Gen 5 drives are so lame lol
I’m having a blast with them. You’ll need some effort to take advantage of them, though. For example, standard C or C++ file IO lets the operating system do some buffering/caching in the background, which completely thrashes CPU and consequently also read performance. Do unbuffered reads, for which you’ll unfortunately have to use native winapi because its not in the c standard, an you’ll be able to fully utilize the SSD.
Why? Because they all run so hot they require big heat spreaders?
Also in real world situations you are very unlikely to notice performance differences vs a Gen 4 drive.
lol how I bought a t700 and love it
Double the price of a good gen 4 drive, with little performance gain and the requirement of a hilariously big cooler.
It’s only $150 aud more than the 990 pro and my motherboards cooler keeps it under 65c so how is it hard to cool
*yawn*, another Phison E26 drive that is pretty much the same as the crucial t700 thats been out for a bit now…
Yeah, but the T700 is still the fastest 4TB drive. Nobody has beaten that
Tell me when there are gen 5 drives that run as cool as gen 4
Pretty funny that solid state drives that are supposed to be solid are back to relying on mechanical elements to operate.
