Question 1

Understanding that it isn't practical, if I were to put 2 of these in raid 0 on a pcie gen 4 motherboard, could i expect reads of up to 14000Mb/s? 🤔

Accepted Answer

For an NVMe M.2 raid 0 be sure you have two M.2 sockets that are on dedicated CPU lanes. Most desktops have one M.2 on cpu lanes and one M.2 on chipset shared cpu lanes. The chipset M.2 can't keep up with the real direct cpu lane M.2 drive.

Question 2

Will this work on PS5?

Accepted Answer

PS5 is currently allowing select people to run a beta OS/firmware update that allows users to install another M.2 into the expandable storage slot. This is on the compatible/recommended list. I will be buying it once the update goes live to everyone. It's important to note that the PS5 requires it to have a heat sink installed on it, and there's a maximum height of 11.25mm. I'd imagine it's required because it's a rather warm running system.

Question 3

What is the guaranteed tbw like 970 pro has 1200tb warranty. what are the claims of 980 pro?

Accepted Answer

The TBW warranty for the 980 Pro is half the one for a 970 Pro of the same size. The lower TBW figure could be significant in some applications because the SSD is not only used to store data. It is also used as virtual memory. If virtual memory is heavily used, lots of TBs could be written and read in a short amount of time.

Question 4

Any noticable difference in game loading times from a gen 3 NVMe to this one?

Accepted Answer

No really won't notice the diffence. It'll only be by a couple seconds.  Samsung's gen 3 NVMe SSD actually booting games up faster then other brand gen 4 SSD because of how good the firmware is with samsung ssd.  The biggest place where you will see the biggest difference is with really big files, the faster speeds of gen 4 will start to expand the gap in superiority with load times of very big files. But that's not really real world. If you are mainly doing games and little files here and there, gen 3 is just fine
