Soon we will need watercooling just for the ssd's

This proves how crucial cooling is 😎

Sequential write speed seems to be throttled similar to HDD speed, but random speeds are still 100x better than HDD. Kinda misleading headline 😕

I mean, I guess there is a reason why they offer a model that ships with a pre-installed cooler.

still waiting pci-e 4 to run fullspeed without cooling :V oh wait, that's about pcie 3

It's good and expected that the drive throttle its performance when it gets too hot, but if it's slowing down to HDD speeds then that to me very clearly suggests something is very inefficient with its design.
But hey at least it's not like Corsair where they just let the data get corrupted.

"For those who dare..."
Let's make it common to relate their stupid slogan with their own stupid choices.

After lots of researching , reading and more reading for a long while it is obvious NVMEs pcie 5.0 are not ready for prime time. I was about to get onboard with a corsair MP700 pcie 5.0 nvme , but after doing my research and reading of the high end cooling requirement and firmware bugs i decided againts it and bought a Samsung 990 Pro 2TB. Let it mature longer , let's say 1-2 years , then maybe it will be a viable solution when more mature hardware and software makes it to retail , right now only Phison 26 is the only one option that makes pcie 5.0 controllers 😏.

Let's call it "they pulled an Asus !"
People eventually they will forget from where the slogan came 😛 hmm on the other hand gigabyte is quite explosive too ...

Interesting choice to go with a 990 pro because that too had firmware problems.
chispy
It has long been fixed already.

Hardware encryption on the drive is scheduled to be fixed this month according to a Samsung employee .
It works on a 980 pro or older, but on a 990 pro I do not think it has been solved yet.
If you do not use it, then it does not matter but the 990 pro is sadly not bug free ½ year later.

Meanwhile SSDs....

My plan in moving to U.2/U.3 over time, i feel m.2 is simply too small for having enough storage and will be too hot to cool, while u.2/u.3 usually come with better heatsink that can be placed outside the motherboard where you can place a fan near them.
Hope in time manufactures on higher end consumer boards start including Oculink connectors to make this easier, instead of using adapters.

So, if I cool a HDD well enough, it will give the NVMe speeds? 😛

I dont mind active cooling on pcie5 nvme as long it keeps the advertised speed. I do mind the current pricing tho.
