'member when these were $2000? I do

Same here, feel like a dumbass

Why would I need a NVME tho

Fucking why? I was looking at the prices and it is like $20 to upgrade from 250gb to 500

Now wait a minute, I just paid $162.99 for that exact SSD two weeks ago! What the heck, man?!

Enjoy your 500mb/s bottleneck. SATA is only good for hard drives.

I am still on 128GiB. Why bother upgrading? Anything datahoarding related is on my HDDs, which are way more secure than SSD bloatware

is this better?

>Some time ago I paid more for technology X. How can this be?
kys.

That's not a nvme

>His face when crypto mining with ssd becomes a thing

860 are still SATA in speeds. I have one.

I could see if it were like three-six months ago, but I never expected such a drastic price drop to happen within the same month on the same website.

Agree. Also TRIM on encrypted drives is a security issue for SSD. I've heard stories of data just disappearing after a year of being turned off. Meanwhile an old hard disk drive from 2005 still had the data on.

get price protection from your cc card

M.2 is just the connector, there are SATA and PCIe interfaces, for better speed you need PCIe with NVMe

>SATA

The only difference is that you don't have to deal with wires. If you want better performance, go with NVMe.

>hpoo
This drive dies before you even see the advantage of the speed.

How big is the difference between SATA and NVMe? Is it anywhere near as big as when I upgraded from an HDD to an SSD?

Speed wise it's like 5x faster. Definitely a must if you play video games.

thinkpad use only nand ssd

I already have 2 TB of SSD storage. Time to clone my boot drive to NVME and expand to 4 TB
Spinning media is a meme

>500mb/s bottleneck
the actual bottleneck when you're doing filetransfer is going to be usb 3 or your internet/wifi connection speed. NVME is a meme

so when can I expect these prices to be updated on Apple's website?

Shut it. A SATA III SSD is already bottlenecked by other parts in the computer when it comes to loading games.

>bottlenecked by other parts
such as?

I have 450 GB worth of data that I need to sift through and reorganize for a CNN I'm training. This is perfect for me.

Nvr lolz

USB 3 speeds are faster than an SSD. NVME SSD speeds are faster than USB 3. You can have large games on there and they will load much faster than regular SSD.

He's probably got slow ram and a cpu that isn't a modern i7/i9. There's no bottleneck with good parts.

Translated to real world unit it'd be half a second faster loading a game.

Literally not noticable whether you have 600MBs or 2GBs unless you are transferring huge amounts of data all the time.

Isn't the storage integrated directly into the motherboard?

>moves or loads 2 GB file
>2GB/s takes 1 second
>600 MB/s takes 3.4 seconds
LITERALLY NOT NOTICEABLE

>mfw when I paid like $400 for my 460GB ssd 5-6 years ago

For modern games: Network (technically usually a problem with the game's servers and not your computer), CPU and GPU decompressing everything with stupid 4k texture bloat - the larger individual files get chewed up by the SSD but then there's more shit for the rest of the PC to work on.

I unpack 80gig of BDMV rar quite frequently

acceptable usage for NVME

>2 GB file
>what is a buffer

looked at any real-world benchmarks recently?

underrated

Except those are all QLC with a buffer. QLC on its own is as slow as a normal 5400RPM HDD. They all have a tiering system with RAM and a better NAND chip to give you the appearance of fast performance, but if you saturate the buffers with large file transfers it slows to an absolute crawl.

Yes but it is just a SSD welded to the motherboard

>buying electronics 3 weeks before black friday

You are retarded tho not for the reasons the other user said

Just the beginning. By the new year SSD's will be half of what they are now.

Doesn't matter, it's not like they are physically switching the SSD.

>USB 3 speeds are faster than an SSD
And you can count the number of thumbdrives/external drives that actually reach those speeds on the fingers of one hand

Current stock will be sold out and QLC like intel's 660p crap will filter in as QLC yields go up rapidly

fuck yes

can't wait to replace my spinning rust RAIDarray with all flash

It already is. Snowblossom

>need to copy 400GB
>less than 1/6 a second
fucking christ have we really reached this point?

Do you guys even watch reviews of the products you are talking about or do you just make assumptions based on theoretical write/read speeds?

There is no advantage in game loading with an nvme drive, nor for anything else the average person is doing on their computer to increase speed. What it does do better is insanely high transfer speeds between two nvme drives, and that's it.

How you holdin' up, bros

4TB SSD for $200 next year!

I'm going to wait till Thanksgiving to see if prices drop even lower.

>Enjoy your 500mb/s bottleneck

Most of us aren't bottlenecked by this since we use our SSDs mostly for accessing small files.

>Meanwhile in the UK it's still £160

you fucking retard

no issues as a windows drive with page file and all

This is how brainlets get ripped off. The $200 original price is full retarded for a 860 Evo. Shit I just looked and I could buy one for 160€ right now, no sales involved.

I remember when there was a single 1TB PCIe SSD on the consumer market from MAGMA and Dolphin and it was like $15,000 lol

That's $180 you eurocuck. You're the only one getting ripped off

You fail for falling for the Intel meme

Hold old is the 120? Ive been using a 520 since 2012 and its still at 100%.

Thinking about buying a 500 GB SSD this Friday. What's an acceptable price?

2.5", mSATA, M.2 SATA, or M.2 NVMe?

kek, seething iToddlers rn

shouldn't I use a 860 PRO for a machine that's going to host multiple VMs?

Post the same benchmark version next time.

ah, I see that you are also of exsquisite taste. i too spend $128/TB for data destruction services

$25

nvme is only noticeably better than sata in things such as data transferring and video rendering. outside of that, it's pointless.

>noticeably better than sata in things such as data transferring and video rendering
>data transferring
You're a special kind of stupid aren't you? What do you intend to do with your sata or nvme port other than transfer data?

Once they drop a bit more, is there any reason to use HDDs?

I need 3tb for around 200 bucks before I can finally never use a spinning disk ever again.

>is there any reason to use HDDs?
nope
