Review: WD Black NVME SSD (1TB)
Earlier last year Western Digital launched their WD Black series NVMe SSDs. We finally have a chance to test one thoroughly. The SSD has SanDisk written all over it, literally, and that is a good thing as this storage unit reaches that 3400 MB/s level in performance.

.24 per GB just a typo m8. you put TB. Maybe in 20 years from now will we get 24cents per TB.

I was close to pulling the trigger on an NVMe SSD during this years Black Friday deals, where the 970 Evo 500GB was the best deal, but after looking at the real world differences to desktop & application response there is virtually no practical difference between a good SATA3 SSD and an NVMe SSD (e.g. windows boot time, application load times, game load times). I think there are some benefits of NVMe SSD but they are quite specific use cases - moving large files around, working with large databases, and I think I heard that major windows updates and application installations may take less time, but at the moment I can't justify the extra price of NVMe SSD.
The NVMe SSD in this Guru3d review does look like a very good example of one though.

TBH I've noticed zero difference in real world performance coming from my 2x 480 SATA SSDs (raid 0) to this 1TB NVMe SSD. In benchmarks it shows but I've never seen it upon loading Windows or my games.

Yeah the main bottleneck on traditional HDD's is not really the read speeds 100-200 mb are ok, the speedy boot comes from the ssd ability to seek files or their fragments 30+ times faster.

I got one on these in the black Friday deals, think I paid around £160? A friend got a 512GB one for about £85.
