Personally I'm not really counting performance as the most important factor anymore. Reliability and longevity is way more important in most cases. A drive should just live as long as possible because in most cases it won't be replaced often enough. People tend to just wait that little bit to long if they don't have a written service scheme. So longevity is what I'm looking for.
@@seewhyaneyesee Speed is easy to demonstrate while longevity is hard. It's just a set of numbers that the brand publishes and to actually test them would take a very long time and preferably many SSD's. It's both frustrating and a good thing at the same time. It's frustrating that we very seldom get actual test data that confirms or deny the accuracy of the data the brand publishes. But it's good that they are almost always stable enough that testing the information takes that much time that no one is really able to test it.
I think it needs to be said that in terms of "maximum bandwidth" potential. PCI gen 5 lane bandwidth is twice what a PCI gen 4 lane is. So even though the 990 EVO is PCI gen 5, it is operating at PCI gen 4( albeit slightly slower than other drives) bandwith.
From my understanding looking through tons of mini PCs at least on AMDs side they all 3 PCIe 4.0 4x4. I would assume if they move to a PCIe 5.0 they would still have PCIe 5.0 4x4 since they wouldn't have less lanes available unless they are a lower end part.
This is how I think consumer gen 5 drives should be. Gen 5x2 or gen 4x4 so on new platforms u can have 2x the nu:bed of drives without sharing bandwidth
Hey this is off topic but which 4bay NAS would you buy as of now. I have a DS224+ and want to update. Mostly used for photos/files but would like to use it for a Plex too. Will be using the already used drives.
Can I recommend you watch the actual 'review'. Also...did you not hear the intro? 5 reasons it's good and 5 reasons it's bad...dropping out half way kind of utterly defeats the point when you say that it's too positive....jeez...
Everyone talks about the power consumption. I don’t know what the real life stats is. Maybe that’s on your other video. But on paper, the one terabyte Evo runs only .2 to .4 watts less than the 990 Pro. Is that enough to make a difference?
its perfect for like a 2019 MacBook Pro,space grey laptop...not a 2023 laptop..But it is good for a 2023 laptop..now what I mean...hybrid...versitile ssd, that can be shared around a family gaming, house,,with kids
Can't buy it, until April 30th for #$% sakes...lol..Im pumped about trying this Cool new 990 EVO!.In my 2013 Mac Pro Trashcan....Gen 3 machine...Fully restored...I upgraded the processor in the trashcan..to a 3.3 ghz...4.0 turbo 8 core...from the 1680....3.0 8 core, that was stocky. my goal with the 2 tb 990 EVO,is to hit the max 1600 read interface, of the old, but I like it,,2013 Mac Pro..6.1 model..with 6 display ports.and 2 fire pro 700 GPUs 64 gbs OWC 1866ghz memory, the trash can wrks nice, with my 4k 43" Roku monitor
It's random read and writes faster than the 990 pro!..Another Swiss tech should the numbers..for every day use....This ssd is good!..it's going in my 2013 Mac Pro trash can.that has a 1600 max read , interface,Im going with this, over the 970 EVO Plus..in a gen 3 machine..It will shine!..it's 89$ on sale at Best Buy..sale ends today guys...it's an upgrade to the 970 EVO Plus...thats what it is..ps5 compatible..it's fast as fuck..for every day utube,facebook use
if your just watching tube. checking Facebook.etc..random, read and write stuff, the smart Swiss guy said!,,I like your advice too, buy the way!,that this ssd,, was the 3 fastest random ,read and write ssd, he ever tested!..yes he said, even faster than the 990 pro..Cruical T 700 was 1st of course..But see guys!/..this thing is sleeper fast!
I know i get suckered into the specs. So under dscmanagment/properties My samsung laptop says its got a sn530 sdbpnpz-512g-1004. (speeds read/write 2400/2000) it's full, but still never really complain about performance for my case use. Does that mean i can basically get the cheapest branded 2/4tb product and know that it will be plenty good enough for my requirements? Whether i put it into the desktop or into a usb caddy?
Feels like indeed Samsung is playing it safe. Much like indeed all(!) their previous SSD-type product-releases in the past year or so. Almost feels like money-grabbing to me. Where as in the past Samsung did release some ground-breaking products, nowadays they are just way behind and "follow the crowd". I mean, look at the T9 you reviewed a couple of months ago, that is truly a shameful product. As if their designers & engineers (& marketing?) are lazy b.sterds and just slap-on a new name on old(er) technology, nothing innovative. At all. (and maybe they are hit a wee bit hard about the failings of their products, to which you also have reported upon too)

Same here!
But everybody is only talking about the speed since it is the only thing they can showboat about. Drives me nuts at times.

Brilliant a new Video - New subsciber - loving your content!!

This drive is 1200 TBW , much better than other competitors.
This guy is the truth & should have way more F'n subscribers 👍🏿 RESPECTFULLY
I can't wait to try this cool 990 EVO, sleeper fast...ssd...new technology....Always is flying at 4500mbs type sleeper...EVO!

How do I know if my system supports HBM?
For example the new itx board with the amd 7840hs
This is how I think consumer gen 5 drives should be. Gen 5x2 or gen 4x4 so on new platforms u can have 2x the nu:bed of drives without sharing bandwidth
But is it more power efficient than the SK Hynix Gold P31 M.2?

Got about a third through this video before seeing it purely as a promotional advert rather than a ‘review’.
Why not just state this at the start?

watching the review, i was looking outside wondering if i had some migrating seagulls flying by lol
#ihateseagulls !
Good video and information but having the same clip memory is ram clip play over and over and over like 20 times, is annoying af tbh.
what card was the big nvme slot in pci-e card?

the 970 evo was the last samsung drive im bought. the 990.. what an abysmal product for the current day.
A lot of modern handheld gaming PCs actually do use 2280s!
Do they? I'm super out of touch. I thought it was still the 2242 steam deck style everywhere. My bad
Definitely! For instance, Ayaneo uses 2280 for most (all?) of their gaming handheld PCs.
My Samsung magician doesn't work on my rog ally or my desktop. To get it to work I have to reinstall it every time I want to check firmware😂
Hahahhahaha love your videos, and I totally agree with all your points.
In terms of the NAND storage chips, clearly Samsung are using old stock
It's random read and writes faster than the 990 pro!..Another Swiss tech should the numbers..for every day use....This ssd is good!..it's going in my 2013 Mac Pro trash can.that has a 1600 max read , interface,Im going with this, over the 970 EVO Plus..in a gen 3 machine..It will shine!..it's 89$ on sale at Best Buy..sale ends today guys...it's an upgrade to the 970 EVO Plus...thats what it is..ps5 compatible..it's fast as fuck..for every day utube,facebook use
