Shut up and take my kidney sabrent ! Jokes aside good to see 8tb nvme so the 2 and 4 tb models start dropping too

Well according to there website there 2tb pci-e 4 is $429 but the pci-e 3 version is 599 and the 4 tb pci-e 3 is $899 so it wouldnt surprise me if its over $2000, also by the time its formated it`ll be closer to 7tb

Did anyone find Sabrent m.2 ssd's in EU? Can't find it in Norway 🙁

Crazy. But in a few years, nobody will ever use spinning drives and we're either be running SATA or NVME PCBs. Good times ahead.

Theres plenty of use for disk drives with large video files and backups.
Video has no need for fast storage and can be massive, It would be a waste of money using SSDs.
I wont use an SSD for a backup, they fade faster.

I welcome our new NVME speed/size overlords. It will make the peasant drives cheaper.

I would love it on an TLC flavor. But probably it is impossible because you need more density so QLC is the answer. I'm still a little scary of QLC ssds life span. Probably this days QLC is as durable as any SSD

With so many 100gb+ games these days it's not as if size increase has happened quick enough for my liking.
2tb and 4tb should be focused first since 8tb is gonna be for wealthy people for a good 3-4 years yet to come.
Maybe in 2024 we will get decent 8tb NVME drives.

Stupid question, but are there SSD that are NVMe and are NOT m2 format.

I have to admit I never learned anything about the M.2 bus, but is it theoretically possible to make a riser card that fits into an M.2 slot and allows it to "see" one drive that's in fact made up of several, stacked, in some sort of RAID format? So for example, install the riser card into the M.2 slot, then plug in four 2TB drives into the card and RAID0 them into one 8TB drive? If you see my point. I guess the riser would have to have a RAID controller built-in that could be programmed. Anyway, back when I was a kid we used to stack RAM chips for a cheap upgrade.
