[SOLVED] Which 4th gen PCIe SSD drive is better and more reliable etc

[spikeysonic]

Which 4th gen PCIe SSD drive is better and more reliable etc (Note may go for a 1TB version of one of these to lower the system cost.

They seem similar in price and 2 seen to have the same specs. Also whihc brand has a better rep for this?

This is to go in a 3rd gen Threadripper 3960x system, Trying to decide between the RSroc creator, or Taichi, the Gigabyte Designware or MSI Creator TRX40mother boards

None, because they are all too new to have any history.

^5 +1 what USAFRet says.

Currently I have 9 of the new PCIe 4.0 x 4, M.2 4.0 x 4, NVMe, solid state drives listed in the public service ssd database I maintain:

ADATA, XPG Gammix S50
Corsair, MP600
Galax, HOF Pro
Gigabyte, Aorus
Goodram, IRDM Ultimate X
Patriot, Viper VP4100
Sabrent, Rocket
Seagate, Firecuda 520
Team Force, Cardea Zero Z440

You mentioned that specifications were similar. In reality they are almost identical. All 9 of the ssd's use the same Phison PS5016-E16 controller; the same Toshiba 3D TLC flash memory; and a DDR4 memory cache that varies in size depending on the ssd capacity. Technical reviews that have been published also suggest specifications, performance, endurance, and warranties are identical.

I don't think we will see more PCIe 4.0 x 4 ssd's being released. Originally the PCIe standard was supposed to be upgraded every two years. Unfortunately the upgrade from PCIe 3.0 to PCIe 4.0 took a lot more than 2 years! The international organization responsible to developing PCIe standards is trying to catch up. This year PCIe 4.0 was finally released. PCIe 5.0 will be released next year and PCIe 6.0 will be released in 2021.

I have already read about a few new PCIe 5.0 products but they were all for the business enterprise side of the market.

  Thanks, speed looked similar just

This stuff

• DRAM Cache Memory 2gb
• Full Body Copper Housing
• LDPC ECC
• Over-Provision
• S.M.A.R.T Support
• TRIM Support
• Wear Leveling

and the iflops.... any little more reliabiity and longevity?

Or as you said same same and just marketing talk then?

 

[USAFRet]

Max. Endurance Rating 1800TBW

That number is so far beyond regular consumer use....they might as well have stated 1 Bazillion TBW.

Among the drives you posted...I'd put money on no one being able to tell the difference in a properly constructed blind test.
No one.

Further, I'd put money on no one being able to tell the difference between one of those 4.0 drives, and a current PCIe 3.0 NVMe drive.
