Question Any PCI-e 3.0 x 4 NVMe SSD noticeably faster than WD SN750 1 TB?

[rmiller1959]

I have a mini-PC with a WD SN750 1 TB NVMe SSD as my boot/apps drive. With all the sales on PCI-e 3.0x4 NVMe SSDs, I'm wondering if there are any particular models that would provide noticeable speed improvements over my current SSD? The marketing hype makes it seem like it's possible, but I don't buy it. I'd love the community's thoughts on this!

Are there faster SSDs? Sure, in benchmarks. Will they matter? Not really.

No.

It runs just as fast as other top tier PCIe 3.0 drives.

I don't think you can get any faster than a WD PCIE3.0 flagship model.

One scenario is possible - if you move very large data frequently, and exhaust the SLC cache frequently, MLC NAND drives like Samsung 970 PRO can be faster at some point.

Limiting factor is PCIe v3.0 so much faster is not possible.

I have a sn750.

I see r/w speed of 3000+/2400+.

What do you see?
