@@realmothbuterfli Well, since PCIe 6.0 was this month already in draft 0.7... www.anandtech.com/show/16704/pci-express-60-status-update-draft-071-coming-soon-final-release-by-end-of-year Real manufacturing and sales take a long time from ratification, but it sure looks like we're advancing way more quickly now than between versions 1, 2, 3, 4. I just hope GPU manufacturers this time actually implement the full specs and we don't get another "PCIe 4 has been out for years... let's implement resizable BAR like it's a grand new feature we are bestowing to people! Nevermind it was already in PCIe 3.0 specs."
?? How do you reduce the number of I/O controllers with bifurcation? a) If I have a "x8" PCIe slot and connect a PCIe adapter that has two, M.2 SSD slots then I still have one SSD controller per SSD. b) you said "hard drives" but I wasn't sure if you meant HDD's or SSD's... but if you mean HARD DRIVES then why exactly do you need bifurcation for this? If you want the full bandwidth of a PCIe slot to handle, say, EIGHT HDD's then buy a controller that has eight SATA connections. No need to bifurcate a "x8" connection into "x4x4" and run that way (plus you'd then be running TWO SATA controllers off of each "x4" lane for this to work in which case you've INCREASED the number of SATA controllers) c) PCIe v5.0 That is coming to desktop but I'd expect some motherboards to have it for the top M.2 SSD slot only, or just add more USB Type-C etc off of the chipset. Possibly add PCIe v5.0 to just the "x16" (graphics card) slot but probably not the entire board due to the engineering challenges that add cost to something almost nobody would benefit from.

Storing data sequentially is probably a bigger advantage the more bits you store per cell (MLC, TLC, QLC, PLC). Thus NVME 2 should help counteract the degradation in speed and longevity that comes with using Multi-level cells.
The background track playing is at such a level that and has a particular bass beat that I literally thought my downstairs neighbour had her music turned up again. Didn’t realise it was the background music until I tried turning up my tv louder to drown out the neighbour. #doh 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️😂😂😂
It would most likely be ad least a year until the first NVME2 enterprise grade devices are released so they will most likely get released around mid to late next year while consumer grade devices will most likely be released a bit later like a couple of months later for example! :)
Um… if the new “zones” are physically allocated, and so you use the same bit of SSD with specific software and you use the same software a lot, won’t you wear out those physical cells faster than the wear levelled areas which are spread all over the drive? Unless I’ve missed something this is a massive failure point. Imagine if MS Word’s temp files are all in the same physical areas all the time… those bad boys are being created and deleted constantly!
@@mastaw true, but then you still run the risk of wearing out huge chunks leading so a cascade failure situation which removes more and more from available capacity. I’m sure it’s been thought of but I’m interested to know more (or if I’ve fundamentally missed something). 😁
So does this new standard require motherboard support? CPU support? Or can you plug a NVMe 2.0 into any NVMe slot? Add to that. Does this require software support? Or does the OS just bunch all data from a program together automatically?
@@GojiHusky dude wtf do you even talk about. nvme 2.0 doesnt make the drives much faster, pcie 5.0 nvme still use the m key port, the m key port still has many unused pins that can be used for features, but these features here wont even slow the fully loaded drive down while being loaded in. and windows updates drivers for things beyond your understanding quite often on the fly, even on very old motherboards.
Modern SSDs don't need to be over-provisioned the same way as old ones did; incoming data is buffered into the onboard ram before writing to flash. Zoned namespaces should significantly reduce the load on the controller when sequential writes are being preformed concurrently (like on a server). This is the biggest advantage in my opinion.
I just learned I don't need a SATA SSD when I literally have a PCIe Mini and 2 half height slots, one of which is a Centrino 6205 being replaced by a 6300 cause I have a 3rd grey antenna to use and get tri-band internet instead of 2. And I found high class SSDs on eBay, apparently the half height mini SSD can go up to a whole terabyte, I got an MLC 512GB and a full height MLC 2TB-YES 2TB.
