PChads, we won again

wrong, its $1500-2000 depending on speed

In my experience, working at a shitty used-parts warehouse where the operations manager insists on wiping all drives instead of using secure erase on SSDs. I can say that all these newer NVMe SSDs are insanely fast compared to SATA SSDs.
Wipes that used to take 45 minutes get done in 5 minutes. Insane write-speed. I imagine the read-speed is just as big an improvement.

Sounds pretty damn good, whats the price on a good one at 1tb?

the universe is constantly expanding

I have no idea where I could find that info, sorry wish I could help

how much does the 8TB ps5/sex cost?

They are practically giving away the 2 TB version of this.

around 100-300 dollars

PChads will always win

as someone who works in the semiconductor industry I'd like to thank you for sustaining my job security

far better to do 8TB with a PCIe card and multiple drives in RAID, you'll get way faster bandwidth and it's cheaper

what's the best/cheapest 1TB SSD for me to buy and replace my current drive? my shit is dying I think

Imagine not having $3k to drop on your rig at a moments notice for a sick upgrade. You faggots arent poor/have a shitty job do you??

>1TB SSDs still cost ~$100
When are they going to get as cheap as hard drives

I just bought the 1TB version

Best and cheapest are two different metrics. Pick one.

when are hard drives going to be cheaper? I bought an 8TB 3 years ago for $130 and it's still the same price today

Why would an M.2 drive need a PCI slot?

My boomer brain still sees these as the cutting edge hot shit. To think they're considered weak now confuses me greatly. Im not ready to be tech illiterate

SSDs now cost what HDDs did in ~2005, which was pretty dang cheap at the time compared to years prior.

how about the best cost-benefit

brainlet? M2 goes in M2 slot, not PCI

nvme drives use the PCI bus for data transfer
the formfactor is M.2, but it robs a PCI slot for bandwidth

HDDs are just good enough if you just want to bulk store stuff, and they don't have a write cap. Unless SSDs suddenly get dirt cheap, I don't see them getting replaced anytime soon. Speed is very much secondary outside of gaming or some niche activities, and you can always just get a smaller SSD with essential software and the OS anyway

M.2 slots use a PCI lane brainlet.

the silicon power 1tb goes for around 120, which is honestly a steal considering how much better they are from your standard fare intel 660p which slows down dramatically after being filled up halfway.

HDDs are already more expensive when you factor in having to have redundant drives to not lose all your shit, and the cost of replacement.

>caring about capacity
>probably still uses 5GB reads
>still slower than what consoles use

>We need this super expensive component that a console uses for it's gimmicky feature that poorly simulates ray tracing even though PC can already do ray tracing naturally
This is your mind on platform wars

Crucial MX500 or Samsung 860 EVO

They already got replaced pretty much everywhere but on extreme low-end PC builds. Datacenters switched to SSD a decade ago. I think it's mainly the turd world keeping the industry afloat at this point.

arent ssds more prone to fail though?

M.2 is just the form factor but it uses PCI bandwidth. You can also buy PCIe cards with a ton of M.2 slots and put them in RAID to get retarded fast speeds

Bruh SSDs are storage, not graphics processing.

>8TB WD for $130
>1TB SSD for $120
not really

not really, the amount of write/rewrites before failures start to occur is in the millions
unless you're running your own database, the drive will last you many years

>still slower than what consoles use
Their 2019 1TB model is a Phison E16 which is the same thing as Sony's using.

there are more uses for nvme and ssd than gayming user. please dont tell me you only use a pc to play with childrens toys.

No. A good SSD (e.g. Samsung) is extremely durable. It's why datacenters had a ravenous appetite for SSDs and kept the price high for so many years.

Mechanical hard drives have spinning plates and little arms inside that race back and forth. The chances of mechanical failure are through the roof.
SSDs are less prone to random unpredictable failure but if you get a cheap Chinese one or if you get the wrong memory type for your use case then it can burn out prematurely.

Thinking of buying a gen3 nvme 2To and gets another one in raid0 later, that should be plenty enough and cheaper

*click click click*
I hope you bought three of those HDDs and had them in RAID 5. Remember to figure in the cost of replacement, too.

>when prebuilt faggots try to pretend they know what they're talking about
embarrassing

ssd = no moving components
hdd = constantly spinning disk

No, the problem with HDD's is they are mechanical which leads to their failure. SSD's will never fail that way only have a limited amount of write's and we're past that issue.

A good nvme with dram on a pcie 4.0 mobo is already enough to get you through this gen desu

the only reason anyone still uses mechanical drives is for pricepoint. they're dirt cheap for mass storage

Well, SSD controllers do fail. Google's review of their datacenter storage years back found a huge difference in failure rate between Samsung/Intel and everyone else's SSDs. It's not just maximum writes. It's why I only use Samsung despite the ~$50 extra.

PCI is a meme. You will literally never use that speed. Only retards who have fallen for marketing are shilling that shit.

It's one of those things where it sounds like a great idea until it fails and you lose all your shit.

I guess it depends on what you're using it for

They're about the same price now. No reason to get SATA anymore.

PCI is a depreciated standard from 1992. The only things that still use it are wifi cards.
Graphics cards and SSDs use PCI-e.

Sure if you're transferring ridiculously large files then you could use it. None of you are doing that though.
