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

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

Ahhhhh ok this is more what I was looking for. I had to google the board and threadripper but can you confirm its pic e 3.0? If that is the platform your nvmes are being bottlenecked by the mobo. So if you had a 990 pro from Samsung it will only read and write at 3500mb/s even though it’s labeled fo

For a motherboard, I would go with a b850m from gigabyte as it supports am5 and all the later things. For psu, just find a good one from cybernetics though I would recommend at the very least 750W gold 80+. Ram get 32gb 6000mhz ddr5 preferably with low latency though currently that’s pretty expensiv

Hey there, I just wanted to thank you because this comment helped me so much. I have Samsung 990 PRO 2TB SSD, which started working very poorly about 2 weeks ago, and I couldn't pinpoint the issue. The write speeds were terrible (about 300 MB/s max) and average response time was in hundreds of ms, w

For anyone else stumbling upon this thread from doing Google-searches: I recently bought 4TB Samsung 990 Pro NVMe, that I put in some Ugreen 20Gbps USB3.2 NVMe enclosure. Connected to a MacBook Pro M4 Max 16". System Information states that it connects with 10Gbps (3.1 Gen2), which makes sense since

For storage i highly(and i mean highly) recommend a Samsung 990 pro or WD SN850x any capacity, those have built in ram for faster load times and over 7000mBps transfer speeds

Yes. but PCI-e 4 is fully backwards compatible. If anything, fast PCI-e 4.0 SSDs like the aforementioned Samsung 990Pro saturate the bus in every scenario. PCI-e 3.0 x4 has a maximum realistic throughput of somewhere between 3500-3700 Gb/s. which is easily surpassed by modern SSDs. Samsung 990 Pro r

The Samsung 990 Pro isn't even overkill, it doesn't have DRAM, it's just a reliable SSD with good speed and TBW, it's just got overinflated because of AI, if you can't afford that try teamgroup Edit: The Samsung 990 pro has DRAM, it's way too overkill for gaming, it's better use for editing or any k

Yes, def gen5 is overkill for TB4, but, in my specific case I’ve purchsed Samsung 9100pro 4tb for the very attractive price (cheaper than the same sized Samsung 990pro). And decided to reuse one of my TM D1 Plus (TB4 one) since my mac does not support TB5 anyway. In this my setup 990pro and 9100pro
