Which SSD are you using right now? 👇🤔
Kingston and samsung
I’m using a 512GB 970 Pro (600TBW). Funny, it has 2x better TBW, than the 980 Pro (300TBW).
Samsung PNY, Intel (Failed), Crucial X3
Anything with a DRAM buffer.
970 evo plus 1TB. Still a beast.
Thanks for filling in the gap on TH-cam for creator PC building. These reviews are golden!
I was actually looking at the T-Foce NVMe SSD just yesterday as an extra drive for when I retire my aging iMac and switch to windows full time. Thanks for the info on longevity. I'm pretty sure I'll pick up the 440 given it's very likely to outlive almost any other drive. Super useful info! Much respect.
👍😇
Just in time before a new build, thank you!
😉👍
@@theTechNotice Thanks for this great video, it's indeed something I haven't payed attention to before!
As someone who uses its PC for quite a few things I am unsure what way to go, maybe you have an idea?
On one side it's for rendering (AE, maybe Cinema4D and Unreal Engine in the future) files with ~10-100GB, I am leaning toward a PCIE 4.0 SSD with 1 or 2TB. I tend to delete most files after uploading or sending them and therefore don't use too much of that space, maybe 300GB. Programs like Unreal Engine might benefit from having the archieve on a 4.0 or 3.0 as well I believe, so maybe 900GB, including potential cache folders.
The current selected mainboard (ASUS ROG STRIX B550-F Gaming) supports 2 of them, so I would use a PCIE 3.0 SSD for both, the OS and gaming with 2TB.
The archieve would be older "normal" SSDs.Does that make sense or is the 4.0 not fully utilized here?
As the PCIE 4.0 seem almost double the speed of PCIE (which can't always be utilisied as far as I understood) I was wondering how much gaming would benefit from being on the PCIE 4.0 as well?
Yeah, I'd go for 1 ssd for the OS and other for the project/cache/other drive.
And regards gaming pcie 3 vs 4 no difference really.
Brilliant - that is hands down the best video I've seen on a proper setup. Great work...
I've been using SSDs for OS/office softwares/gaming since 2005 (Adata/Crucial/Plextor/Intel/Samsung) and they still run without any problems. I am looking for a 1TB M.2 SSD for my gaming laptop right now and it's good to learn from your video.
After watching a lot of videos regarding pc components in last 2 weeks I found out that your videos are edited the best. I know its not as important factor as actual content but I really appreciate your crisp audio since you have a lavalier attached the soft background music to create a cool vibe and the nice soft warm light and probably grading. The content is also on par with everything else keep up the good work
Thanks for such a nice comment! ;)
I totally agree! (new Sub)
how digestible content is is really important too!!
2 reasons why your videos are solid. 1 - you put things in perspective for people who edit; 2 - you are about the only "normal" review channel that has a solid soundtrack that makes use of my subwoofer!
And hes not about gaming. Filling in that creator spot.
Finally someone that points out something that I have been telling other people. but there are a few points that are left out. latency that some drives offer, eg optane and over provisioning. most drives slow down alot when they are near the 80% capacity mark. how the drives does TRIM and use TBW also depends on the remaining space. doing OP of 10-15% extends the life ALOT. and U.2 SSD drives are not covered.
Thanks for adding detail. What is doing OP 10%-15%?
I have Intel Optane as temp file
As my OS drive died now (12 year old plextor M5S) currently looking at Team SSD. Feel so good to fully enjoy durable SSD till its end 😅
@@vitatreat9037 I have a couple of 4TB drives on my nas that serves as hot cache or hot data drives. My cache drive I set at 25% OP but my hot data drives are at 15% OP. I do about 200GB a day
@@vitatreat9037 over provisioning. 10% OP means formatting a 4TB drive as a 3.6TB or less.
You're highly underrated, thanks for putting so much effort into your videos and keep up the good work :)
Wow! This is extremely new information! I have not heard about this in any of the 20 TH-cam channels I have surfed. Now I know what SSD to purchase! Thank you so much, Tech Notice!
You're most welcome!
Woah didn't knew any of that😯Thanks Lauri for the great info 🥰 really appreciate it 👏😊❤️
You're most welcome!