Soooo.... Since this zoning is software based, it basicly means I still have to enable overprovisioning for old programs and new programms need more space since they reserve their own working space. Or does Windows take care of it?
I hate to knitpick but the usb graphic in the beginning is missleading. Usb 3.0 is a revision of usb a. The micro one is actually micro b and the one labled micro b is micro b 3. Also mini is actually mini b and type c is more compareable to type a & b.
Yea I know this was coming to PC since consoles have it but I thought it’d be a software update, either in bios or with windows. These drives are going to be like $300-$400 or a 1TB watch.😤
Looks more like a firmware upgrade tho it almost looks like the drive may need to we wiped (removiing overprovisioning etc). I dont see any hardware requirements that current SSD would be incomppatible with. Unless they will require PCIe 5.0 but that seems unlikely if 500MB/s HDD's are included.
I've got a few questions Is this going to be like different versions of USB? Will it need new hardware to fully utilize the new standard or will it be a firmware update. Or a half way where mobo/cpu will support new 2.0 drives?
I am waiting for those to come down to 100-200 usd. Then they will be great for system and storage. But by then 4-8k resolution will need even more storage space 🤓
@@la7dfa Yeah, I am usually a few years behind in my video archive's resolution because of storage requirements, but after having updated to mostly FullHD, it's getting too expensive to and so I don't even have backups anymore :(
Oh its called over provisioning the traditional HDD needs to be defrag now it is called trimming in SSD or overprovisiining to save storage and for it to last long
I feel the same. NVM tech is so fast already and it's not like the read/write algorithms are inefficient either. To me, they should concentrate on making the read/writes less destructive to the NVM hardware. They last a while, but nothing like mechanical hard drives.
@@XLessThanZ That isn't really true anymore. And it depends HEAVILY on the size of the ssd relative to the data put on it. A 1TB ssd holding, say 100GB will be able to write those twice as many times as a 500GB ssd holding the same 100GB of data. It will also perform faster with more size. The tech works entirely differently. And ssds of 500gb or more now outlast sata drives.
@@armyofninjas9055 I'm still kinda sketchy about the life of NVMe/SSD. I have hundreds of SATA hard drives that have lasted 10 years and still going. I've never used SSD/NVMe that long, but mostly because I don't trust them the last that long. Could be though. Thanks for that heads up.
@@XLessThanZ The FUD is strong with you. Just like your engine doesn't blow through the hood when your warranty expires, nor does your SSD die when you hit its stated TBW values. TBW values (unless listed as ISO destruction) are the WARRANTY values the manufacturer sets. Your hard drive or the controller on the SSD itself will likely die LONG before the NAND hits its (actual) write endurance.
@@XLessThanZ I still have one intel 80gb ssd which i bought around 12 years ago and it was in frequent use for about half of the time.....quite well filled as it is system and data drive in one. (btw it did cost 200€...for 80gb....unbelievable by today’s standards). Another ssd in my desktop is 8 years old now, and still in regular use. So 10 years with normal use is absolutely no problem I would say.
I was using a Team Group SSD NVME 1700MB/s reading and 1400MB/s writing, so I changed to a Samsung SSD 980 3500MB/s reading and 3000MB/s writing and suddenly all my games started crashing my Pc, I thought maybe was the SSD so I changed for a PNY CS3030 running at the same speed and still crash my games. What might be the problem? everything is updated and I did a fresh Windows installation. Using an Asus Tuf gaming b450m-plus ii Windows shows a green screen with stop code critical process died.
I kind of feel like manufacturers should experiment with zoned namespaces to see if they're able to get that at least onto some of their current SSDs via a firmware update. Not sure if it'll work or if it's even an option. But regardless, NVMe 2.0 sounds like an absolute dream.
Anyone know a reliable VPN that isn't famous yet? My country blocks anything that's well known and I don't know if the small ones are reliable.( For Windows 10)
Let's hope the new ARM-Chips will support NVME 2.0 at least sometime soon - since the "trend" seems to go into "integrated Memory/Storage", it seems - which is really crappy considering upgrade-abilty, of course. *sigh*
Love it when newer advances help make older tech even better.

