870 EVO

“One important thing to know: the BX500 is a DRAM-less budget SSD, so it’s perfectly fine for game storage, general use, media, or reviving an older PC, but it’s not as strong for heavy write workloads, VM use, or a main high-performance OS drive compared with something like a Samsung 870 EVO or a g

It's a pretty hot topic. I also base my setup on two 2TB Samsung 870EVO SSDs, and honestly, I've never had any problems, even with very long sessions in Prores Raw HQ at 5.9K. I haven't encountered any problems even when updating. Samsung EVO SSDs differ from Samsung Pro SSDs in how they manage writ

Respectfully, in the real world he may only see 1-2% of a performance loss with the gpu with PCIE3. For storage SATA SSDs are arguably more than fast enough for the vast majority of games to where there is pretty much no difference between a NVME or SATA and more than fast enough for anything else o

Yo ya me estoy pasando a SSD cuando puedo. Hasta un SATA, que ya es tecnología vieja comparada con NVMe, son mucho más rápidos. Sí, los discos duros pegan tirones en casi todo, a menos que sea mundial de viejo el software. Si podés, comprate un SSD SATA que sea TLC (no QLC, que esos son lentos) onda

It depends on use case. A few things though, first, don't get anything Synology, just avoid them. 870 Evo's in the right RAID config are mostly fine, not the fastest thing ever but that's ok. Enterprise is better if the workload is very write intensive. Go with iSCSI IMHO. You can use something like

Ended up buying a Samsung 870EVO 1tb for a fairly good price, and a cheap original atomos caddy on ebay. Hope it works! Not sure if it's gonna be fast enough to run 8k30fps ProRes RAW though...

Used enterprise hardware is the best storage value on the market right now, stop talking about things you know nothing about. I just bought an Intel S4520 960GB for €80. 99% health, barely used. It's formally rated for almost 5000 terabytes of writing in 5 years, 24/7 hammering, if it dies sooner th

Thanks so much for replying. I prefer the performance of SSD too. But the price of SSDs has exploded recently. For example, on Amazon In February 2026, the Samsung 870 EVO 1TB SSD price fluctuated between $103.99 and $179.99. The current price is $449.99. The Seagate 1 TB surveillance rated HDD can

Not trying to be that guy, but this post aged like milk. Microcenter is currently selling only one SATA SSD model: https://www.microcenter.com/product/709397/samsung-870-evo-8tb-ssd-tlc-v-nand-sata-iii-6gb-s-25-internal-solid-state-drive 8TB $4139.995-7 days to ship. These use the same components as

Esse ai, não...além de estar super caro, e não valer esse preço, o cache dele esgota rápido, quando tu baixar (exemplo aqui apenas) um jogo de 35gb, com uma net superior a 100mb, a velocidade vai cair pra 0b/s antes de terminar, pois o SSD ficará com 100% de uso mais vezes do que deveria, é uma bost
