Confused about IOPS

What makes you believe a Lexar NM790 is more reliable than a Samsung 990 PRO, when both are running their latest firmware? If your customer wants the 990, and presumably was happy with the performance of the 990... give them another 990. They may still even be within the 5-year warranty.

[SSD] Lexar 4TB NM790 M.2 2280 $219.99 Costco

Yes, pricing goes up every week for drives with DRAM. Just look at the 870 EVO 4TB SSD that was $229 a few weeks ago to now $329

Gute Teile für 1.200€?

Schmutz. Eine 3050 hat nichts in einem 1100€ PC zu suchen.Das hier:https://www.dubaro.de/Partner/HardwareDealz-Editionen/HardwareDealz-1000-Edition::3684.htmlUnd tausche die SSD mit einer 2TB Variante. Bspw die Sn580 oder Lexar NM790.

Setup für Gaming PC

Consigli acquisto ssd 1 tb

Tutti e 3 DRAMless e con prestazioni dichiarate molto simili, a parte il Kingston che rimane un po' indietro. Il Lexar penso sia un rebranding del NM790 per il mercato asiatico ed è l'unico dei tre con chip TLC (gli altri due hanno QLC) quindi ha un TBW superiore. Io sulla base di questo prenderei i

What are the most reliable Samsung SSD models to grab this Black Friday 2025 deals?

990 Evo Plus. Performs roughly the same as a 990 Pro in real world scenarios while being cheaper. Edit to address people like the dude below: If you are not a heavy productivity user, DRAM drives are not a necessity. Many DRAM-less drives are extremely good or even better than a DRAM drive. For exam

[SSD] Lexar 4TB NM790 M.2 2280 $219.99 Costco

Snagged one! 50 bucks cheaper than the crucial P310, and neither have DRAM but this one only uses TLC instead of QLC. Time to return the P310 this week

Kingston KC3000, didn't seem that hot, in the 70°C range, but caused huge freezing and stuttering in windows, even some blue screens. Read/write speeds were very bad. I got a cheap heatsink from A

Help - SSD impending doom

The Crucial MX is at least "better" than the absolute-shite BX model, but it's still a desktop-rated drive and not suitable for 24/7 hypervisor use. The 500GB drive only has ~180TBW rating. If you want something that will actually last, go with a used Enterprise SSD off ebay or a "pro" rated 1TB dri
