Repeat of the deal posted before for anyone who missed it.

Pro tip, buy two and put them in RAID0 (e.g. on AMD board) and you will see performance unmatched by any of the 2GB drives.

    RAID0 = Benchmarks will finish 0.01 nanoseconds faster, for epic epeen.

      And if one of the two drives fail, all your data is gone!

        And if your 2tb drive fails - all of your data is gone

          Super pro tip - buy 3! /jk

          I think it will be a very long time before a Samsung 980 Pro SSD fails.

          I'm still using a Samsung 970 Pro 512GB NVMe SSD from years ago. Written nearly 114TB to it so far and it's still going strong. I know it's the previous generation but the 980 Pro should be no different.

      • dr on 30/12/2022 - 18:46

        Absolutely correct! And absolutely deserved for anyone not having a backup!

        RAID0 may not be for everyone and not for every SSD, I'm comfortable using pair of 1TB 980 PRO for the past year or so. And there is probably zero noticeable difference loading apps, but for my workload involving a lot of disk I/O there is a noticeable difference.

      Or buy a Samsung 990 PRO or WD Black SN850X or soon to be released

      MSI SPATIUM M570 PCIe 5.0 NVMe SSD with up to 12 GB/s sequential read speeds

      With PCIe 5.0 drives expected to achieve data transfer speeds of 14,000MB/s or more,

      • hollykryten on 30/12/2022 - 18:44

        Only problem is you need a PCIe 5.0 motherboard to get that performance.

      • netsurfer on 31/12/2022 - 00:54

        MSI SPATIUM M570 PCIe 5.0 or other PCIe gen 5 x4 Phison E26 SSDs are going to be interesting.

        • Phison E26 supports 8 channels. However, we know ideally, we want PCIe gen 5 controller to support 16 channels. So, we will most likely see Phison E28 (or whatever Phison decides to name it later, which will support 16 channels).
        • The first gen PCIe 5.0 could leverage currently available multi layer TLC NANDs. While they now exceeds PCIe 4.0 technical maximum, they are not close to PCIe 5.0 maximum, so we may need to wait for improved TLC NANDs. Will all makers go for 232L TLC (preferred) or 176L TLC (less desirable).
        • From what we know on the initial speed test results, it will be hard to imagine PCIe gen 5 x4 SSDs not coming with a heatsink.

        Phison, Innogrit, SiliconMotion all have PCIe gen 5 SSD chipsets. Samsung and WD certainly have something too. If the Samsung enterprise PCIe gen 5 SSD benchmark is any indication, Phison E26 may not top the benchmark chart this time.

    The 990 is 199 doesnt require a heat sink

    • hollykryten on 30/12/2022 - 18:45

      980 Pro comes with a version which is without a heat sink. https://www.amazon.com.au/SAMSUNG-PCIe-Internal-Gaming-MZ-V8…

      It doesn't actually require it in a good ventilated system such as a PC case. I guess it only helps if you're going to be putting it in say a PS5 where there's less thermal ventilation. Actually i think this version the 980 Pro which comes with a heatsink is made with the PS5 in mind. That's what Mwave claims to be. https://www.mwave.com.au/product/samsung-980-pro-1tb-m2-nvme…

      For flagship PCIe gen 4 SSDs, whether you need a heat sink depends whether you will write to that SSD over a prolong period of time. If you have a usage pattern where you write to that SSD non-stop (i.e. cloning or copy a large amount data in one hit), then a heatsink is needed. Other thermal protection will kick in and performance will drop.

      However, for light writes and/or mostly reads, it is fine.

    Deal is over. It's showing as $244.32 now from seller Amazon UK.

    • dr on 30/12/2022 - 22:01

      Still shows as $171.44 for me (using your link too)

      • hollykryten on 30/12/2022 - 22:54

        I swear that it was showing $244.32 about 2 hours ago. Now it's back to the previous price. The price bot is doing some weird things.

        • netsurfer on 31/12/2022 - 07:38

          Yes, Amazon does that. I think it temporary went out of stock (so switched seller or switched back to the more expensive price), then more stock got added.

          • hollykryten on 31/12/2022 - 11:46

            @netsurfer: Nah. It was still showing as in stock at the time. Just it temporarily jacked the price up. As i said the Amazon pricing bot does some odd things.
