nvme raid absolutely not worth it. plenty of videos and articles out there on it. okay video on it here;

best bang for buck nvme drive is fairly polarizing. :) I recommend checking out the user benchmarks on the link below and sorting by 4k Reads and scrolling down until you find a price you like and a brand you trust. Right now I really like the slickdeal on the XPG SX8200 Pro, as it truly trades blows with the Samsung 970 for a fraction of the price. Some will say the drive in this thread, although it is now in-store only.

if you doing for speed then no, not worth it, but if you are doing it for capacity or redundancy, worth it.

Price drop on Corsair version if anyones interested. 5 year warranty/1700TBW. $134 USD, 960GB because its factory over-provisioned. Comes with 12.2 firmware.

Ordered this one too and I don't even have a mb with nvme yet.
So now I'll have both the inland and the corsair drive.
I hate this thread. :|

If you're willing to try it, you can do the nvme inject into your existing bios and run a pcie x4 expansion card with nvme. I'm running this on my x79 which doesn't have nvme natively and it works great! I get full speed out of the nvme drive.

Cool idea, thanks!
 
Did people have any issues with temps on these drives? I was curious if I should add a heatsink. Just bought one at MC for $115
 
For those of you who don't want to schlep over to Micro Center or who don't have one near you, or dont want to order from Micro Center's web store, Amazon has the Silicon Power 34A80s at $129.99 now.

Just so you know, that's a different model. (Professional PCIe Gen 3 x 2 vs. Premium PCIe Gen 3 x 4.) This thread is about the Premium, but you bought the lower teared professional.
Edit: Fixed links (they were reversed)

Purchased two, one for a customer and one for myself. They keep going in and out of stock, so if you don't see any on the sales floor, ask. I got the last one the first time I went, and they had them in the back the next time.
 
I just realized that these new TLC drives have about 10x the write endurance of my old Samsung 850 Pro MLC drives.

Maybe it isn't a crazy idea to use them as cache drives in my ZFS pool after all...

How is the extended write performance after they exhaust the MLC drive cache?

They already do, 1.9TB for like $220 or something. Same E12 controller

Where? Even the Corsair, Sabrent, MyDigital, etc are north of $300. I was going to go for the HP EX950 2TB at $320 per the Tweaktown review. It stomps all over these drives in daily use.

That is already visible on page 1. PCIe 3x4, the "Premium" are x4, the Professional x2.

I believe they were asking for a pic of *your* packaging; we are trying to figure out how you got it for that price, since those prices are set company wide. Mistake in price tags? Maybe this is something others can get? Any which way, that was good luck for you, haha...

How would this compare to the Inland Premium? Slightly slower, but more durable due to it being MLC based? It drops in and out of being sold out.

You don't really have to worry about the endurance on good latest gen TLC drives.


My old Samsung 850 Pro 512GB MLC drives had an estimated write endurance of 150TB. I use them in cache duty on a heavily loaded NAS server, so a pretty harsh life from a write perspective. They have racked up ~45T writes in just over 3 years. At this rate they'll last 10-11 years before hitting that many writes. They usually last much much longer though.

The latest gen of TB TLC drives are rated at 1200TB writes. 8 times more writes than my old MLC drives.

In even an enthusiast desktop use it will likely have enough writes for 100+ years of use :p
 
Here are a few more benchmarks running on a Threadripper 2950x, the Asrock Taichi x399 and 32G or RAM.

I absolutely think both Inland Premium modules are great options performance/money/longevity wise.

Know that the Inland Premium 1TB is a double sided NVME M.2 module, keep that in mind when buying your heat sink. You want something that can assist cooling both sides. I like using the Yateng heat sink for double sided modules.

Since I am already using all motherboard M.2 slots I have mounted the NVME drives on the Supermicro AOC-SLG3-2M2 add-on card. The Taichi x399 supports bifurcation, so using this card wasn't a problem at all. The card sits in my second PCIe slot, in the bios I had to set the mode from x8 to x4x4. The drives can be configured JBOD with AMD's RAIDXpert2 utility.

Sorry didn't read that part, I got my Inland Premium 1TB for $119.99 in Cambridge, MA

I don't think there are price tag mistakes involved

Wow. Do these really get that hot? I run my Samsung 970 Evo naked without any cooling and have not noticed any problems.

I think a lot of guys have poor airflow or they are making them hotter when these heat sinks ..

Also, a lot of the performance numbers I'm seeing are absolutely NOT the max performance of these drives.

I see better numbers and lower temps but then again I avoid budget friendly AMD Ryzen ....

I don't know what's going on.

Get some nice airflow ... avoid heat sinks and use Intel ... you're going to be in a lot better position.
 
I am not seeing high temps on mine.

Not sure if budget friendly drives and Intel go hanh in hand :ROFLMAO:
 
Watching some Youtube reviews on these heatsinks, it seems to me they're doing it wrong (the design in general). Apparently NAND needs to be warm to function. You make it cold it'll actually slow down. These heatsinks need to go ON THE CONTROLLER chip of the NVME drive, not the memory chips.
