  Has been $167 before… Can't justify.

    I suppose you mean 1TB?

      From what I'm hearing SSDs are on their way up again due to some component manufacturer going out of business…

  As it comes with Heatsink, will it fit into an NVMe SSD Enclosure?

  • 

    Hybroid on 09/12/2023 - 17:07

    Depends on the enclosure… Most likely not though so you'll need to remove the heatsink.

      Thanks. Can the Heatsink be easily removed?

      • 

        Hybroid on 09/12/2023 - 17:13

        Yes, but this isn't some crazy price to be excited about. Depending on your speed needs, you can get a 2TB for much much cheaper. Most people won't tell the difference between 3000 MB/s and 7000 MB/s in real world use.

          @Hybroid: Will be using it to store media for local streaming. What is the minimum speed for local streaming? Thanks in advance.

            @ozbshops: Depends on the media content but 4K is about 3 MB/s. Yes, just 3. Not 30, not 300, not 3000.

            20 GB over 2 hours is approx 3 MB/s give or take.

            The max bitrate for a UHD BluRay is 144 Mbit/s which is 18 MB/s.

            You can literally do it over a standard 80MB/s HDD (lots of NAS do), let alone a 500 MB/s SATA drive or a 7000 MB/s NVMe…

            @ozbshops: Local media streaming? a regular SSD can more than handle that, so even 3000MB/s speeds will be more than fast enough.

            What is the minimum speed for local streaming?

            Do you mean local as in over your home network? If so you'd be limited by the speed of your LAN connection, so the minimum should be whatever that is. It it's a gigabit network, that's 125MB/s.

              @eug: Yes, home network. Cheers.

          Most people won't tell the difference between 3000 MB/s and 7000 MB/s in real world use.

          IIRC on 99% of benchmarks there is no difference. Even for extensive game loading it was like, less than a second? The middle-man hardware and entire structure of windows/app loading simply isn't designed for it yet.

          @Hybroid: I can tell the difference. My maps load on my game more than twice as quick. Which means I'm first guy in for the supply truck.

    I use an older 970 Evo 1TB in my NVMe enclosure, and when I am doing writing at only 500 MB/s constantly, it reaches 86 C and throttles. Now I only use metal enclosures with built in heatsinks and not those cheap plastic enclosures.

    Trying to use a 980 Pro without a heatsink would result in similar temperatures, that's my assumption.

  990pro no heatsink was 225 from amazon last week. Hard to justify this

    Yeah. I picked up US stock from Amazon Au for just 217 less than a week ago

  I just put a PNY 2TB CS3140 in a new system and Passmark tells me it is faster than a 980 Pro and only beaten by a 990 Pro and WD Black.

  Can be found @ MSY for $179 : https://www.mwave.com.au/product/pny-xlr8-cs3140-2tb-pcie-40…

  No heatsink, but the motherboard had one so I didn't need it.

    Mwave sells it with no retail packaging it seems based on the description. Will they come in bubble wrap instead?

• 

  petebern on 10/12/2023 - 20:51

  I got mine from JW Computers for $148 during BF sales. It came in the same packaging as per photos on MWave. It was 'inserted' between 2 thick pieces of foam stuck together with tape. More than enough to protect the product. I presume MWave would do the same.
