Guys, THE DEAL IS STILL GOING ON IF YOU MISSED IT. I just saw the amazon listing go through another lightning sale for $118.99 for the drive. Sold out on maybe ~10 mins.
Keep a lookout! Personally I opted for this 2TB Sabrent drive since I think it's a better deal @ 219.99.
No, but Samsung drives are commonly pretty poor value. The Sabrent Rocket 2TB, for example, is $30 CAD cheaper, carries the same 5 year warranty, and performance is similar (the Rocket may also carry better endurance ratings, but honestly I can't find an apples-to-apples comparison here with the language. I'm hesitant to say that it outclasses the 970 Evo and then find out I'm wrong).
I don't understand differences between these types of drives. I've been thinking on upgrading my OS drive from 1TB to 2TB. I have this one but 1TB, so should I get the one I put on Amazon or the one OP put?
I will move the 1TB to my laptop which is only 256GB
I did, but did a bad job of it... Sabrent Rocket #'s looked a bit higher... So now I'm looking at a Rocket Q(white and blue label) or Sabrent Rocket (Standard). Can't seem to figure out the difference, so probably will just go standard Rocket (black and blue label) as you and a few others have mentioned that model.
for what it’s worth, these have worked good.
Sabrent 2TB Rocket NVMe PCIe M.2 2280 Internal SSD High Performance Solid State Drive (SB-ROCKET-2TB) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MTQTNVR/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_KTFJ1VRHBEH3J03S5Y9E
it’s TLC and has a nice 3100TBW.
I have the one you are talking about as my main boot / gaming drive but yeah I don’t plot with that one.
Thanks so much for the input! I went with the TLC version because of this post! Was the TLC one like this? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MTQTNVR
I'm only asking to make sure because this one is white instead of blue like you mentioned. I'll just use the same things that came with the device. Remove that metal sticker(s) and place it on the TLC. I've backed everything up using Macrium so far and I'll install it as soon as it comes in.
How long have you had the new SSD installed?
Ah of course pricing varies country to country so fair play. Not that it matters much these drives will serve you well. The SX8100, 8200 and 8200 pro at the least are all TLC, just not gen4. Sabrent sells drives using almost the same if not the same NAND cells that aren't gen4 too. Out of interest, what does one of these cost in your country as this and the SX series drives are practically interchangable performance wise
P5:
> Proprietary in house controller with 96L TLC. It's an interesting drive with great performance but it's not quite flagship level (mediocre random and low QD operations) on either the consumer or pro end (compared to the 2262EN, E12, Phoenix, sn750).
> The interesting thing about this drive is its dynamic SLC caching, with extremely fast and "smart" cache recovery (allocates more of its storage to SLC when hit with heavy tasks, instead of less like virtually every other drive). It functionally has an extremely large SLC cache without hitting a folding wall like standard large dynamic SLC designs (2262EN), also thanks to its very powerful controller. This means very good burst AND sustained performance but:
> Powerful controller also means it is very power hungry, and puts out a ton of heat. You will likely throttle without additional cooling for it if you're planning to hit it hard
> Tldr: very close to the gen 3 flagships with an innovative design. Excellent first effort from Crucial, but probably wait for 2nd gen
What are you doing with it? Just gaming? 8200P/S11P for $270. If you're doing disk intensive work, Rocket is $350 no tax (~310 before tax equivalent in most provinces) and is a better drive than the P5, and is competitive with the 970EP: https://www.amazon.ca/Sabrent-Rocket-Internal-Performance-SB-ROCKET-2TB/dp/B07MTQTNVR/
Why not save some money and instead of two NVMe drives you got one 2TB SSD? (https://www.amazon.com/Sabrent-Rocket-Internal-Performance-SB-ROCKET-2TB/dp/B07MTQTNVR/ref=mp_s_a_1_2_sspa?dchild=1&keywords=2tb+nvme&qid=1604127395&sr=8-2-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEyQ1U3ME9CSERNMkxXJmVuY3J5cH...). And do you really need an X570? Might be able to save some coin on the motherboard with a B550. Just my two cents. The rest looks really nice.
