980

It’s fair to be out of the loop. If you’re not a big MS shop or heavily into MDM there is a good chance you would never know. I had absolutely no idea about the 980 Pro bug (https://www.tomshardware.com/news/samsung-980-pro-ssd-failures-firmware-update) which I was told everyone knew about. I found

You're effectively trying to make an argument about this without providing proper details. So I'll do it for you. Smaller external HDDs that can be powered from a USB port are indeed built worse than larger HDDs which would require an external power supply to turn on (because they demand 12-volt pow

Interesting experiment, but one thing that makes the results feel a bit incomplete is that the “consumer SSD” side of the comparison isn’t really well specified. The enterprise side is very clearly defined ( ALL Micron 7300 MAX 3.2TB drives) but the consumer side is mostly just described generically

It’s crazy I bought some SSD drives for $99 in 2022, 2023 M2 NVMe’s Samsung 980 Pro 1TB -$99 Corsair Pro 600 with heatsink -$99 Each drive has gone up today to $287/$294 respectively That’s insane almost a 200% increase for the same size and tech in 2 years time. And several S6 drives, the market ha

I have no idea. But typically i would backup 2x then wipe as part of doing firmware. Apparently there is a generation of Samsung nvme 980, and 990 firmware that cuts the functional ssd lifespan to half. Which is why I commented.

I think I have the same problem. Does your Steam for no reason slow down or something when that happens? I got Samsung 980 1 TB PCIe 3.0 and for no reason it's just so...slow man....

Sadly i do the same as u/davidthek1ng too because its the easiest and laziest way out, but it's also the most risky and unadvised method to go about doing this, we should all be installing a secondary OS on a separate drive. It doesnt need to cost a fortune, it just needs to be a basic 128GB or 256G

For quiet build your Be Quiet choices are solid, I use their stuff too and it's really good for noise levels. The 9700X might be bit overkill if you're doing light gaming though - could save some money there and put it toward better GPU since that RTX 5060Ti doesn't exist yet (think you mean 4060Ti?

It's a Samsung PM9A1 which is based on the exact hardware of the 980 pro with just different firmware for OEMs and laptops. It won't reach 7000. It doesn't have the hardware to do so.

I have 32GB DDR5 5200, and Samsung EVO 980 PRO 500gb ssd, it doesn't help much2 years ago with the same setup at POE1 I had much better experience, stable 120FPS, no lags, no crashes, any juiced content.