Firstly, a very big THANK, to you, sir, for your excellent and most reliable help and great insights for the important fact to be taken seriously in consideration before purchasing SSD´s for our new computer build! Wishing you all the best and I am now a new subscriber and of course giving you all thumbs up! Please keep on helping us with your very good and fine facts and insights when it comes to computing! Best regards from Sweden!
thanks for the SUB! :)
This was brilliant!
Man I love these Creator focused videos.
Just getting started for my new build and this has been very informative, thanks - subbed! ;)
Thats very informative!
Thank you so much!
if your cache requirement is not very big, consider using RAM drive, which is faster than even the fastest ssd and has no write limit.
what does that mean? can you explain further?
Learned a lot. Thanks 😊
Very well produced. Surprised at your sub count, your content seems very well made and I hope you see more and more success, I'll see you at 10mil
Nice review again, I have been using Segate Firecuda 520 and the TBW is insane too.
👍
This reallynhelp me a lot!!
Thank you!!
Great tips and explanations!
Thank you so much tech notice! I didinnt know this before, im building a pc right now and it helps me alot to choose the right SSD
Very good. Going to use what I have. Thanks.
It's one of the most important video on SSDs... Thank you
Great explanation starting at 3:30 I really learned something!
Much thanks I didn't know that such good options existed.
Awesome video! I ended im getting the SK Hynix P31 2tb. Its a gen3 nvme but it suits my needs enough
Thanks for this material as I am on the starting line to upgrade my workhorse. I would buy other products, but after this - I will start looking for those factors as well.
THANK YOU! I found this a VERY informative vid. You've a great way of explaining things in easy language. I've never used SSDs before but I thought I knew most everything I needed to know about them. I'm looking to make my 1st 'supercomputer' for vid editing somewhere in the next 6 months. I didn't know about the TB-writtren spec and how it worked. I'd have just gone for the 'default' Samsung 980/990 but will now look deeper into it when crunch time comes. For archive I have some tasty WD Gold and Ultrastar 18TB & 20TB HDDs which I'm very comfortable with for long term storage. I've had WD Gold drives for decades and they've never let me down. I have backups coming out of my ears so never a problem with lost files. Thanks again for this new insight into SSDs - cheers from Sydney Australia - SUBSCRIBED!!
thank you so much. i had been watching many TH-cam videos about ssd’s. no one explained ssd in this matter.
thanks for the tips! brings a whole new light into searching nvme ssd specs or any ssds
😉
Did not know this. Thanks for the education. 2 time PC builder.
thanks for this informative video, you rocking!
You're most welcome!
Thanks for your valuable information😃👍
I own a 1TB FireCuda 520 and it was certainly it's longevity that drove the decision
Actually, if we talked about performance the most important spec, is random read and write. I know you set the "best" performance metric to be longevity of the drive, but don't forget the random read and write speed as that is what determines the responsiveness or latency of the drive :)
great point. I was going to see if he covered gaming but he didn't. Considering most hd/ssd mfg's have 5 to 10 year warranties and data recovery is much easier (if that happens) for me im looking for the speed. Longevity does play a role but what is the application. Like tires. Michelin Sport cup 2r will barely last 6,000 miles but they are the best handling tire in the world compared to and economy tire with harder compound which will last you 70k miles but very low handling/grip. For me, its what they application is. For me i like the speed with decent longevity and a great warranty in the product.
It's these fkrs holding us back.
u mean iops rating?
I think the TBW is overstressed in this video as most users won't reach the limit even in 20 years. Excessive game players mostly read the drive and don't write much to it, video editors would need to create a lot of videos every single day to write several hundreds of GB every day. For most other applications like office or image editing with rather single digit GB written as average per day (if at all) an SSD will probably last 100 years in terms of TBW. So agree, IOPS can become more important as most applications read/write rather many small files instead of a single big one.
@@qwicxs Your comment feels out of place. Software usually isn't designed to fully utilized the faster ssds. Just look at the ps5 trailers if you think ssd speeds don't matter.
Nice Tutorio , thanks for sharing ~
what a freakin amazing video!
i got Firecuda 530 1TB for my PS5!
thank you sir!
For my OS/APPS drive I stick to a Samsung PRO 1TB and I over-provision 10%. There overall longevity and reliability is key just because its a drag setting up your system all over again. And for my active-data drive I stripe two cheaper SSD's (EVO) in RAID0, to get the best performance-to-price result. Data is stored on my Synology NAS with RAID6 and directly connected at 10GBe.
