990 PRO

I’m using a RAID 0 setup dedicated solely to my Steam/Epic game library. It read/writes at 13GB/sec. Two 1TB Samsung Pro 990 SSDs. It’s absolutely complete overkill; I just launched Stalker 2 and loaded my latest quicksave to test it and my max read rate looking at one drive was 249.455MB/sec. Both

I maxed out my 12 core Xeon / D300 combo with 128 GB of RAM and got an adapter to use regular nvme drives with it, then dropped in a 4TB Samsung 990 Pro. Then I installed Proxmox and set up multiple VMs (Windows Server 2019, Windows 11 Pro, and Ubuntu Server). Also running a few LXCs for things like

You do not notice SSD speed differences in daily use. The Samsung 990Pro is the benchmark in PCIe4.0 SSDs - much faster on paper and in benchmarks than the OEM PM 981. I have retrofitted quite a few of those in xx80-generation Thinkpads and the faster speeds compared to the old Samsung PM981 these s

Benchmarks show cap of 1.4GB/s for 990 pro https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/samsung-990-pro-ssd-review/2 SSD is definitely not the culprit here, 1.4GB/s translates to around 10Gbps. Most likely OP is CPU/RAM capped.

Google this: “Highest TBW external SSD” TBW means terabytes written. It tells you how much data the SSD is rated to write before it is considered worn out. Higher TBW = better endurance on paper. For normal use, you probably won’t ever hit the TBW limit. Even with lots of file transfers, a good SSD

Still going strong. Ended up replacing the SSD with a Samsung 990Pro 1Tb and repasting the CPU with some Arctic MX-6. It's been impeccable so far, by far the best laptop experience I have ever had. I bring it with me on my backpack everywhere I go and it's perfect at that. The build quality is prett

Samsungs 2Tb 990 Pro is a good pick and more than enough for gaming. otherwiese any other pcie 4.0 nvme will do from a reputable brand. Only if they are cheaper by a good amount tho.

High end rig for sure but 1tb wd blue 🤣 not even t500 or wd sn 850 or samsung 990 pro

The Asus TUF or MSI Gaming X Trio would be solid picks for your needs - both have excellent cooling and run pretty quiet while not breaking the bank with unnecessary premium features. For the SSD, skip the FireCuda 530 and grab a Samsung 990 Pro or WD SN850X instead, they're usually cheaper in Germa

That Samsung drive is really fast, but unless you're using it for work it's a bit pointless. Look into real world gaming performances of gen 4 vs gen 5 ssd's. Spoiler alert there's close to 0 difference. That being said you could still make an upgrade to the ssd. There are 2 nand types in ssd's, QLC
