    Nothing special IMO - that 2TB price is way too steep for PCIe 3.0

    • FireRunner on 13/11/2022 - 13:35

      It’s ok considering it’s a top end Gen 3 but nothing special. 1TB solid price

      • Charity on 13/11/2022 - 18:53

        Top end is the Pro variant. Still very good though.

    • Agret on 13/11/2022 - 15:45

      I would rather have a high end PCIe 3.0 SSD than a low end PCIe 4.0 SSD, better quality / reliability.

  • msrlble on 13/11/2022 - 13:29

    the 1TB is on my 'to buy' list for some upgrades I'm planning, this looks like it's the lowest it's been ever - should I keep waiting for BFCM or buy now?

    • LuslecGrace on 13/11/2022 - 14:32

      im also thinking of this

    Given the delivery costs for this deal, interested buyers may also want to consider the faster but slightly pricier Kingston KC3000 (1TB $149, 2TB $299 delivered), or cheaper but almost as fast Kingston NV2 (1TB $99, 2TB $199 delivered): https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/736029

    • tekisei on 13/11/2022 - 13:46

      Also need to keep in mind endurance and warranty:

      For 1TB
      Kingston KC3000 - 5 years, 800 TBW
      Samsung 970 EVO Plus - 5 years, 600 TBW
      Kingston NV2 - 3 years, 320 TBW

      • MHLoppy on 13/11/2022 - 14:06
        +2

        Subjectively, I don't think the TBW ratings matter that much for most users here, although they may be more relevant for anyone abusing the drives with heavy writing. I have a 1TB SSD as the OS drive in my main system which has been used almost every day for 5 years and it has only 70TB of lifetime writes. If the 320 figure is accurate (and it's probably conservative — perhaps extremely so, such as a 22 TBW drive surviving flawlessly to 600 TBW) then there's almost no chance that standard usage will exhaust the drive.

        A couple extra years of warranty is nice but a 25-30% premium for it ($99 delivered -> $125~$130 delivered) is pretty steep.

        KC3000 is a pcie gen4 thing, you should add 980 pro with dram in your list… :)

  • cook99 on 13/11/2022 - 13:34

    Can anyone advise if the 2tb is a good match for Lenovo Legion 7 or advise better option?

    I would have been excited about this deal about a year ago

    now I have more than enough storage for my needs

    also, yes while it's top of the crop as far as PCIe 3 go, I kinda think why would you ever choose this over, say, KC3000 or KC2500 if you really don't mind gen 3

    • netsurfer on 13/11/2022 - 14:27

      Can always come up with excuses. The current 970 Evo Plus has a new controller to beef up the SLC cache, which helps hide its inferior sustained write after SLC cache runs out.

      But yeah, at this price, it's quite tempting. Postage + surcharge makes it less attractive though.

    Are there real word reasons I should go for PCIe 4 over gen 3 for a high end gaming pc? Particularly high end simulators and so one

    • raybies on 13/11/2022 - 15:20

      You can get a 0-10% improvement in load speeds, irconically sims like MS flight benefit the most or any large open world maps…https://www.techspot.com/review/2116-storage-speed-game-loading/
      I had to go with 970 EVO SATA due to lack of more NVME slots.

    • netsurfer on 13/11/2022 - 15:47

      If you looked at the review raybies posted, then the answer is no. Thing is, how objective is that review today? First of all, in a lot of tests, based on that review, high end PCIe gen 3 SSDs top the benchmark (i.e. Seagate 520). Secondly, the PCIe gen 4 SSDs chosen in the review are Phison E16 based. So, we are not seeing high end PCIe gen 4 SSDs in that review.

      Anyway, in reality, right at this moment, no. Reasons are:

      • There are now low end PCIe gen 4 SSDs. Just an FYI, Phison E16 are mid range PCIe gen 4 SSDs. However, we now see low end PCIe gen 4 SSDs (i.e. NV2) priced lower than top end PCIe gen 3 SSDs.
      • Even if you believe DirectStorage will make a difference, PCIe gen 3 SSDs will benefit from DirectStorage too. Also, to be honest, even for 2-3 seconds loading time difference, it is not important compared to fps. Your GPU will matter more.

      However, if your device supports PCIe gen 4 and your budget permits it, for your primary PCIe slot, might as well get a quality PCIe gen 4 SSD. Any other slots (unless it is wired to the CPU via PCIe bifurcation), you probably don't need to get high end PCIe gen 4 SSDs for those.

    • Tleaves on 13/11/2022 - 17:00

      Not muct really, yet. Especially when most nvme drops its speed after certain point..high end products at least tend to sustain ard 1500~2000mb/s, but not much related with pcie version.

  • teddiebear on 13/11/2022 - 20:39

    I scored a wd black sn850 1tb gen4×4 for $109 delivered from SE the other day. Turned out to be a pricing error but they honoured it anyway. But even though these ssd's are gen3, i think the 2tb is a decent price.
