    I bought 4 TB Gen4 KC3000 instead of buying 2 TB Gen5 drive. They were same price. So happy so far. Thank you for the review. 💛
  • @HardwareAccent
    Amazing video yet again. I'm so glad somebody points out that sequential reading is, for many people, the least important spec, and the crucial one is often ignored. Thank you.
  • @nochancecw
    Really good video. Helpful in seeing gaming and real world use. Its nice these new gen 5 are driving down gen 4 cost.
  • @johnnywoolen1453
    Thanks for the review. I appreciate how comprehensive your reviews are. Always a good watch!
  • Enjoy the reviews on your channel. I Like the benchmarks and practical applications put the products in a right light.
  • @DR19X
    Amazing review as always. thank you
  • Thank you so much for posting this excellent review. I am in agreement with the points you make. I think your reviews are going to get a lot more views in the weeks to come and you will have a strong influence on potential buyers in the USA. A lot of young people over here probably want to spend the Thanksgiving -- Christmas -- New Year's period building their own systems. Thanksgiving (in the USA) is next week. Since you do excellent testing I think a lot of folks will want to comb through your content and decide on specific purchases. This time of the year can offer so many opportunities for you.

    You know just got to hop in and say thanks for the SSD reviews. Found your channel just the other day and been enjoying the reviews and the viewpoint brought. And as an aside…. The shoulder pad shirt does look great people just be hatin

    Tremendo video como siempre, muy detallado y queda clarisimo en que esta hoy en dia la industria del almacenamiento M.2 Saludos desde Chile!!

    Thanks for your reviews, as always

    Next year the Silicon Motion controller will offer superior speed manufactured at 6nm which will also offer a cooler temp. I use a third-party m.2 cooler which has a mini fan at low noise. I have an extra one of these coolers if you would like me to send this to you at your business address. Overall this was a very good review. I also reside in the Netherlands. My Corsair MP700 pro should be received at my address tomorrow afternoon.

    As long as the M.2 slots on intel motherboards keep stealing lanes from the GPU because the CPU doesn’t have enough PCIE 5.0 lanes… well then it’s not useful.
  • I currently using some Gen 4 NVME, sone Gen 3 NVME and SATA ssd storage for my video editing and gaming needs and more is need for some time yet.

    I bought an MP700 Pro NH (no heatsink model, requiring use of motherboard or third-party heatsink) and a Samsung 990 Pro for my new machine running on a X670 ProArt motherboard. Both drives run and benchmark very comparably with similar thermals and performance on all tests. Both very quick! However I wish I'd been also able to buy the Micron M3500 with the Phison E25 (as found in their T500 Crucial SSD) because its four-channel PCIe controller apparently does very well for thermals and overall performance. I am disappointed with how hot both the Samsung 990 Pro and Corsair MP700 Pro run under normal use (not stressed mid-game), worsened in my setup due to the case (a Fractal Torrent) producing a heatwell effect - its bottom intake airflow is entirely blocked by the massive GPU, which acts as a very effective airflow barrier, just below the first M.2 slot. My board is the X670 ProArt. The motherboard should have the M.2 slots further away from the GPU top slot in my opinion, but this now seems a common design on loads of boards this generation. I didn't want any active cooling on M.2 fans, so ended up swapping my boot and storage SSDs over, then installing an Xclio heatsink I received free with the M.2 purchase. Fortunately that cools the top slot well enough to keep temps reasonable. It's mad that we're having to consider solid state storage device thermals in non-enterprise systems, hopefully a smaller die process on future products improves things.
