deleted? yeah those are still deleted and the strikes still stand. LOL XD" which they literally did like a month after I downloaded and deleted my channel. Its just a lot of work. The rest is mostly redundant copies of family photos and videos and raw footage or gaming storage.
Like 4 of the harddrives were gifts from an ex.
dont listen to the morons in PCBG it will still be just fine for storage
i just like filling up my slots lol im on neetbux lmao no skin off my shoes
I have a samsung ssd and it's still holding up after 4 years
just love a bit of storage for me choons and talking pictures as well as interactive 3D experiences Flight Simulators and many miscellaneous Programs i like to Run. Brings me a bit of enjoyment .
For cheap SSD personally have the best experience with Kingston and OCZ.
I just need an ssd to have windows and some programs on, what should I get? A WD or a Crucial?
WD Black, Crucial P5, and Samsung 980/990 are all fine. Just avoid QLC drives (Crucial P5 Plus, Intel 670p)
never get a seagate
>first time using an ssd
>teleport in an open world game
>eject cum
i bought a 1tb 970 evo plus but im too lazy to reinstall windows to really make use of it, meanwhile im coping with my ancient 120gb sata C: installation
I just moved my old 240GB SATA SDD with Windows installed to my new PC to use as a boot drive and my new NVMe will be used exclusively for games.
What am I missing out on by not installing Windows on my NVMe drive?
I feel like everything boots fast enough already.
Nothing really major besides a little bit faster and your m.2 wouldn't take up much space.
980pro is bare minimum for games
There are morons that unironically believe this.
What is better?
Buy second 1tb SSD for games? Or buy 2TB SSD and have one instead of 2?
I got the 970 evo 1tb for my OS and i got my 970 evo plus 2tb for my games. Both still going great even if they're old. Get a 970 evo plus 2tb now for $79 on Amazon or get the 990 pro for $79 on amazon. There's a lot companies producing decent or equal to samsung's m.2 ssds, but you got to compare each one to see which is good for YOU.
I don't know why someone would pay more to get anything for gaming other than the WD Blue or its equivalents.
shit
It absolutely does fricking not hold up if you are running out of "storage". You can get a 4tb HDD for the price of this 1tb SSD.
Why the frick would you need a SSD for "storage".
>hdd troon talking about holding up
lol, lmao even
>nvme
>storage
you
moronic
nvme is for HD video editing and shit, there is zero reason to ever use these for general storage at all ever
Same cost as regular ssds and easier to install.
Black person they cost like $80, same as some HDDs
literally no reason not to buy an nvme
have a nice day tails c*ck
why do SSDs look like RAM sticks now?
when did this happend?
Samsung is overpriced get Adata instead.