It's this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MTQTNVR/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_Pc7rFb4GPWVKY
A few members on the Discord received single sided versions. Unfortunately the single and double sided are both sold under one listing, just lottery of getting new or old stock, hence possibly needing to return and try again.
The Samsung 970 EVO is not a great value. I have a Sabrent Rocket that I like. The 2 TB version is under $300.
Newegg has some 2070 Supers for under $600 that'll outperform the RTX 2060 Super, but it looks like most of the RGB ones like the AORUS are significantly more, so it's up to you.
You should 100% get a NVME drive, but IMHO the 970 Pro is overpriced. There are plenty of way cheaper drives.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MTQTNVR
You should probably look at some successful builds and see what boards people are using - PSU is important, but don't overpay for it. There isn't any compatibility concerns, other than making sure it can power all the parts you select. Maybe check /r/buildapcsales and see what deals they have.
I was thinking of buying the Sabrent 2TB Rocket NVMe (SB-ROCKET-2TB), either now or during black Friday sales (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sabrent-Rocket-Internal-Performance-SB-ROCKET-2TB/dp/B07MTQTNVR/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=m.2%2B2tb%2Bssd&qid=1595601936&sr=8-3&th=1)
Is this still a good consumer nvme SSD to buy with all the various changes they've made over the last ~9 months? (Presuming those changes have made it worse, didn't understand all of the nvme SSD jargon) If not, is there another consumer nvme SSD you'd recommend for me to look at? (I'm looking at the PCIe 3.0 consumer nvme drives)
Would this Sabrent variant work also ?? thanks in advance !
Sabrent 2TB Rocket NVMe PCIe M.2 2280 Internal SSD High Performance Solid State Drive (SB-ROCKET-2TB)
Ram looks fine, and you have an NVME storage (m.2 yes, but it handles WAAAAAY faster stuff!)
OK, the differences in SSD and NVME are huge, SSD: 500MB/s vs NVME 3,000MB/s
That said, both of the drives you linked are SSD, one just happnes to fit in an NVME slot, and both will be perfectly fine for general use. Here is a sabrent NVME for a little ($50) more than your m.2 choice.
The stock wireless is a 1x1 Intel AC3165, I suggest upgrading to an AC8260.
The 8260 is essentially the enterprise-grade dual channel version of the stock one, that trades off WiVi for more business-oriented features like 802.11v, and better connectivity.
The above wireless choices are just what I went with, and it has worked flawlessly across windows and Linux equally, so I recommend them on a purely personal level.
Not a fan of hdd:s. They are too loud and annoying. I just have two ssd's totalling 1500 gb.
They are:
1tb - Seagate 1 TB BarraCuda SSD 2.5 Inch SATA 3D NAND Internal Solid State Drive
And a - crucial mx500 at 500gb
Both are extremely fast. Find them yourself and add them.
Remove both your ssd and hdd, for both of these easy to install, silent ssd's that perform at high speeds. Of 560mbs compared to your 400mbs ssd's.
Also since you do have an x570 motherboard you can go for a PCIE4 SSD. Which operate at INSANE level of 5 gigabytes per second. Which is 10x faster than the ssd's available. I got you the USA link, its not on pc part picker.
So either choose the any 2 of these 3.
So the SX8200 Pro (and the S11 Pro) both use a portion of their available space as a cache to improve performance by running it in SLC mode (higher performance but more space is needed). When the cache runs out, the performance drops. As you continue to write, that space doesn't get freed up so if you run out of regular space, now the drive has to free that space up and performance tanks again. This phenomenon becomes easier to trigger the more full the drive is.
For regular usage, the average person would only experience this in very specific edge cases, and generally not frequently enough to justify the price premium of something like an SN750. But for workloads where one might write hundreds of GB at once, it can really become an issue.
If you want a more thorough analysis, Anandtech did a really good job of it. You can really see the differences in the whole drive writes and last 16GB writes (obviously ridiculous edge cases but it's worth nothing). These are for 1TB drives though, the impact appears to be less for 2TB. Unfortunately I don't have good numbers comparing all the drives at 2TB. On the other hand, it's good for bursty workloads because of it's massive cache (assuming it's relatively empty).