Best content ever. Thanks
Wow really good video. I didn't know about this, I will definitely make this my most important factor for purchasing pcie drives
I bought 2, Sabrent rocket nvme's. 1 is a 1 terrabyte the second is a 2 terrabyte version. These are the blue version.tlc's. Loaded on a asus rog strix b550 f board. With the 5900x the speed is epic for doing music recording and producing.
Thanks for the information. I've been looking for a Gen 4 NVME.
love you for teaching us with such useful informations💗💓💖
excellent explanation👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great content, this is probably what i needed now, as a creator tbh the software that I used often are probably not going to fully utilize the 7000 speed, that's why Im gonna pick the z440, also 7000 speed ssd are drawn more power and generate more heat anyway, also the price range is quite big between the two above, the z440 is 1/4 cheaper in my area
Spot on!
Good stuff! I need a 4tb ssd for my project drive because I also use that drive for Dropbox and have a lot of B-Roll I like to pull off of that. I use 4k footage and a lot of b-roll. I have a 1TB Sabrent Rocket 4.0 as a scratch disk. Would I be just as good using a Sabrent Rocket m.2 3.0 (TBW 5800) over the Firecuda 530 (TBW 5100) for my project disk?? I don't want to spend an extra $250 if I won't notice any performance increase.
Puget systems recommends that the scratch disk be as fast as possible, but the project disk can be slower (at least a 2.5 inch SSD.) Thanks!
Well presented, and therefore shared.
Best explanation !
Hey! Huge fan of the channel- my favorite channel by far for learning about custom PC building as a first time builder (life long Mac user)... so... I'm planning on using WD SN570 for OS/apps and Firecuda 520 for projects. Is there a huge benefit to having a third drive for Cache/ files? Is it necessary? I've always just Cache my premiere pro folders onto the same drive as project. Upside/ downside? Thanks!
thank you sir!
very informative, im exactly looking for what m.2 to get
In enjoy listening to your videos. Great channel. What are the cache files you talk about and how can they be redirected to a separate ssd?
Thanks for the great video!!! A question sir: I'm looking for an SSD M.2 with the largest cache, which one do you recommend?
Other videos covering the 530 show this drive as the throughput leader for sustained writes. Headline specs is not real world. Do a 500gb write on any drive vs this 530 and it will loose. Scans channel did a torture test transferring off a 980 pro. The 980 Pro was the bottleneck when it overheated. Very telling how good this drive is. 530 also use 176 layer nand vs others using 96 layer. Its a monster. Seagate 530 2tb got my money. Great content.
Great review. Can you gonna do a video with the firecuda’s and others with 8k video scrubbing and complex post effects? raid0?
Great video!!
Glad you enjoyed it
It's probably overkill but I bought the firecuda 530 1tb for my ps5 a couple of weeks ago as it got knocked down in price. I heard it will serve me well in the long run in terms of endurance
the way you present sometimes sounds cocky but the information you deliver is massively useful and top notch of all the tech channel i've seen before, big kudos! worth subscribing! i wish to hit like button 100 times but youtube only allows 1!
Aww, thanks dude! 😊
Great video
One question remains: Can you trust the specs of the manufacturer?They could write anything. How do we know this is true?
For the video: Perfect explanation, really & best time around black friday for this video 👍 I really enjoy watching your content 🤓👍
There are only so many manufactures of NAND flash chips, and also only so many manufacturers of controller chips, so many of these companies end up producing drives using similar or same components with similar specs. A lot of the drives (such as the Teamgroup Cardea C440 mentioned in this video) with marathon level endurance of 1800TBW per TB tend to use the Phison E16 controller along with 96 layer TLC NAND flash.
i like those new lights you got behind you looks sick ;D
Thanks, yeah I like them as well lots of cool effects you can do with them ;)
This is funny how different brands building SSDs using the same components making claims of ridiculously different TBW!
Seagate with its Firecuda 530 is no exception - controller Phison 5018-E18 along with 176-layer Micron memory is very common SSD PCIe4 combination nowadays. Dozens of brands sell exactly the same SSDs (including Cardea Zero Z440, Kingston KC3000, etc).
The only dfference is the BS numbers sold to consumers under those brands.
