  Hey everyone,

  I'm trying to decide on a 1TB Pcie Gen 4 OS SSD for my gaming PC.

  It's been a long time since I've kept up with the latest updates regarding SSDs.

  As I understand it the SK Hynix P41 Platinum, Samsung 990 Pro and WD SN850X offer around the same performance.

  But I do remember there were some issues with Samsung regarding memory controllers, overheating and data loss. Last I remember they got a few firmware updates. Were all the issues fixed? and does the memory controller for the Samsung matter?

  And do any of them still have overheating issues and would need a heatsink?

  Thanks

    For this use case, any old drive is just fine - it doesn't matter what you end up with.
    Boot times and game load times barely change between fast and slow SSDs.
    Either of these two drives are fine, but I would buy the Lexar drive from BPCTech.

  Would these be any good for recording to iPhone with ProRes video?

    They don't care about the file type but would enable quick transfers. Most phones are very slow at transferring though so an expensive one isn't going to change anything. These will only hold more stuff in your pc, most macs and all phones don't allow any upgrades.

  Thinking of a 1TB P31 Gold to stick in an Optiplex 7060 to run proxmox, is it overkill?

  But then I can get a Crucial 1TB P5 Plus for $10 more, which is even more overkill :)

    I have that exact same on a Optiplex 3060, sips around ~25W on idle and about 35W with moderate load. Had the samsung 970 Pro on here and the wattage varied a great deal from 30-40W idle to 50W with the same moderate load.

      Nice! You recommend the 1TB P31 Gold then?

        yep, like the laptops, they run cooler and better perf per-watt. Anywhere you want to save power & heat, I put the P31's.

        Looks like the non-micro's you can put two NVMe's, i have the 3060 Micro (So the thin ones) and only have a single 1TB P31 running Proxmox. My workload is postgres & build agents for ninja (ironically, build chromium nightly builds!)

          @thushan: Lol, I was chromium long before google existed :D

          Mine is a 7060 micro, so it only has one m.2 slots. I got it from ebay for $256. It arrived today. It's only got a 500GB SATA m.2 in it. It came with a single 16GB stick of RAM, so I've ordered another to bring it to 32GB. I plan on playing with proxmox on it. What processor is in yours? Mine's an 8500t. It also came with an HDMI port in the optional spot. which has proved handy

            @chromium: haha! Oh perfect! I have a 8700T but same 35W TDP as yours.

            You'll have a perfect proxmox setup. Ours run headless and I've disabled wifi, bt, sound, video etc (frugal with power!). You picked the right time because pre-Proxmox 6 we had issues with booting off nvme's. (combo of firmware and zfs woes).

              @thushan: Mine didn't even come with wifi or bluetooth! I don't really care, I wouldn't be using it anyway. I just wanted something cheapish to start playing and I might get something better if need be later.

              So yours has hyperthreading, nice! I've never installed proxmox before, so I'm a complete noob :)

  $10 off by using the Amazon app- doesn’t have to be your first purchase using the app. Brings the P41 2TB down to $178.99.

    Didn't work for me. "The code you entered is invalid"

  Per the other thread, looks like the code has now expired.

  For 1TB would you go this or the WD 850x as they are around the same price?

  I hate DST so, so much. Would think Amazon AU would work on varied time zones but guess it just defaults to DST. Missed out on this one unfortunately.