HDD reaching 500MB/s. This is the best news that was presented in this video. I am excited for that kind of performance. (:
That still begs the question of why NVMe. Sata is capable of that and won't waste nearly as many pcie lanes.
@@ikkuranus Good point. Are you able to fully saturate an nVme drive or two?
Thank you, Teacher James. Good man.
Techquickie is what I originally subscribed to LTT for.
Storing data sequentially is probably a bigger advantage the more bits you store per cell (MLC, TLC, QLC, PLC). Thus NVME 2 should help counteract the degradation in speed and longevity that comes with using Multi-level cells.
The background track playing is at such a level that and has a particular bass beat that I literally thought my downstairs neighbour had her music turned up again. Didn’t realise it was the background music until I tried turning up my tv louder to drown out the neighbour. #doh 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️😂😂😂
Great video with clear explanations between SATA and NVMe SSDs!
Can't wait for mobo's with a lot of NVME slots!! No more power & sata cables!!!
I'd love 2 m.2 nvme in my pc! A secondary m.2 would be great!
It would most likely be ad least a year until the first NVME2 enterprise grade devices are released so they will most likely get released around mid to late next year while consumer grade devices will most likely be released a bit later like a couple of months later for example! :)
WOW you mean tech is improving?! what a concept!
Um… if the new “zones” are physically allocated, and so you use the same bit of SSD with specific software and you use the same software a lot, won’t you wear out those physical cells faster than the wear levelled areas which are spread all over the drive? Unless I’ve missed something this is a massive failure point.
Imagine if MS Word’s temp files are all in the same physical areas all the time… those bad boys are being created and deleted constantly!
don't mind me just replying so I get notified when this gets answered
I'm guessing that the drives would still be able to move the zones around. The only limitation being that they have to be moved as a whole
I wanna follow this feed
That’s so obvious that I doubt they haven’t thought of that or accounted for it. Who knows how it fully works yet anyways
@@mastaw true, but then you still run the risk of wearing out huge chunks leading so a cascade failure situation which removes more and more from available capacity. I’m sure it’s been thought of but I’m interested to know more (or if I’ve fundamentally missed something). 😁
Faster, tho some faster ones can already be heard, the high freq whine
That's Linus.
@@AwkwardFistbump lol
Ketchikatchikatichicakitchaket.
But they are not spinning faster just more dense with better actuators.
I just love the way James doesn't wear LMG Merch like others.
Who says he doesn‘t wear LMG underwear?
@@sonpham3438 Let's Ask Him.
So does this new standard require motherboard support? CPU support? Or can you plug a NVMe 2.0 into any NVMe slot?
Add to that. Does this require software support? Or does the OS just bunch all data from a program together automatically?
Do we need new motherboards, and will there be a nvme2 port? Or is this purely a revision to the drives them selves?:)
NVMe attaches itself to PCIE so I think the revision suits to the SSD itself than to the motherboard.
As both will be using the same old PCIE
It would probably need a new mobo. Unless the NVMe port can somehow support a mega-driver update 😂
Mobo BIOS update.
@@GojiHusky dude wtf do you even talk about. nvme 2.0 doesnt make the drives much faster, pcie 5.0 nvme still use the m key port, the m key port still has many unused pins that can be used for features, but these features here wont even slow the fully loaded drive down while being loaded in. and windows updates drivers for things beyond your understanding quite often on the fly, even on very old motherboards.
Modern SSDs don't need to be over-provisioned the same way as old ones did; incoming data is buffered into the onboard ram before writing to flash. Zoned namespaces should significantly reduce the load on the controller when sequential writes are being preformed concurrently (like on a server). This is the biggest advantage in my opinion.
this background music is SO GROOVY GOT DAMN IM HAVING A PARTY WHILE LISTENING TO JAMES EXPLAIN HARDDRIVES TO ME
The moment reserved blocks for long, linear writes got mentioned... holy shit, those advertised speeds are actually gonna become relevant now!
