    Thanks OP. Anyone tried these on a PCIe x4 card? Is there a recommended model?

    • skil008 on 15/06/2020 - 09:14

      We bought some Gen4 PCIe SSDs with a recommendation from our external IT supplier and really did not notice any difference. One colleague even complained that there was a short "lag" when the SDD strained for a continuous workload. Also double check if your motherboard is compatible with PCIe 4.0 like x570.

        Yeah its a wierd situation with NVMe drives at the moment. The only time you could possibly notice the speed increase is in large transfers, which strangely most drives end up getting too hot and throttling speed, or run out of cache and slow down. I think wait till better drives come out and stick with m.2 SATA for the moment personally.

        • Skramit on 15/06/2020 - 09:26

          most nvme wont throttle unless you are absolutely smashing it for sustained usage over time i.e. computational tasks. that wont apply to 99% of people buying nvme drives.

          • Kill Joy on 15/06/2020 - 09:34
            +1

            @Skramit: But thats the catch - if you're not doing sustained and large file transfer or intense disk access (for example media editing) then why have an NVMe drive when SATA is more than sufficient right now? The only difference you'll see is in benchmarks. Your windows wont boot faster, your games/programs wont load (noticeably) quicker. I may be missing something but I dont see the point right now.

            • Skramit on 15/06/2020 - 09:40
              +1

              @Kill Joy: Agreed.

              But given the pricing is very similar to SATA, I would personally go NVMe with the ~3000MB/s read capability, as over the next few years I can see more games and things taking advantage of this with bigger and bigger textures as GPU power continues to increase.

              SATA M.2 (or 2.5") for any seriously budget conscious individual is a good call though. You wouldnt see much if any difference in todays computing/gaming.

              But for average gamer, NVMe would be my recommendation if the price is right, given you can snap up a 1TB NVMe with good specs for ~$200. I mean… pre-covid I grabbed a SP A80 1TB for $153!!

              • Kill Joy on 15/06/2020 - 09:45

                @Skramit: At $153, i'd buy it I guess.

                But I feel that you'd still need to upgrade it in the future because of the throttling issues identified in this generation. I'd say a game constantly streaming huge textures is going to cause issue on these early NVMe drives to the point where you might as well have just stuck with SATA and saved that money to buy more effecient NVMe drives once required. I'm buying a B550 board with PCIE 4 support for this exact reason but putting in a SATA m.2 for now since I know better and cheaper NVMe drives will be plentiful once the demand is there.

                • Skramit on 15/06/2020 - 09:49

                  @Kill Joy: Got any reviews that show the thermal throttling for regular tasks ie gaming, video editing?

                  I think you’re over stating the thermal issues a bit.

                  • Kill Joy on 15/06/2020 - 09:57

                    @Skramit: As for gaming, I've mentioend they dont take advantage yet so no throttling. I'm speculating that when they do, it'll be an issue.

                    Here is the Samsung 950 Pro review by pugesystems. It indicates that it showed throttling in under 6 seconds due to excessive heat. This can be caused by extreme OI loads which is typically of video editing/3D animation OR ambient temps being too high.

                    Now my thinking is while gaming, temps are usually much higher then at idle, so ambient temps will increase chance of thermal throttling regardless of NVMe load. But if you then factor in large texture buffering that is to come in the future, I'd say its a very high chance of throttling during gaming by the time NVMe drive sare utulized by games.

                    The worst part is with this throttling, the speed can actually end up being slower than SATA, so in some scenario you are actually worse off with NVMe. Now knowing that it could throttle lower than SATA speeds, i wouldnt even buy it at $153 to be honest. You could try mitigate these issues with m.2 cooling solutions but at that point, your spending even more money.

                    I agree is very speculative and could not be an issue but I feel the risk is obvious enough that you shouldn't bother especially at these prices.

                    • Skramit on 15/06/2020 - 10:31

                      @Kill Joy: Looks like Samsung improved this issue with the 970 Pro:

                      https://www.techpowerup.com/review/samsung-970-pro-ssd-512-g….

                      The 960 Pro is a 4 year old drive now.

                      970 Pro: "To put things into perspective, at 2 GB/s, for 150 seconds, the drive will only start thermal throttling after 300 GB of data have been written."

                      That's an insane amount of writes, not normal for 99.9% of users.

                      • Kill Joy on 15/06/2020 - 12:10

                        @Skramit: 970 Pro is double the price of NVME drives we are discussing. Sure if you're getting a 970 Pro I conceed it is pretty future proof as far as current NVMe drives go.

