Seagate Reveals FireCuda NVME Gaming SSDs and IronWolf 110 SSD for NAS
Seagate has introduced a number of SSD innovations at CES 2019 in Las Vegas, including two new M.2 models such as the Seagate FireCuda 510 and the world's first SSD specifically for NAS systems.
Seagate FireCuda 510
With the FireCuda 510, Seagate introduces a new M.2 SSD connected via PCIe with NVMe, which can handle up to 3,400 MB/s read and 3,150 MB/s write. The SSD is aimed especially at gamers and creative users who need high performance. The capacities should be 1 TB and 2 TB, the Seagate FireCuda 510 should appear in March 2019. What type of flash chips the SSD uses and which controller is used is currently unknown. Prices are not known yet.
Seagate Barracuda 510
The BarraCuda 510 has a similar design but is a bit less efficient. It is also connected in M.2 format and via PCIe with NVMe. As a result, the SSD reaches up to 3,400 MB / s in reading and 2,100 MB / s in writing. The Seagate BarraCuda 510 will also be available in March 2019, then in 256GB and 512GB sizes. Even with this model, details about the controller and the flash chips are not yet known. Prices are not yet available for this model.
Seagate IronWolf 110
Seagate's third innovation is the IronWolf 110 SATA SSD for NAS systems, making the manufacturer the world's first. The drive is designed for longevity and reliability and is designed for the enterprise class. So far, the "good old" hard drives in NAS systems were mainly used, Seagate dares now the first attempt with an SSD. Connected via SATA 6 Gb / s, the IronWolf 110 achieves up to 560 MB / s in reading and 535 MB / s in writing. Available capacities are 240 GB, 480 GB and 960 GB, 1.9 TB and 3.84 TB. When and at what price the SSD should be available, is still unknown.

According to the competition the drives all use the new Phison E12 controller coupled with Toshiba 64-layer 3D TLC.
Performance should be quite good, it'll be interesting to see store pricing.

No, i am the same.
"Gaming": take a mid range (low if you are greedy) put a sticker with dragon, robot, militaria or carbon and add RGB led and sell it at the price of high end gold plattered product
Am i the only one that cringe when i see "gaming" on ssd's????

It makes me cringe on just about everything that doesn't involve input latency, so monitors, mice and keyboards get a pass.

What $200 gaming keyboard got against plastic 5$ one?
I understand game mouses can fit hand better. Still cant understand the difference between pushing keys. They register all the same.
I had gaming keyboards that broke after year of usage, still happily punching my old $5 keyboard.
You might want PS/2 for reduced lag.

PS/2 sends a hardware interrupt instead of polling, but polling at 1000Hz seems to yield faster results in the end (trick jumps were noticeable easier). Then there's also durability. With mechanical my keyboards last for years, whereas rubber domes would wear out for me in a year or less.
Though if you just want decent latency, there's plenty of half decent € 50 or less keyboards out there. I also never buy the top end keyboards, I usually buy the cheaper mechanical without all the bells and whistles.

I still use this https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/54/Logitech-Gaming-Keyboard-G15.jpg but SSD does make a difference in gaming but of course just on loading. Some games take way too long to load and SSD stops me banging my head on my ancient keyboard,lol. Oh and sadly my lcd on keyboard broke many years ago.