A nice quick update, a quickie even.
Can’t wait for using nvme for running windows and using sata ssd for storage to be standard.
0:14 did he say " intel now " ? That was a good pun idea
I'm still hoping we'll have AFFORDABLE 16TB or larger consumer SSDs soon. Not likely but it would be great to replace my 220TB spindle array soon.
I just learned I don't need a SATA SSD when I literally have a PCIe Mini and 2 half height slots, one of which is a Centrino 6205 being replaced by a 6300 cause I have a 3rd grey antenna to use and get tri-band internet instead of 2. And I found high class SSDs on eBay, apparently the half height mini SSD can go up to a whole terabyte, I got an MLC 512GB and a full height MLC 2TB-YES 2TB.
i got a linus tech tips ad and i was so confused i taught it was part of the video
Great! Very informative!
shout out to these guys for going above and beyond for the thumbnail O=b
This was really informative, thank you
Soooo.... Since this zoning is software based, it basicly means I still have to enable overprovisioning for old programs and new programms need more space since they reserve their own working space.
Or does Windows take care of it?
I really hope that nvme 2.0 standard will be backward compatible
Any news about when will first SSDs with NVMe 2.0 support be released?
im excited HDDs will become more expensive than SSDs due to the advances for Hard drive tech
Great video!
then there will be only one ram slots in future?
No support for floppy disks? They are also great at sequential reads...
Does SATA even support floppy? I think those died off with IDE/PATA
Good one 🤣🤣🤣
Omg it's happening
Gonna be able to run several partitions on a single SSD in raid 0
thanks for the helpful info
'enterprise' level HDDs already operate on 12 Gb/sec SAS3 tho, they aren't limited by SATA3 like entry level SSDs are
I hate to knitpick but the usb graphic in the beginning is missleading. Usb 3.0 is a revision of usb a. The micro one is actually micro b and the one labled micro b is micro b 3. Also mini is actually mini b and type c is more compareable to type a & b.
Nice to see the handheld remote is MIA. 👍
I didn't mind it at all. It changes nothing, and who cares? :)
That black SSD matched with the skin tone. Nice.
I really liked the editing and performance in this video, it felt retro in a comforting way.
So NVME 2.0 is a physical change like a new component, or is it a firmware update?
Yea I know this was coming to PC since consoles have it but I thought it’d be a software update, either in bios or with windows. These drives are going to be like $300-$400 or a 1TB watch.😤
Looks more like a firmware upgrade tho it almost looks like the drive may need to we wiped (removiing overprovisioning etc). I dont see any hardware requirements that current SSD would be incomppatible with. Unless they will require PCIe 5.0 but that seems unlikely if 500MB/s HDD's are included.
@@Raivo_K You still need overprovisioning even with zones. But you need a lot less of it.
That T-shirt should be making color calibrations easier for the editor
😂
I've got a few questions
Is this going to be like different versions of USB? Will it need new hardware to fully utilize the new standard or will it be a firmware update. Or a half way where mobo/cpu will support new 2.0 drives?
When is ddr5 rams coming out?
will current ssds get this? like 980 pro or 970 evo
Make a updated video on how to make a steam Epic cache server please
They should bring back the 5.25" HDD with like 200TB of storage.
Would have bigger latency but thats okay in certain applications
But prices have been stalling for years! We finally need affordable 8TB+ SSDs!
Ya for my steam library
@@chillnspace777 I'll bet you're one of those "27 minutes of play" on every game guys. My 1tb is plenty for steam.
Already a couple of decently priced 8tb ssd's exist
I am waiting for those to come down to 100-200 usd. Then they will be great for system and storage. But by then 4-8k resolution will need even more storage space 🤓
@@la7dfa Yeah, I am usually a few years behind in my video archive's resolution because of storage requirements, but after having updated to mostly FullHD, it's getting too expensive to and so I don't even have backups anymore :(
I was just learning how to make a loading screen for a application
do we on PC have anything like the PS5's NVME compression and decompression chip? any news on that?
