SSD is a meme

wait for 1.5tb optane 900p

Can't convince, I have only a single 950 Pro in my laptop and love it.
2 960s could only be even better

Too bad you can't DBAN it when the fbi comes looking for that loli

Buy a car instead

get them faggot, i have a 960 pro 1tb and its a beast, stop being a bichboi

does it have use besides copying and writing porn really fast?

How would a 960 do VS a normal SSD?

My current SSD (500mb read) shits the bed when I speed up video segment when I'm rendering.

I have a 1tb 960 and it's plenty fast on its own. It's very fast but there are almost no noticeable difference between it and 2 SATA Intel 540s in RAID 0.

thats just for servers

NVME has somewhere in the 2500MB/s read/write when it comes to being fully utilized. I.e. video editing and rendering. I have a 500GB 960 EVO specifically for scratch space on my main machine.

But if you're talking regular use such as a boot drive or for games, then no. Not much difference between it and a SATA based drive.

3500

sorry yea. I know it's like almost 8 times faster than even the fastest SATA based SSD's when it comes to professional work loads. But people who don't do any sort of work buy NVME stuff and then bitch" hurrr it's the same speed as SATA for 2x the cost, NVME is a meme!"

Main reason I want an NVMe is to get rid of the SATA data and power cables. Would make my guts a lot neater.

You can always get an m.2 format SSD but based on SATA speeds if you're not going to take full advantage of NVME. SATA stuff is much cheaper usually. Pic related.

1. You'll need to buy some heatsinks unless your motherboard has m.2 heatsinks as stock. This because otherwise the 960(Pro/Evo) throttles horribly if you don't, you'll literally get worse sustained performance at stock than a SATA3 850Pro.
Other than that, they're pretty good.

-t 960Pro 512GB.
01:00.0 Non-Volatile memory controller [0108]: Samsung Electronics Co Ltd NVMe SSD Controller SM961/PM961 [144d:a804]

That was the old 950Pro. I have had both and the newer one runs cooler and has a heatsink from factory.

only the 950 had that issue. Both the 960 EVO/Pro don't suffer from this problem as well as the 960 having a small copper sink from the factory.

>That was the old 950Pro. I have had both and the newer one runs cooler
I have a 960Pro, I can attest to the thermal throttling mate.
>and has a heatsink from factory.
Oh you're just a shitposting troll...

Put your OS on it

>960 having a small copper sink from the factory.
It doesn't.

>convince me not to

Why do people post shit like this?

Is the 960 pro a meme because of lol thermals?

It's only sustained transfers that suffer, burst is fast.
You'll note that most reviews for any post 950Pro SSD is using a new version of crystaldiskmark which has a 60second delay between each test now, to let the drives cool back down in between runs, where it never used to do this.

It's pretty easy to fix though, it's like $3 of parts on eBay/aliexpress and it never thermal throttles again.
Samsung is already at the Z-height limit for m.2 drives, they can't affix a heatsink to it and maintain laptop compatibility.
Most good laptops have thermal pads for m.2 drives too now, since the issues isn't at all limited to Samsung (they're just the only NVME drives anyone in their right mind would buy)

the reviews i saw on youtube about the 960 pro didnt say anything about having to do shit like this

Paid reviewers aren't typically looking out for your best interests.
Just be thankful they're not in full shill mode recommending something like a WD Black...

It's your money, I don't give a shit what you do. Waste of a thread.

>tfw two 960 pro's in RAID 0

This is what you get, stock. Sounds good enough for me, but again, I'm not running surveillance 24/7 because I have stockpiles of weapons, drugs and cp

Regardless of your purchase, you'll still be left miserable by the end of the day as you realize that you're only buying things to hopeless try and fail to distract yourself from the emptiness of your life. You have areas in your life that are in need of your attention and instead of focusing on that, you will search for irrelevant things to improve that ultimately won't make a single difference in your life in a desperate pursuit of a sense of achievement in a surrogate situation. It won't stop there, you'll soon notice that the hollow sensation is still there and you will find something else to obsess over and over again in and endless pointless cycle.

Did I do good?

I never said it was a bad product, just that to get the full potential out of it, it needs a $3 heatsink and that if OP is considering buying one, he should also consider buying a $3 heatsink kit to go with it.
You can untwist those knickers now.

n-no......

Don;t do it unless you plan on putting them in RAID0, then do it. DO IT.

...

>gets hotter than normal SSD
>for every day use there is negligible boost in performance

Unless it's the same price as a sata one or cheaper, or only slightly more expensive, it's not really worth it.

i won't because it's a great product

>samsung 960 pro 2tb
They're 1200 dollars you fucking moron.

jelly

get a job, robert

Well, no, I just need more space for all these fucking 100gb video games.

Put your OS on it

You run your OS from a good 128gb SSD and store everything else on WD Black hard disks.

There is a major difference. If you don't believe that it's because you've never owned a SSD.

The only reason to buy a 2TB ssd is to play video games. Leave.

Ehh, depends. I have mine under my GPU because I'd loose too many SATA ports with the top slot. It gets a bit over 70 with an intensive game running, which I think is when it starts to throttle.

>SSD was a meme
FTFY

Only 2 step up sempai

but how fast will this make my video games go??

Why use 960 pro when intel optane exists?

I cheaped out and got myself a 2tb mx300. Someone redpill me on how shitty a decision that was
