In 2023 there was a surplus of SSDs and were very cheap. Took advantage to buy a Samsung 970 Evo Plus 1TB for around $60. It isn't available anymore, but I bet it'll cost over $200 if it was today. AI ruined everything.

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

I'm still stuck on PCIe 3 with two Samsung 970 Evo plus. I write stuck, but honestly the SSD speed isn't bottlenecking anything. Maybe if prices where normal, an upgrade would be an option, but there's so little pain using PCIe 3, I'm not even willing to upgrade to PCIe 4

NHD15 is not a good cooler for the price, its very close in perf to a $30 peerless assassin. You could change the gpu to a 5080 or 4080sI would change AIO to a galahad ii trinity 360mm perf as its the best perf (arctic 3 is quieter but max cooling is less) The 990 pro is honestly overkill, a 990 evo

So we've been benchmarking SSDs and HDDs for several months now. With the recent SSD news, I figured it’d might be worthwhile to describe a bit of what we’ve been seeing in testing.
TLDR: While benchmarking 8 popular 1TB SSDs we noticed that several showed significant sequential I/O performance de

I have a complete Arr stack, Jellyfin, qbit, cross-seed, etc. (13 containers in total) running on the stock 8gb that came with my Pro and it’s sitting at 3gb ram used. Absolutely no issues watching Jellyfin content. Definitely get a cheap 256gb NVMe for an applications drive. Nothing fancy since the

I have both a 970 evo plus and 990 evo plus, and their is absolutely no difference in gaming. I wouldn't bother unless you just need more storage space.

990 Pro that wasn't cheap enough to compete against things like the WD SN850X. Precisely. Or the KC3000. The only competitive Samsung NVMe I can think of was the 970 EVO Plus. You're really going to say they're washed because they had one pretty mid product release in the current generation? No, I'm

I wonder why the load times on SSD are still impacted when random access is fast random reads on regular nand haven't improved much in the past nearly 10 years now. An Intel Optane PCIe 3.0 x2 SSD still has nearly triple the RND4K QT1T performance of a PCIe 4.0 x4 Samsung 990 Pro despite the 990 Pro
