I have recently found my Samsung drives to be under-performing. Of course, Magician software says they are working at about 60% - 70% of advertised max speeds, but other software I've used to test (including AS SSD Benchmark), shows the drives are not where I would expect them to be performance wise. 4K random speeds down as low as 25MB/s
I have no AMD, but am not against going AMD, it's just that where I live AMD is 3 - 4 times the price of Intel. I mention this because AMD is currently the only place a PCIe 4.0 SSD can be used optimally. I note that the Corsair MP600 is backwards compatible, as I expect all PCIe 4.0 SSDs will be.
I've been paying a premium price for Samsung drives and none of them are anywhere near TBW limits, or greater than 40% full. The Systems are not over heating, so I don't think the drives are throttling.
So I'm considering jumping ship. Support from Samsung has been pretty poor which is pushing me towards other brands. I have 20 Samsung SSDs ranging from 960 EVO 250gb to 970 Pro 1TB.
So; the question; how do PCIe4.0 drives perform on PCIe3.0 systems? Can I expect as good or better than Samsungs results. (My 970 Pro 1TB boot drive which is on CPU maxes out at about 1800 MB/s, where as the other two are 2200MB/s - 2300 MB/s - One on CPU, one on chip set).
I saw the Corsair on a review site, but I'm not fixed on Corsair.
I figure the PCIe4.0 drive will also better position me for when Intel eventually supports PCIe4.0 or AMD drops their prices (Won't hold me breath for either of those).
I see a lot of posts here about poor performance. I wonder if perhaps there is no solution , or if perhaps might be other factors, such as motherboard (though I have 7 different motherboards and results are the same across all).
I welcome recommendations and advice.
