  I used to have multiple hard drives for different types of files. When SSDs were cheap enough, I bought a bigger HDD to consolidate, and bought multiple 2.5" SSDs for quality of life improvements. I've got 2 NVMe drives, but they're both 512gb. I am excited for when this thing becomes something like 200-300 dollars, and I can just run 2 of these tiny things in my PC, and 1 big old fat drive for a photo dump.

    I also ordered a motherboard during prime sales from the US and it was delivered this morning 14 Oct to 7 Nov). The box was shipped in a flimsy plastic sleeve that was half torn open, exposing the box inside. The box itself has damage (dents, tears). I’m seriously reconsidering buy anything from the Amazon US unless it can withstand being thrown around.

      Plus Amazon UK. I have few orders from them arrived with damaged boxes but if I want to return I have to pay the extra postage

        Message support, for items with value less than $50 that arrived in damaged boxes, they generally just give you a refund without requiring to send it back

          I ordered 5 Arctic p12 PWN fans from an amazon UK deal for $50.95 for 5 but it was missing one. They just said keep it all and have a full refund on the whole order.

          I would have been happy with the refund on one of or to resend me the missing one.

        I spoke with Amazon support via chat and they organised free return to Amazon US if it was sent via Parcelpoint instead of Australia Post. Item was worth about $110.

      I've been very disappointed with items that I've ordered from amazon US in the past 12mths. They have taken well over 2 weeks to arrive and have all come in a plastic satchel instead of the the well padded boxes when orders were placed through Amazon.com.

      Hopefully my motherboard comes in a box instead of a satchel like crucial ram, which had damaged boxes.

    Word.
    My whole life I've had to deal with a mess of IDE and SATA cables. I cannot wait for the day that I will have 0 of those cables!

    Only downside is you can only have as many as your motherboard has slots. Which in my case is only two… I need Moar.

    i just removed my last HDD. I stuck it in a NAS so dont really need bulk storage in my main pc. I have a 2TB pci3 SSD at the moment but wanna replace it with a gen4 and a 4tb M2 drive of some description for extra game storage :)

  FYI real world performance is genuinely unnoticeable compared to a gen 3 NVMe.

  When is hard drive going to catch up with the ram speed?

  • 

    xoom on 07/11/2020 - 19:24

    -1

    The answer to that is likely never. Its way too expensive to make hard drive size memory chips with speeds of current fastest ram.

    Not to mention if you ever notice that every motherboard the ram is so close to the cpu. There's a reason for that. Speed. Any ssd even nvme ssd is nowhere near to the cpu that the ram is. So to match ram speeds you would have to have nvme ssd faster than ram speeds to overcome the distance. Or board makers need to put nvme nearer the cpu.

      Do you know how fast electricity moves? That kinda distance isn't gonna change anything lmao

      • 

        xoom on 07/11/2020 - 21:47

        So there's no point in making cpu die smaller then? Electricity is fast enough yeah?

        An inch of trace in a pcb may not seem much to you but in the scheme of billions upon billions of computations any delay because of distance adds up.

        If what you say about electricity being fast enough why is it that in every motherboard the ram is extremely close to the cpu?

        And every videocard is more than likely to be placed nearer the cpu also.

  i thought 1tb was $250 or lower which is cheaper than $267.5/tb for 2tb

  drinkin-beer on 07/11/2020 - 19:24

  Hmm… This or 1tb 980 pro… hard decision…

  If you are ebay plus member this can be had for $472 ATM with the current 20% off code, from futu ebay. Only 3 left at this price