At 1TB, the SN750 is an easy recommendation because the price difference is very small. For 2TB, it becomes trickier. If you're in a situation where time is money, the SN750 will probably pay itself off over time. If it's more just bang for buck, I'd probably look at the Sabrent Rocket 2TB (there is no tax charged on it) since it has a much more consistent performance than the Adata drives.
Noteworthy: 2TB version is $280-$50 coupon = $230.
Link is here
I have a 5950X with 128GB Ram.
Have 2 NVMes on my MB, two extra slots through PCIe.
Running 4 Jobs // per NVME (90Min stage) and that ships 3.5TiB / Day, knowing I buffer my "final plots" to Nvmes and move them around through CRON Jobs.
Now those Nvmes are Gen3, CPU runs at 50%. Will try to get some of those.
Tweaking my conf might increase efficiency, but I'd say you can't really expect 10TiB.
As a comparison 3700 with 2 NVMEs and 32Gbs ships around 2TiB/day.
Holiday sales are always a temporary price dip; what you'll see in the next month or two is that averages prices will hit those holiday sale prices, and the new temporary sale prices will be lower still.
A good recent example is the Phison E12 based Inland Premium 1TB NVMe M.2 for $99 at Micro Center.
Came out of nowhere several months ago as an update to their previous Inland Professional series, landed at ~$140 and has been dropping steadily ever since. Performs extremely well and is one of the best bang/buck ratios for an NVMe M.2 drive right now. Sabrent has their Rocket series 2TB NVMe M.2 drive priced down to near $260, and they'll continue to drop. Intel's 660p can currently be purchased for less than $200 on Amazon as well, if performance isn't as much of a concern.
I just upgraded my storage a few days ago.
I decided on Sabrent 2TB Rocket NVMe PCIe M.2 2280 Internal SSD High Performance Solid State Drive (SB-ROCKET-2TB)
I used https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rehA0elife4&feature=youtu.be to get me into and upgrade the laptop. It was a very accurate video for the complete upgrade.
I currently have Thermal Pads being shipped to me. Should arrive tomorrow or the next day. I'll be replacing the Thermal Paste and all of the Thermal Pads soon as they arrive.
Edit: Forgot to add. SO FAR LOVING the extra memory. TOTALLY worth the money spent. For the cost of a external you could get double the size m.2 stick. Just watch Newegg shell shocker page. They put 1tb on sale every other day.
I would switch the SSD to the Sabrent Rocket that is current on sale, get the EK 360mm AIO with better RGB fans and get at least the 850W model of that PSU for a 3080 system.
I'm looking at these two items now:
​
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MTQTNVR/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=A29Y8OP2GPR7PE&psc=1
​
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TN2RX2K/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A29Y8OP2GPR7PE&psc=1
​
After a gift card I have in my hands it'll cost me like 100 bucks. The heatsink since I'd rather just be as safe as possible.
​
I'm assuming this is a good choice.
https://www.walmart.com/ip/seort/744908020
$750
then you can add a sabrent 2tb nvme ssd for $170, and 2x 8 gb dd4 2400 sodimm ram for $60
https://www.walmart.com/ip/seort/744908020
this for $750. you can add a 2 tb nvme ssd down the line for $150-$200 and add 2x 8gb ddr4 sodimm ram for $60
I think that the Sabrent Rocket 2TB would be your best choice at the $200 price point.
Yes - NVMe drives do seem to work:

> media projects
I would caution against a QLC drive here.
For $10 more than the SN550, the Sabrent Rocket is a huge upgrade: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MTQTNVR
I'm using the Sabrent 2TB Rocket NVMe PCIe M.2 2280
It's on amazon for £229.99, with a full warranty. £227 seems a little high. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sabrent-Rocket-Internal-Performance-SB-ROCKET-2TB/dp/B07MTQTNVR/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=sabrent+2tb&qid=1619385715&sr=8-3

Only a few bucks more.
Here's what I got Sabrent Rocket 2TB
in case you are wondering i purchased this one - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MTQTNVR/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
This is one of my top SSD recommendations right now, it has a speed of 5,000 megabytes per second and a TBW of 900 for the 500GB model, 1800 for the 1TB:
https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16820009017
Samsung EVO is 600 TBW for the 1TB, 300 TBW for the 500GB.
