  • PNY 4TB NVMe has been for $229 in the last week or two, but if your after these extra features maybe this is decent value.

    • +2

      Massively different drives. The pny is a fairly low mid range drive with Chinese nand and no dram. This is micron TLC and incredibly fast.

      But yeah, kinda half the price. Which is why cheap generally wins =P

      • Do you have info on that PNY uses YMTC QLC? Thought it would use Crucial QLC?

        • Wait. I think i was getting mixed up with the 10 series - went to look for my reference and couldn't find it. I missed they had their 20 series for $229! That was an amazing price…

          • @incipient: Saw that deal and it was like 64 in total and the deal lasted less than an hour? Not sure if I am lucky enough to have one later or never

          • +1

            @incipient: Yep I bought this.. Even the shipping was surprisingly good. Card itself has been pretty good with very decent sustained R/W when testing, using it as a secondary drive atm.

      • I too would like to know which one, as there's only one PNY in the spreadsheet that's listed as using YMTC, but that one caps out at 2tb

        Edit: And it seems they got them confused, never mind then!

      • now TLC is incredibly fast, how about MLC and SLC?

    • Yes I need to write at 6.8 GB/s at home because reasons.

      I used to work on the Telstra data warehouse and the sustained write was 200MB/s.

      • chatGPT from SkyNet needs even faster sequential write

        Things have changed with data warehouse (probably now have a new name: big data). Sustained write 200MB/s isn't going to be enough nowadays for data warehouse.

  • Will this be a waste to go into a motherboard that only supports gen 3 merely for Windows boot and AAA games?

    • +3

      Yes.

    • +1

      very big waste, you might as well get a gen 3 Samsung evo.

    • +2

      For now but look at that TBW. If you plan to upgrade in the near future it might be worth it for you.

    • +1

      Yes, it is a waste because the SSD will run in gen 3 mode (so at best 3500 / 3500).

      However, if you can afford it and really want it, then you can still get it. The reason is simple, most of us don't need PCIe gen 4 x4 (overkill) even if we have a PC that supports it, but we still get them.