Wow this is great. Might be enough to get me to replace my trusty crucial p2.
I still use hard drives
Oh its called over provisioning the traditional HDD needs to be defrag now it is called trimming in SSD or overprovisiining to save storage and for it to last long
Maybe then the next regular Raspberry Pi can get a built-in NVMe1 socket as an option?
It's the equivalent of defragmenting, but for SSDs.
I got a ltt add before the video for pulsewave
A requests for a futere episode! what's the cracking noise a pc makes sometimes!?
This video is so true, My wallet can’t even catch up to the price tags nowadays.
current nvme ssds are so fast already. but I guess a next gen one would be better in the long run.
I feel the same. NVM tech is so fast already and it's not like the read/write algorithms are inefficient either. To me, they should concentrate on making the read/writes less destructive to the NVM hardware. They last a while, but nothing like mechanical hard drives.
@@XLessThanZ That isn't really true anymore. And it depends HEAVILY on the size of the ssd relative to the data put on it. A 1TB ssd holding, say 100GB will be able to write those twice as many times as a 500GB ssd holding the same 100GB of data. It will also perform faster with more size. The tech works entirely differently. And ssds of 500gb or more now outlast sata drives.
@@armyofninjas9055 I'm still kinda sketchy about the life of NVMe/SSD. I have hundreds of SATA hard drives that have lasted 10 years and still going. I've never used SSD/NVMe that long, but mostly because I don't trust them the last that long. Could be though. Thanks for that heads up.
@@XLessThanZ The FUD is strong with you. Just like your engine doesn't blow through the hood when your warranty expires, nor does your SSD die when you hit its stated TBW values.
TBW values (unless listed as ISO destruction) are the WARRANTY values the manufacturer sets.
Your hard drive or the controller on the SSD itself will likely die LONG before the NAND hits its (actual) write endurance.
@@XLessThanZ I still have one intel 80gb ssd which i bought around 12 years ago and it was in frequent use for about half of the time.....quite well filled as it is system and data drive in one. (btw it did cost 200€...for 80gb....unbelievable by today’s standards).
Another ssd in my desktop is 8 years old now, and still in regular use. So 10 years with normal use is absolutely no problem I would say.
Will you need a new mobo for this? Or could it just be enabled after a bios update?
No need for any new hardware, it's basically just a moderate latency and lifespan upgrade compared to NVMe 1.0
Zoned Name Spacing: Defrag is baaaaaack!!
That logo on your shirt looks very similar to the logo of a Malayalam language TV channel named Flowers TV.
I was using a Team Group SSD NVME 1700MB/s reading and 1400MB/s writing, so I changed to a Samsung SSD 980 3500MB/s reading and 3000MB/s writing and suddenly all my games started crashing my Pc, I thought maybe was the SSD so I changed for a PNY CS3030 running at the same speed and still crash my games. What might be the problem? everything is updated and I did a fresh Windows installation. Using an Asus Tuf gaming b450m-plus ii Windows shows a green screen with stop code critical process died.
any love for the battery....
When will it come out?
How bout that Dune trailer James?
Zoned Namespaces for the future!
I kind of feel like manufacturers should experiment with zoned namespaces to see if they're able to get that at least onto some of their current SSDs via a firmware update. Not sure if it'll work or if it's even an option. But regardless, NVMe 2.0 sounds like an absolute dream.
What happened with 3D data storage (Hyper CD-ROM)?
Did I just get an ad starring Linus before this video?
Anyone know a reliable VPN that isn't famous yet? My country blocks anything that's well known and I don't know if the small ones are reliable.( For Windows 10)
you can try pay crypto for some swiss host and run wireguard on it
The moment of mental discord when you're watching an lmg video and get a pulseway ad with linus in it
Let's hope the new ARM-Chips will support NVME 2.0 at least sometime soon - since the "trend" seems to go into "integrated Memory/Storage", it seems - which is really crappy considering upgrade-abilty, of course. *sigh*
