I am sticking with Gen 4 NVME drives in Crucial and Samsung, for now at least. Interesting video. Cheers! (Crucial P5 Plus, Samsung 980 Pro, Acer GM 7000) (SK Hynix Gold P31 (Gen 3))
Although those speeds are impressive, I'd sooner wait a couple of years before I dive into getting one. No problems with what I have so far. Nice informative video, Vlad..
Can the heat sink come off easily? I’m planning to use my motherboard’s more beefy heat sink instead. Note that I got the t700 with the heat sink as it was funnily enough cheaper than the non heat sink version.
Yes I did with and without it, I removed it and I am using it on the mobo with it's own heatsink. The version without is a little bit better for motherboard usage bcs it has graphene heat spreader already on it...
Nope, since there are no Gen5 GPUs yet 😁 And even if there were, this drive is only x4 not more, there is a dedicated NVME slot directly in connection with the CPU, so GPU (PCIe x16 Slot 1) remains intact and at full speed... Now again, even if some boards do drop that, Gen5 x8 is the same as Gen4 x16 speed, technically you are not loosing anything
I have a a T700, Dark Hero motherboard, i9 14900kf, 32gb of 7200 ram and the ssd in the gen5 slot under the beastly heatsink. I'm only getting 3500/3500 read/write on crystaldiskmark. Any idea what's going on?
@@xValorxSorax Oh you think you know better? PS5 uses a PCIe 4.0 x4 Model with a MAXIMUM of 5,500 MBps read speed. The max read speed of this drive is around 12,000 MBps. Not only will the PS5 never be able to take advantage of this drives speed, it will also run hotter than normal because of the power needed for the drive. So you'll be wasting money AND get a hotter PS5 at the same time. But don't listen to me, only custom built my computer with 4 different NVME drive's, including this one, totalling to 12TB of space.. So maybe go "yeah whatever dude" someone else.
The real world performance compared to a 3.0 SATA drive in real world use doesn't seem much faster at all. It's only in specific use scenarios or synthetic benchmarks that these 5.0 drives fly. Loading a big game though, you're not going to see really much improvement at all over a 3.0 Ssata cable SDD. You might want to break out a stop watch and do some real world timing tests.
WHAT A LIE... IVE SWITCHED FROM SAMSUNG 950 PRO GEN 3 TO GEN 5 CRUCIAL... ITS A NIGHT AND DAY. WEB BROWSING TO GAMING ITS A COMPLETELY NEW LEVEL!!!! CURENTLY FASTEST IN THE WORLD HELLO...
@@patriciaweber9832 A faster drive shouldn't increase your webbrwosing speed at all. Once the webbrowser is launched and open, it's all in your RAM. I spent my money on 128gb of RAM, and created a RAM drive to save my current project and OBS records in. RAM is even faster and there is no penalty to writing to it thousands of times.
@hawky2k215 Yeah, I suffered stuck under 4gb (3.5gb) for decades... then I finally got a machine that could do 8gb... then jumped to two 8350FX that could support 32gb each, and I could finally open as many tabs as I wanted. Now I rock a 7950x with 128gb.... checking task manager, I'm using 86 out of 128gb right now in open Firefox tabs. What limits me most is no longer the memory, but how long Windows 10 can stay up before randomly crashing. Oddly, one of the things that makes my system crash the most is posting a YT comment... the edit box itself, typing in it, will precipitate a blue screen of death. My windows 10 reliablility index hovers around 2.5 out of 10.
R&C literally instant loading through the rifts, that I can tell you since I am playing it every night 😁 Regarding Forspoken, don't have it nor I plan to obtain it, for now at least 😂
I'm pleasantly surprised with this video's level of detail and substance. Awesome video. thanks for posting! :D
Thanks buddy 😊

oh yea, I'm so excited to buy it...
I put a Corsair XM2 on this T700. My custom water loop tames this beastly drive. No throttles.
I'll bet that it can do more with 232-layers of NAND and Win 11.
Nice video.
In time it will 😁 Thanks buddy 👍
since youre done benchmarking, i'll gladly take it off your hands :>
And it's on that board as my main drive + video projects drive 😎
Tell me please if is it good with Z590 Steel Legend.

Thanks buddy, personally I think things will get clear within 2 years top with Gen5 drives, maybe even sooner 🙌
Looks like I may need a new m.2!
Well choice is obvious then 🤘
Very nice…but for now I’m still happy with my WD SN850X
Can’t wait until Samsung comes up with their own gen5 ssd.
Looking forward to them and also Kingston 🙌
Crucial does not dominate every category, so hopefully Samsung would be best in all categories.
Can’t imagine what the price would be, them already being expensive asf
Same
131 in to the video.....
LPDDR4 Ram, I wonder why some Gen 5 drives use 2Gb/4Gb/ and or 8Gb on the 1/ 2Tb, and 4Tb models? Thank you , very much.

There's a version without the heat sink.
@@jollygoodfellow3957 but as I mentioned, the one with heat sink was cheaper, so no point in getting the more expensive version that gives less
It comes of with ease I did the same as well 👍
Note: Crucial Storage Exec does NOT play nicely with other brand name drives.
Did you use the one that came with the heatsink?
Yes I did with and without it, I removed it and I am using it on the mobo with it's own heatsink. The version without is a little bit better for motherboard usage bcs it has graphene heat spreader already on it...
Does it works with roblox?
i have question, if i'm instal this nvme gen5 n gpu run in x8 not x16 in pci line right? and peformance gpu is down yes?
Nope, since there are no Gen5 GPUs yet 😁
And even if there were, this drive is only x4 not more, there is a dedicated NVME slot directly in connection with the CPU, so GPU (PCIe x16 Slot 1) remains intact and at full speed...

@@johnnymetonymicyes faulty nvme
does it fit with the heatsink in a PS5?
PS5 uses Gen 4, so it wouldn't really matter to get this drive...

Vey nice video
The problem with your critical data on an NVME 5.0 drive cooking... is well.. all your data is... cooking.
There’s a version of this one with heatsink

Stop talking and show us Forspoken and Ratchet and Clank performance on these new direct storage games !!

It's milliseconds not microseconds 😄
Nope it's microseconds, take a look at the symbol, it's for microseconds 👌
Double-checked 👍