The number of TBW is nothing but the memory endurance indication and the promise made by manufacturers to consider an RMA if things go South. And here comes to play the marketing game who makes the bolder assumption that an average consumer is not going to reach the dangerous wear level within the warranty period.
The brand of SSD is irrelevant to the actual memory wear-out/endurance. E.g. 176L Micron is NOT going to be more durable under Seagate label than the same memory under Crucial label.
Now look at TBW numbers for exactly the same memory claimed by Crucial vs Seagate vs T-Force:
1TB Crucial P5+ = 600 TBW - (I suppose you know that Crucial belongs to Micron and they know their own memory endurance exactly)
1TB Seagate 530 = 1275 TBW
1TB Cardea Zero Z440 = 1800 TBW
...
I am not sure how TBW can be the "most important" parameter if it is simply made up by marketing departments...
Technically, you can make the same capacity drive made with the same memory have a higher endurance if you over-provision it more (add more memory modules but make them show lower capacity). That is commonly done with enterprise drives, though I doubt that that is the case here; it is more likely to be just a marketing trick, just as you said.
This is the most useful comment in here. Now I'm thinking the same applies to speed. I guess it's possible that two drives with identical memory and controller are rated at different speeds and yet perform exactly the same.
I have 2x WD SN850. Bought them before the Seagate came out. But I bought a NAS you recommended and I am really happy with it.
👍😉
I disagree that TBW is the most important specification. Firstly because not many people will rewrte 33% of their capacity every day for drives of 500GB or more, for anything other than Chia mining (if you are mining chia then it is an important thing), and if you are, you will probably want to replace the drive for something faster long before yor rated TBW limit is reached. Secondly, the drives don't just magically stop working after the TBW limit is reached, just their warranty expires, and the probability of drive faliure increases with use. Hence, I would rather go with someone who I believe will actually honor their warranty (heard about it being a complicated process in caseof Seagate) than the TBW number they decide to slap on. I would not use some cheap ramless ssd as a boot drive on anything else than reviving an old laptop (like that Kingston A400, WD green, Crucial BX, or cheap Aliexpress drives), and also QLC as a boot drive seems like a bad idea as performance tanks suddenly after you fill your cache. Basically anything other seems like a good enough option that you will not see much difference, especially if it is NVME
At our studio (Blender, Photoshop, ZBrush, Substance), TBW is absolutely the most important specification. We upgraded 27 workstations with Samsung 970 Pros just a little over 2 years ago and half of our drives are already over or are nearly at their TBW limits. Everything Tech Notice says on the video is true for our use case.
@@skeletr Absolutely, but you are using them in a professional environment, in a specific use case that 99% of people are not using. Even if you were a TH-camr that uses the same software as you are now using you would not use the drives that much. For your use case it maybe makes sense to look into using enterprise-grade high endurance write-intensive drives with at least 1DWPD (data written per day to entire disk capacity), possibly more, or higher capacity intel optane drives, but again, for 99% of the people most common ssd-s have more endurance than they will need for the entire lifetime of their computers.
@@skeletr At a studio, ofc you want the highest spec stuff possible. But normal users will never come close to their TBW max in more than 10 years... Only the really heavy users and they know what drives they need
Yeah, my intel 665p has had about 6tb writen to it, in 10 months. It has an endurance of 300tb. so at that rate it will last about 40years.
@@skeletr Like you Leonardo M, I also work at a studio that uses things like the Adobe Suite, Blender, Maya, Nuke etc. I'm a vfx artist...and I consider myself a "normal" user. I've had to go remote (like many people in the VFX industry) in the last couple of years, and the amount of data I push thru my own system is completely insane...double the amount I would have if I was still in-office. And with everything from game development, indie filmmaking, friggin virtual production (mandalorian-style)...hell, even metaverse developers soon...bringing their work to their home desktop computers, the usage will exponentially grow. At some point, we will definitely need higher TBW's. Now definintely gamers and everyday users can ignore this spec sure...but I would say there's still plenty of people out there that need to know about this.
