mister taxi what’s the latest on SSDs? samsung still top? is m2 still legit?
Latest is PCIe 4.0 which is currently only available on AMD x570 platform and i think probably threadripper. Of course you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between a PCIe 3 nvme drive and a PCIe 4 nvme drive unless you had a specific I/O bottleneck before.
Samsung is always the #1 name but I never buy them because they’re overpriced. For the average user, basically any SSD that has a DRAM cache is good enough for a primary boot drive and for storage you can cheap out even further and you probably won’t notice a difference (except for initial defect rates I guess)
