Picked up a new pcie 4 x4 nvme to replace my gen 3 boot disk.

I always end up wondering if it was worth the money. I dont keep up on disk benchmarks and am curious how good this is?

Win 11 if that matters. And I am guessing in the m.2 running off the chipset.

I can pretty much answer that, not worth it at all unless you do lots of large file transfers. Until they start putting direct storage in games there will be little to no difference in load times.
 
Thank you, I am always appreciative of a response, however, I was asking about the benchmark numbers not thoughts on the underlying technology, of which, I was already aware.

Well you did say you are always wondering if it was worth the money. Which model is this? Need at least that info to answer the other question.
 
I might need to swap the m.2 slots my drives are in - the older 1tb Sabrent Rocket I picked up last year is out benching it.

Or maybe it just has a better controller - been reading about that.

He's right though.
Atm what matters more for most people is better 4K transfer performance.
This is why I'm not adopting a PCIE 4.0 drive, in most cases I have seen, they ironically have worse 4K performance.

Hopefully by the time PCIE 5.0 becomes the norm lessons will have been learnt.


My Sabrent Rocket PCIE-3.0 has
4K Q32T1 957.3, 846.0
4K Q1T1 67.00, 389.7
tested on a much older Skylake system so it will no doubt perform better on something newer.