Hey there, GREAT video - thanks for sharing. Quick question that I hope
you can help with....Just bought a 2021 Acer Nitro 5 AN517-54-77KG
Gaming Laptop (Intel Core i7-11800H, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050Ti, 17.3"
FHD 144Hz IPS Display, 16GB DDR4, 1TB NVMe SSD, Killer Wi-Fi 6) and have
the ability to expand either to a 2.5 SSD or HDD. Which would you
recommend is better for overall performance and streaming? I'm torn
between adding another SSD, HDD or upgrading the NVMe SSD and adding
another SSD/HDD.....so confused to which. Please help???
I think this is one of the most honest review I've seen in a while
:)
Hey, i was about to buy a Gigabyte Aorus Gen4 7000s, do you think it's a good purchase overall, or should i go for the Firecuda 530 instead?
That was really informative, thank you very much. I am getting a 980PRO 500gb for OS and some random pcie 3 one with 2TB for storage.
Just a quick remark: When having a bit more of budget compared to the firecuda drive and if the TBW is important: get a look at the intel datacenter drives (both NVME and U.2 drives): lifespan of those is in the petabytes. I personally own a "regular" SSD (not NVME but SATAIII) from intel: D3 S4510 which has an endurance of more than 10Petabytes if I am not mistaken). I would need to check the values for the NVME drives, but they are really worth a check. They are not as flashy as the prosumer drives, but they have plenty of things onboard to protect your data from loss (e.g. prevent corruption on sudden power loss, which can be important when you transfer very big files). Same applies for Samsung, Crucial, Western Digital and Micron SSD/NVME drives)
It isn't going to be 5 years before I want new tech drives.
The Team Group SSD is the same TBW as the FireCuda 520. But the FireCuda 520 has been out for close to 2 years. FireCuda's are super sweet as they even come with 3 year data recovery on top of all the other goodness. Good to see another major player giving WD/Samsung a run at the top end.
👍
Enter PNY LX Ssd
Just picked up a 520!
wym "3 yr data recov ?
Can you please do a video on storage workflow and the different specs you should look for. I didn't understand the purpose of a separate cache and project drive.
really enjoyed your video's gg
I have one of the first Samsung SSD's, it's the 840 Pro series and it's a 250GB capacity drive, I have set a 10% over provisioning, I am using it today for 9+ years and I've written 80TB written on the drive and the wear leveling count is now 76%... I think this might be interesting for people who are scared to get errors or other problems, take this from my experience you don't have to be scared at all and you'll have a new pc before you have to get a new drive.
Depends on use case. I destroyed a WD blue sata ssd used for cache acceleration in my nas with triple cam 4K video editing (because I foolishly selected an inappropriate drive), took three months to rebuild the corrupted raid as a result.
yes if your task most of the time is office and games
@@mbahmarijan789 yes of course for normal use, however I can safely say that I'm a power user so I have been using my ssd a bit harder than you'd normally see for office and games.
I have no idea how you've only written 80tb in total to the drive lol. My boot drive has over 200tbw over just the past 2 or 3 years and I'm just a gamer lol.
@@WyattOShea Ow that's pretty easy to explain, I only have my operating system running on my SSD and everything else such as documents, music, games etc I all have on separate drives. On a 256GB SSD there's only enough space to have the OS with the program files of all the software that I use regularly together and that's about it what I can use that drive for and that's okay because those files are the ones that I need most and fast access to to keep my system running smoothly forever without doing too much removing old files, I do that after a major OS update to keep the drive clean.
I'm very glad that I saw this video before buying SSDs.
I've started ordering parts for a new build,I haven't done one in about 7 years now so things have changed a bit..in fact my last build I didn't even go ssd because they were still fairly new ish ...so I'm going from hdd straight to hard drives that look like ram sticks...we've come a long way pretty fast... thinking about the WD sn770 1tb for a main C drive...and may still use hhd for additional storage for a while.
Have you had a chance to look at TEAMGROUP T-Create Classic? Just ordered the 2TB stick and curious if you've tried it and if so, what your impressions are?
Hi, Thank you for the video. I have a question, do you think if the motherboard has its heatsink for an ssd, should I use that one or get the ssd with the heatsink built?
Just in time phew..... thanks alot ....
Hi Thank you for the information on SSD tech. I wanna go for an SSD for secondary storage can yiu pls suggest me if it is better to buy NVMe SSD or external SSD.
Great video. Just a suggestion. Include IOPS in your next NVME review.
love your explanation. Although I didn't hear any mention of DRAM cache etc.
don't forget the wear levelling function which prevents the sane address location from being written to frequently.