                        That's an insane amount of writes, not normal for 99.9% of users.

                        and of the 99.9% of users, 99.8% dont need an NVMe drive which is my point. I'm just trying to educate people that NVMe is not required right now for 99% of people, and by the time it is, drives will be cheaper and more efficient so dont waste your money during a recession.

                        • Skramit on 15/06/2020 - 12:31

                          @Kill Joy: Hey you brought up the 960 Pro which is the older model 970 pro :P

                          • Kill Joy on 15/06/2020 - 12:32

                            @Skramit: First google result for throttling - you're welcome to continue to research it - the results are there.

        lol

        a card like this: https://www.amazon.com.au/GLOTRENDS-Adapter-Aluminum-Heatsin…

        • mostlygordon on 15/06/2020 - 11:40

          Yes, that's what I meant. I'm looking at putting some VMWare virtual disks on it. The one you linked only get's 3 stars. There seem to be many models, just looking for a recommendation for a fast reliable unit.

      • jaxon on 17/06/2020 - 19:05

        any idea on what happens if i run this on a motherboard that only supports up to PCIe Gen 3 ?

        • Liquid Pro on 18/06/2020 - 03:53

      You should hit up Amazon, I ordered a 500GB and 1TB on 6/7 June and they shipped on 11/13 June.

    • JMxoxo on 15/06/2020 - 11:53

      I bought mine same deal and should be delivered tomorrow, definitely ask them what the go is.
      That being said, I have had many things in the past either not say they are shipped or I didnt get an email saying it was shipped. Only to receive it not long after I complained.

  • HeXo on 15/06/2020 - 09:10

  • monchee on 15/06/2020 - 09:26

    So I currently have a Crucial P1 as my main OS drive. I have an unused M.2 slot behind my motherboard. What are the real world benefits of going for this vs my P1?

    • danielliaus on 15/06/2020 - 09:36

      basically none

    • Kill Joy on 15/06/2020 - 09:36
      +2

      None. Read my comment above. It's future proofing for when apps and OS make better use of the extra speed, but current gen NVMe drives run hot so I'd wait for better models to come out later when the market is mature.

    • Skramit on 15/06/2020 - 09:41

      None.

      P1 is an excellent drive for c:\ windows 10 regular tasks and gaming.

    • netjock on 15/06/2020 - 09:44

      Probably none that you can notice.

    • Liquid Pro on 15/06/2020 - 10:03

      If you r not a pro user, no diff u can recognize…the only obvious diff is p1 us qlc and this one is tlc

  • VeronikaMaine on 15/06/2020 - 09:57

    Is this better than samsung evo?

  • plentifoo on 15/06/2020 - 10:26

  • clausboy on 15/06/2020 - 11:11

    wondering which one is better for gaming?
    get this internal nvme and get a external casing for it to use via usb-c or should i just get an external ssd via usb-c instead no fuss?

    • steven231 on 15/06/2020 - 11:29

      Or just plug it straight into your m.2 slot on your motherboard?

      • clausboy on 15/06/2020 - 11:33

        i would have if i can…
        its a laptop…

        • eecan on 15/06/2020 - 11:44

          NVME is not really worth it for gaming. Very little difference between that and SATA.

          I doubt you would notice the difference between those two different NVME drives for gaming.

        • steven231 on 15/06/2020 - 12:13

          Not sure how much a usb c enclosure is and how it performs, but definitely worth if its cheap. But you are still paying a premium for nvme speeds. Worth it or not is up to you.

  • bp1984 on 15/06/2020 - 11:38

    I got one of these 3 months ago, worked really well and very fast until it decided to die, it wasn't being detected anymore, I tried in different slots and different computers but no success. I requested a refund from amazon and got a 970 pro instead. Reading the reviews wasn't hard to find people complaining about the exact same problem I had.

    • mrbean12 on 15/06/2020 - 19:58

      Should be OK for the XPS 13, but I would recommend you google your exact model to double-check specifications.

    • Void on 16/06/2020 - 10:09

      It will most likely throttle with poor airflow but it should be fine as long as you aren't copying your 500GB homework folder around.

    • Liquid Pro on 16/06/2020 - 12:44

      Definite compatible with XPS, but 2 questions:

      1. Whether ur XPS has extra m.2 slot?

      2. Whether ur XPS has good thermal control?

      My suggestion is if XPS !3 then no, if XPS !5 then yes~~~
