SN770

Yes, you can do that. But usually, the SSD part of a (former) fusion drive is way too small for that to make sense (32 to 128GB). These sizes might be enough for the system to run but you have to remember the system needs space for cache and stuff. My suggestion: Would be better you buy an SSD like

You won't notice the difference in performance between the 990 Pro and T500 gaming SSDs (they're considered overkill). The NV2 will do the job, but its quality is average and it's a bit of a gamble. The most sensible options are mid-to-high-end SSDs like the WD SN770 P3 Plus or KC3000. The 990 Pro i

Depends on what you consider a smart purchase these days, with the ram/ssd pricing being through the roof, a solid build would orbit around a 3-in-1 style bundle for around $350-400ish. You could go the used route and save with used parts, ddr4. That said, a general guideline: you're limited to rx 5

I had thought the sn770 line was pretty solid. I could be wrong though.

The SN770 is quite good. The SPCC drives are unknown. Check with CrystalDiskInfo.

what helped me before with fake drives was using h2testw or crystaldiskinfo to get solid proof screenshots. that software shows real vs fake capacity and controller info. take those to the shop again and threaten consumer court or karachi's cyber crime circle. most shops fold when you mention legal

yeah apple's storage pricing is wild. i grabbed a Samsung T7 Shield 1tb for way less and it's been great. thunderbolt enclosures with nvme drives are faster but pricier - the ACASIS 40Gbps enclosure with a WD Black SN770 hits almost internal speeds. just install apps and even some games on it. works

I'm using a WD SN770 With 2tb works great No problems

shit, sn770 is one of the good ones. how do you know it's the storage? got a second drive to test and rule out the pc? is it a 13th or 14th gen intel? heck, not just that. asrock has issues with am5 boards. just update your bios before making a 200€ purchase.

990 EVO Plus is solid, but 150 € for 1 TB sounds a bit high now. Check local prices on things like WD Black SN770, Crucial P5 Plus, Kingston KC3000 etc. If any of those are close in price, I’d take the cheaper one with TLC and good warranty. About the Intel 660p: it’s QLC and already at 64% health.