Samsung PRO is 1200 TBW for the 1TB, 600 TBW for the 500GB.
The Sabrent Rocket (not the Q version), Corsair Force MP510, Inland Premium, and Patriot VPN100 all get 1,600 TBW for the 1 TB version, 800 TBW for the 500GB. These, along with the Samsung 970 get about 3,500 megabytes per second.
The Corsair Force MP600 and Sabrent Rocket 4.0 are identical to the Gigabyte model linked above, but cost more.
Though a touch costlier, it's better to have one large SSD than a faster one and a slower one, something like this has great endurance and speed, and costs slightly more than the other two combined:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MTQTNVR
The Seagate hard drive has a technology called SMR which I mentioned in my earlier comment, as a result it's much slower than other hard drives. If you use the SSD as your main drive, this won't be too bad though.
Paying extra for a white PSU is useless, the PSU is completely covered by a shroud in the case you chose.
For video editing, 32GB of RAM is not a bad idea.
The 5800x is the most readily available right now. It's available several times a day on Amazon. At least 3-4 times in the past 4 hours.
I ordered a Ryzen 5000 CPU a couple days back and the ETA was mid-January. Now the ETA is December 10th.

So Much This
Manufacturers hiding the slc cache numbers is just wrong. This drive is currently on Amazon for $270 for 2TB which is a phenomenal price, but I need to see some real benchmarks vs the 970 evo plus. The Samsung drive is $500 for the same capacity.
Thanks! How do those compare to a Sabrent Rocket NVMe PCIe m2.0 2280? I ask because this looked like a pretty good deal on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MTQTNVR/ref=ox_sc_mini_detail?ie=UTF8&smid=A29Y8OP2GPR7PE&th=1

It's quite a bit cheaper than this Samsung one: https://www.amazon.ca/Black-SN750-500GB-Internal-Gaming/dp/B07M9VXSXG/ref=sr_1_7?dchild=1&keywords=m.2%2Bssd%2Bpcie&qid=1603229584&s=electronics&sr=1-7&th=1
​
I'm not sure I quite understand what the differences might be between the two and why a person would choose the more expensive one.
I meant this Sabrent Rocket. This should have no issues on the back of a b550?
Either way these shouldn't affect the PCIe lanes for the graphics card right (3080)?
This is the way to go! I bought the Sabrent 2TB Rocket and it is fast. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MTQTNVR/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
How does this compare to the sabrent rocket? This one specifically: https://www.amazon.com/Sabrent-Rocket-Internal-Performance-SB-ROCKET-2TB/dp/B07MTQTNVR
If you're dead set on Intel and your budget can handle it I'd say go 10th gen as well. Or you could do something on the AMD side like a 3700X or even a 3900X which can be had around $400. However, at least right now, Intel still is the gaming king so if those few extra frames are super important then 10900K. Speaking of frames... I don't see a monitor listed. Are you looking for 4k, 1440p, 1080p? 60, 120, 144, 240 Hz refresh? That could affect what some might advise as well. For example at 1080p 120 Hz I doubt you'd be able to tell a difference in a sub $300 3700X and a $700 10900K with an RTX 3080 in a lot of games. I don't know for sure (no one really does yet), but I don't think a 3700X would bottleneck a 3080.
I'd bump to the 970 EVO+ for the small $10-ish price difference. If you ended up AMD I'd say go with a Gen4 NVMe drive, especially since the RTX 3080 may be able to handle loading direct from it to the GPU, so that extra Gen4 speed might actually come in handy at some point.
If it were me, I'd look for a platinum or titanium rated PSU though I understand that PSUs in general are a) more expensive than normal and b) harder to find right now thanks to global conditions.
Last thing I'd consider is the case. The C700P is a pretty big, pretty expensive case. I can only find the C700M available and it's $450+. There are a lot of cases with as many features, though not necessarily the look which I understand if that really speaks to you, for less than half the price. With that money saved even if you went with a $200 case (and there are some really nice $200 cases), you could nearly upgrade that Seagate 2 TB drive to a 2 TB Gen 3 NVMe drive. Have a 1 TB OS and super fast 2 TB storage. Though maybe you already have the case or are getting a great deal on it.
