970 EVO

Back in early 2023, Samsung 970 Evo Plus 500GB drives were going for under $30. Should’ve bought hundreds.

I read that a lot, but my Samsung 970 EVO 1TB still has only 1% wearout, it's running for about 3 years now. Are only cheap drives affected with low TBW?

I had this to. Apperantly it was not running well with my Lexar NM790 nvme ssd at the moment of the stutters it was spiking to 100% usage with only 55mb/s reading speed. Ive moved the game to my secondary slower Samsung 970 evo plus and now the reads speeds stay high while usage stay low while drivi

6800 is not a high end GPU. It's 2 generations old Mid tier. The 11500 is also a low tier chip. The 850w psu is way oversized.

You may be interested in Samsung 970 EVO Plus, WD Blue SN570, or Kingston NV2. Any of the Gen3 NVMe drives will work well, as they are all fast and quite easy to find when compared to Crucial. Just select the one that is the cheapest for you.

i feel you on being scared to open it up. your AN517-54 has two m.2 slots and they're both pcie gen3, not gen4. that crucial t500 will work but it'll run at gen3 speeds (about 3500mb/s) so you're paying extra for speed you cant use. id grab a gen3 drive like the samsung 970 evo plus or crucial p3 in

Probably not. Its not exactly a t480, but I got an i5 t490s recently. It was going for the same price as the t480 lineup and it had 32 gb ram soldered (16+ gigs of sodimm ram costs as much as a whole thinkpad nowadays). I swapped out the drive for a Samsung 970 evo plus and an intel ax210, both of w