You have to make a video where you tell us what the best PC configuration for a content creator would be for you.
If we had 5 or 6 ssd's, would you install the Adobe programs, for example, on the same disk of the OS?
And where would you have the projects hosted? On the same drive as the programs or on a separate drive?
It would be great.
I love your videos. Thanks.
Endurance ratings are as much marketing tools as they are indicators of likely longevity. Think car warrantees! In the U.S. a common car warranty is 5 years, 60, 000 miles (~96,600 km). In neither case is the warrantee a reliable indicator of likely product lifespan. It is, instead, a guess by the manufacturer. --- How many more people will buy our product if we offer xx percent more warrantee and how much more will it cost us to cover the additional warrantee claims?
More than DWPW claims, I pay attention to company reputation, anecdotal evidence of reliability and design features (I scrupulously avoid QLC and tend to avoid cacheless). Then, I do what I can to extend the life of my SSD. ... I run "TRIM" regularly. I give heat an exit point. I format at most 90 percent of each drive - to reduce write amplification. I avoid leaving static data on working drives. (Hard drives are tailor made for storing static or infrequently accessed data-they are slow but cheap and data last figuratively forever in a powered down drive.).
one should also consider the direct nand write speeds its the speed when the slc cache fills up
Seagate Firecuda 530 4tb is a really good buy. Highly recommended. The 5.1PB write rating is pretty decent
Pretty decent to say the least 😉
@@theTechNotice I just brought one for my ps5 a month ago, so far, so good.
Very odd that I knew everything and was following most of the tips in this video without ever learning about them. Last year I added a separate cache drive, some program benefit vastly and some not as much.
I also learned the more RAM you give to some programs the more they will use BUT they will work flawlessly with no extreme amounts of RAM as well. I now have the room to keep multiple tabs open for reading information, multiple programs open while working on projects that require input from multiple sources. I am thinking about turning a small part of the RAM into a cache drive as well.
That said I also learned a few new things, I am putting off new workstation build till ddr5 becomes mainstream but this information will still be relevant.
Unused RAM is already used as filesystem cache though.
so, which one looses the most performance when getting hot? Need some testing, they all look good on paper.
Combination since it’s a hybrid build. I have some Adata x8200 pro, a 960 evo as a boot drive and then 1 WD Sn850 for video use in Resolve.
Awesome! :)
As someone who also does some gamining, do you recommend getting a 2TB m.2 instead of two 1TB m.2s and then creating two 1TB partitions?
Are there downsides?
great video, thanks enlightening me on the terabytes written. My question is when you say you can read/write up to 33% of a typical SSD per day for 5 years...does that mean I can upload/delete say 300GB of videos on a 1TB drive that is already half full? So like I have it filled with 500GB of videos and I add 300GB more so the drive is at 800GB then I delete the 300GB of video so its back to half full. Is this ok? Or does it only work when the drive is not half full like it goes from 0GB to 300GB and then back to 0GB.
TN..Thank you for your videos, I'm learning a lot from you,...but I'm not sure if these SSD's you're referring to, work for MAC as well as PC.
Can you direct me or simplify that question's reply.
Thank you!
Would love a SSD guide for the best IOPS drives since small files is an intricate part of my workflow and I'm constantly reading and writing small files all the time.
Buy a cheap optane p1600x. It's literally made for that and it's iops for reading and writing are about 4x higher than the 990 pro (100k vs 25k read) which is still the best nand drive for that by a good 10ish%. It's expensive for the capacity ~$30/$60 for only 58/118gb but it is in a league of its own in performance so it costs that much for a reason. Also endurance and reliability are great too, the ~120gb version has equal endurance to my 2tb wd sn850x and it has a much longer avg time to failure and it has about 10x less errors. Oh and seeing it's an SLC drive it'll perform the exact same no matter the capacity full., it doesn't even need a dram cache.
Would it be an improvement utilizing seagate firecuda 530 for a external 4K video editing on a MacBook Pro?
the Total Bytes Written is the thing that drew me to Seagate.. i currently use the 970Pro in my laptops for OS drive and as my backup external enclosure. Big reason is that it's a MLC and not TLC.
Great info, BUT how do I know when my SSD is almost “used up” and needs to be replaced?