We don't Horse around here.

Yes, you can upgrade the SSD on this model but the RAM is soldered so you cannot change the RAM. Yes that SSD you linked is compatible with the RBS. However, this is a SATA type SSD which means that you will not get the full benefits that this port can transfer. NVMe is another protocol which allows sequential transfer speeds of up to 3500 MB/s depending on the drive you're using. If the WD Blue is as far as you could afford then okay. But if you're willing to spend a little bit more on an NVMe drive, it will make your experience slightly better due to faster speeds.\
You can clone your drive from the old one to a new one. However, I would actually recommend doing a clean Windows install as this would give you a fresh, out of the box feeling. I always do a clean install when swapping out the drive on my laptop. If you want to clone instead, I can link you a video on how to do just that.

For SSDs, you don't need to rock out with the likes of Samsung.
The Sabrent 2 TB NVMe SSDs are very well priced compared to the competition and they perform just as well: https://www.amazon.com/Sabrent-Rocket-Internal-Performance-SB-ROCKET-2TB/dp/B07MTQTNVR/
We've gotten to the point where these 2 TB NVMe SSDs are at the price point of prior M.2 SATA SSDs, like this 860 here and the WD Blue 2 TB M.2 SATA lineup.
Samsung has a steep price premium for their SSDs, and frankly I doubt they're worth it at that mark-up when such stiff competition exists.
Just some thoughts: the define s2 is a very roomy case, so you might find yourself with a lot of dead space unless you plan on doing a fancy water cooling loop later on. I would personally get a 2tb SSD instead of doing a 1tb hdd 1tb ssd. Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MTQTNVR?tag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=anandtech. Depends what you are planning on using all that storage for. If you have a lot of media: pictures, videos etc... then it probably actually makes more sense to get an enclosure for your HDD so that you will be able to swap it more easily between systems.
I think that for ram you should look into a kit like this:
https://www.newegg.com/g-skill-16gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820232880?Item=N82E16820232880
Costs the same as the kits that you have listed in your builds but it's 3600cl16 instead of 3200. I believe this should be micron rev E chips
Buying an extra air cooler for your CPU is largely unnecessary unless you plan on trying to do all-core overclocks on your chip. The stock cooler functions well enough and you can spend the $ either getting a x570 board for upgraded features for better compatibility down the line.
I'd drop the Aio and get a better SSD, look at
or
​
Also, it doesn't make much sense with your build to only have a 1080p monitor. A 2070 with a 2700x would be able to do 1440p 144hz pretty easily, plus, it seems like we can all agree you should wait a few weeks and get a ryzen 7 3700x, (and maybe even one of the new Navi cards, cheaper and a bit more power than the 2070.)
Dear lord, pull your head out of your ass. The Sabrent is a cheap, crappy drive. The Samsung doesn't even come in 4TB, but comparing the price for the 2TB Samsung PRO to the 2TB Sabrent, the Samsung is $100 more for the 2TB version. And guess which one is actually sold out? Nobody wants Sabrent's garbage:
https://www.amazon.com/Sabrent-Rocket-Internal-Performance-SB-ROCKET-2TB/dp/B07MTQTNVR
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08RK2SR23/ref=twister_B08JRH2KVB?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
The Samsung EVO is also a crappy drive. Better than some off brand garbage like Sabrent, but not by much.
To be honest with you, the 980 Pro is worse than the 970 Pro because the 970 Pro used MLC flash. Still, the 980 Pro is the best consumer drive on the market right now. It's debatable whether you can call the Seagate FireCuda SSD's Enterprise grade, but they're in between consumer grade and Enterprise drives. The 4TB has a 5600TB write endurance rating, and Seagate isn't going to screw around with their reputation by lying like some noname brand like Sabrent. I'd still go with Samsung though because they have more experience with NAND memory than Seagate at the moment.
>If sabrent lies and says the drive has 100000000PBW smart will report 100% health until it dies.
They can lie in their marketing while providing the correct information via SMART in order to avoid lawsuits relating to data loss. Lying in advertisement carries a much less serious penalty than doing that.
Never fear, PriceKnight is here!
