Shitty thing is having to hook the adaptors into the NVMe slots, which can be of questionable quality

You can always get the Amphenol cable (branded as Diliving on amazon) that's the same OEM and identical to the cables Intel shipped with Optane drives. The "gen 5" cable apparently does work at gen 4 speeds.
Depends on if cooling and power usage is a concern, basically is it for a desktop or laptop?
If it's for a laptop
Then this, you want a P41
For desktops where power and cooling isn't an issue iirc a 990 Pro gets the best overall benchmarks, uses about 10% more power though in most powerstates so again, I wouldn't use one in a laptop
put the "more is better" aside; can anyone tell me why 1TB nvme or SSD isn't sufficient if I'm just using it to store my OS? I use SSDs to run my games off of and I store my downloads on an HDD. why do I need 2TB?
Buy whatever you can get a good deal on, they’re all pretty good if it’s a name brand. If you want the best performance then watch some GN or LTT video or something
8TB sabrent or 2TB kingston with dram.
Samsung is btfo on a daily basis in my household.
Samsung is the best tho.
>$2000 for 8TB of NVMe SSD
Damn
They are actually *only* 1200
Still can get basically the same capacity for half the price in u.2 format

Link me these 2TB Kingston's with DRAM
KC3000 2TB model. I got the 1TB one for a new build, I will buy a 2TB kc3000 after a small raise.
both mogged by Crucial T705
>pci5
Pci6 ssds will mog that trash.
Consumer boards that support PCIE gen 6 don’t exist yet and won’t until at least Autumn.
Guess what, PCie gen5 won't exist in my home for 10 years. Just this year, I went from gen3 to gen4 on desktop.
Can't touch PCIe Gen 7. No way José
Solidigm is supposedly rebranded SK Hynix and very good

the cheapest one with dram and tlc
a gen3 drive with MLC is the best gen4 nvme ssd
cope
flash type doesnt matter anymore as much as firmware implementation, as long as your drive has cache and at least 2tb it will be good.
tbh I wish ssd manufacturers werent so stingy, we should be at 8tb/16tb right now, and 4/8gb caches would do a lot

snake oil, buy a SATA SSD
snake oil from some species of snakes is high in omega-3 fatty acids. Hard to find snake oil sales-people these days.

Easy. Just say you want to buy some AI stuff.

My main guy NasCompares never talked about it, so I'll pass.

No one is talking to you, homie.
>unwittingly telegraphs he's a nobody
English is hard for you? Better read some little prince in French.
>no one
Yes, you're a nobody. Noted.
Drives slow down when over 50% capacity, meaning you only have 500GB of storage for your vidya, which is like what 4 games in 2024?
I didn't know this. So what's the optimal solution/use case?
gen 4 ssds are almost worthless, optane moggs all

Do any of you use PCIe x1 slot for anything?
