Crucial P3 Plus 4TB PCIe 3.0, 3D NAND, NVMe, M.2 SSD, up to 5000MB/s - CT4000P3PSSD8

Product Information

standard, are now supported with Intel and AMD's current platforms, the Zen 4 Ryzen 7000 and 13th-Gen Raptor Lake. While these things tend to be relatively mysterious black boxes, we do at least know that Aries has a claimed doubling of IOPS performance versus SK Hynix's old Cepheues chip, along with one-third faster IO speeds. Samsung Magician software's user-friendly suite of optimisation tools always gets you the best SSD performance. All components and firmware are produced in-house, including Samsung's world-renowned DRAM and NAND, for integrated start-to-finish quality you can trust.

Phison has since made special firmware for DirectStorage, which requires this fast and reliable flash. You get both more space for your games as well as faster performance and lower power to help eke out a little bit more battery life. Choosing the right SSD for your server is important since server SSDs are optimized to perform at a predictable latency level while client (desktop/laptop) SSDs are not.We do recommend a heatsink for heavier workloads, which can be added yourself if you don’t fancy the Gaming model of Inland’s line or need a 4TB option.

SSDs still offer plenty of speed for bulk storage, these offerings make a great value alternative if you need voluminous storage for pictures, videos and files that aren't in need of leading-edge response times. It comes in at 75MB/s read and 291MB/s, which is in the mix with some of the faster Gen4 and first-wave Gen5 drives we've tested. The Rocket 4 Plus has a powerful controller and newer flash, but there are some downsides from pushing the capacity envelope: it has lower power efficiency and weaker all-around performance than some of its lower-capacity peers. DDR4 3600MHz 16GBx2 (PC4-25600 Overclock), OS - Windows 10 Pro 64bit, Chipset - ASRock-X570 Taichi* To maximize the performance of the 990 PRO, please check whether your system supports PCIe 4. Consider that a high-end, AAA game can use more than 100GB of data, and Windows 11 all by itself may need 60GB.If you're copying a game from one drive to another or validating game files in Steam, faster NVMe drives make a difference. It uses the same hardware as other prominent drives like the Rocket 4 Plus and includes an excellent warranty. To find the best SSDs for gaming and productivity, we test dozens of drives each year and highlight the best ones here. The WD_Black SN770 bucks this trend and, like its predecessor, the SN750, is aimed at offering better value for money than outright performance.

It does lack the DRAM of the 670p, and it’s still QLC-based, so we don’t recommend it at lower capacities.

Before you open your wallet, be sure to prepare for this drive: it requires a heatsink to reach its highest levels of performance. You'd be hard-pushed to tell the difference between this drive and much faster offerings in most day-to-day operations.

If you have a spare Gen4 slot in your machine, and you are desperate for more game storage space, I highly recommend you look to the Lexar NM790 to fill that slot. That is ideal for workstation tasks, and Inland’s drives are cheaper than competitor offerings while maintaining a decent warranty. The AHCI (Advanced Host Controller Interface) command protocol was designed for much slower media (i.
