SKIP Gen 5 NVME, BUY THESE Instead! 👉 BEST SSDs for Creators 2024

So did the WD Black NvMe SN850X have a recall or something ? I see they are not on your list.

Good comparison! You left out the Adata Legend 960 which has a whopping 3.6GB consistan write till the drive is full. Appreciate the video A question did you use an active cooling for rhe drives ? Did you watch out for throttling during the tests?

without the price to compare, this is pointless. Some of these are 80% more expencive for 5% gain.

Great video! :D By the way I noticed you were watching Kevin Hart at 1:38 lol

Based on your recommendation I tried the p44 pro, very fast Os drive indeed. I always use 990s but this is cheaper and performs better. Thanks for the hard work and testing. Love the channel!

What about crucial t500... Looks to be one of the best if not the best gen4?

This was a fairly comprehensive roundup, and it went well with your other SSD vids (e.g. organizing your SSD workflow). You also explain things very well for your audience as well. Thumbs up here. Of course, though, like others I'd point out a few missing/key comparables: XPG's S70 Blade, WD's SN850X, and Crucial's T500. Being Europe-based isn't an excuse; Holland-based Techtesters, too, uses PCMark benchmarking and always finds such drives. And... I imagine you could have found some imaginative way to eat the cost after this video given how low NAND prices have been until now... birthday presents, giveaways, geeky 'fuzzy dice' for a rearview mirror, use for external enclosures, NAS drive ;-)

Great video. Thanks for the heatsink bit.

Great info again. Thanks, you explain things very clearly.

Hey man! I am looking to change up my case from a open air Prixis but I have a 560 rad. Do you have a good case suggestion that could fit it?

The problem with heatsink drives is when you upgrade it makes it harder to put them into an usb enclosure, which is also where dram matters as no hmb.

not any crucial nvme on your list , what do u think about the t500 ?

Yea, I agree, skipping gen 5 PCIE NVME drives seem like a reasonable choice, since they get hot, use more energy while only the sustained read/writes are improoved, and as long as they are more expensive I see no worth in buying them over other gen M.2 NVME SSDs or even Sata drives, BC in my normal use, Random read/write performance is way more important and the SSDs being silent and low in powerconsumption with a Dram cache, rather than with a heatsink with a fan on it and it being Expensive. If they put out Gen 5 PCIE 2x NVME SSDs and make them cheaper, than I might be interested, since so they use less PCIE lanes, and get the same speed as Gen 4 x4 PCIE NVME M.2 Drives (then).

I've had constant successes with multiple WD Black series SSD M.2's. I have a 128gn drive thats 6 years old and its still plugging away.

Hey Tech Notice, I've been watching your videos (and BenGKaiser) for quite a while, and I have been editing video for a few years. I primarily use Premiere Pro, but I'm looking to make to major changes in 2024. I want to both A) Switch to Davinci Resolve B) Swith to Linux Would you be able to make a video (or series) talking about the experience of editing using Davinci Resolve on linux with Nvidia, AMD and Intel cards? I currently have an RTX 3060 and I'm waiting for Battlemage to drop later this year. I want to see what would be a good option to edit with on linux between the three GPU manufacturers. Also, to see the difference between laptops with radeon graphics, intel xe graphics, and a laptop nvidia gpu, would be such valuable knowledge to have. Again, on linux with Davinci resolve. If you ever get around to doing this, it would be a massive help, as I'm hoping to buy a new laptop later this year, and possibly a new GPU as well. Thanks for making your videos and keep up the great work!

Good morning. Thanks for this- very informative and very insightful. I want to ask two questions though- now that the iPhone 15 Pro Max is significantly changing the landscape of video recording and filmmaking, the one metric I wish I saw here were temperatures. I am in need of an NVMe SSD which can remain cool, passively, while being written to continuously for periods up to an hour without becoming too hot. Can you tell us if you remember from your testing, which drive ran the coolest of the lot? Secondly, why no Western Digital drives were in your tests? Thank you and I eagerly anticipate your response.

Can you test any laptop with the new intel core ultra vs something like the MacBook m1 pro 16 inch? They usually come close in price for new conditions. And I'm also wondering what premiere pro and battery life compares now with the new chip

Thanks. Still have gen3 and 4 here.

Hi. Is it sufficient to use B660 motherboard with I5 13500? (My budget is around that)

Awesome video! Helped me take my WD Black goggles off. 😂 What are your thoughts on the Inland Performance Plus drives? Worthwhile or avoid?
