The Mother Fucker 26 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 (edited) Thought I'd let you all know. I almost picked up 4 NVMes from Crucial P1 1TB ($104.99 Cruicial.com or Amazon) and later looked at the Samsung 970 Pro 512GB ($149.99 Amazon) that the now cost the same price as my 960 Evo I bought in 2018. Then I realized I have a compulsive electronic buying disorder and emptied my cart. Edited June 23, 2020 by The Mother Fucker Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Impossible 407 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 LOL No thanks. I picked up two 4 TB portable drives for $200. I realize the speed advantage but I need space more than I need speed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Substatic 421 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 I've been buying regular ones 1gb ssd whenever they are like $60-70. Is there a big difference in speed vs those and NVME? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think you mean you buy 1TB ssds. the NVMe type M.2 SSDs speed range from 1100 - 3500 MBps read/write (and the Newer PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSDs speeds are up to 4000-5000MBps read/writes) SATA M.2 SSDs & regular 2.5" SSDs speeds only max at about 600MBps read/write. Faster than traditional HDDs that are 150MB/s I only buy the old SSDs now almost out of novelty they fill up my PC case. They are good for being a boot OS drive over traditional HDDs, but the meat and potatoes of tech today is the M.2 NVME SSDs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
James Skywalker 528 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 I guess the distributors are in a solid state, now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have a few SSD they are all just plain old regular ones. I only keep up on GPUs. How much faster load times does this translate to?
