WD SN850x Revisited in 2024 - Still a good pick or go for Gen 5 NVMe?

Have been waiting g for this review. Thank you my friend.

have a wd black 1tb 850x for the os drive and a 1tb cardea z440 for the secondary. I have had them for over a year now but good to see that all my time reviewing parts online back then wasn't completely wrong lol

Great review! Hope to see the Crucial T500 in your mix at some point. Curious to see how it compares with the other Gen 4 drives.

I've used the WD Black drives a few times but lately I've moved to the Crucial T500 NVMe drives for my creator PCs. Great video, thanks Lauri.

Still using KC3000 4 TB and 2 TB version of it and happy so far.

can you do the same sort of review for some of the AliExpress vendors? I recently bought the Fanxiang 2tb and as far am I'm aware, seems very good in the PS5 and decent speed

At the same price for 2TB, would you recommend as a laptop main drive this sn850x or the Samsung 990 EVO? I know the Samsung doesn't have DRAM but it is well positioned on your charts.

could you plz review crucial t500 with updated firmware?

do you need intel arc control on igpu uhd770 paired with nvidia graphics card?

Any chance to review the Fikwot FN970?

why there is no MSI spatium M480 pro???

Sn850x is the best gen4 gaming NVMe but the firecuda 530 is good too if the price is better

i love my crucial T705 ITS BEAST!!!

Yes I have PC Mark 10 but I don't see any drive test results after running the benchmark.. where are they?

The very high-end speedy NVM-e 4.0 4x are very limited. Most of these drives performance as average.. Which isnt great. I dont hope this will happen every new pci-e generation drive. I really miss those SATA ssd days, where almost every sata drive performance like the max what sata 600 could do.. So there was actually more choice to pick from. PCi-e 3.0 x4 wasnt a great generation too. Nowdays harder or hard to find when you still have a motherboard with pci-e 3.0 x4 lanes on that board.

Just bought this from Amazon, free shipping to Malaysia. Still cheaper option compare to adata 980 legend, crucial t500

If you really want to test disks you should be using something a lot more granular like fio. It would also be nice to see an enterprise drive for comparison, none of the workstations I've built for really data intensive work have used M.2 for anything but OS drive, at the least we'd use Intel D7-P5510 drives, there is no comparison for latency and iops and TBW under sustained workloads. Not to discount M.2 for the typical creator system, I own WD, Seagate and Solidigm M.2's that I picked up at various times when they were on sale and for my PC needs they have been fine.

I got the kingston 1TB reengage

After your Reyiew some Weeks ago i buy a Sabrent Rocket 1 and 4 TB. And also 64 GB Sabrent RAM because of maybe a Good/better compatibility when i built a new system at my new minisforum UM790 Pro. Now after this Review i get the Feeling that i made a complete wrong decision.

SShhhh! Don't share this video too far and wide or my discount source in the US(walmart) will have supplies drying up. This is by far the best performing nvme I can get off the store shelf in my area for under $100 per TB.
