TBW at 1TB is 600, Speed Read 7,000 Write 5,300 Single Sided with good efficency in speed, (Read or write) TBW at 2TB is 3,600, Speed Read 5,000 Write 4,400ĭual sided (though 530 are faster but interms of durablity, these are the best drive and will not lose any performance even they are 3/4 full)Ģ) Segate Firecuda 530 (need good heatsink it runs hot at full load, may cause throttling if above 68 degrees)
Work drives (heavy 3D compliation, video editing, photo editing, UI & UX)ġ) Seagate Firecuda 520 ( My all time favourite even it's slower than Firecuda 530 or to the WD SN850)Īble to sustain speed even when disk is 3/4 full After testing numerous of nvmeS, these are my go to nvmeS which I have split into two categories of usage. Additional test are conducted for cheap alternative 24/7 SaaS setup instead of using U.2. my usage 1) OS Drive 2) Progy Drive 3) Cache Drive 4) Temporary storagage before moving them to cloud.
I have to make things clear, these drives are based on my own opinion at work (compliation, rendering and etc). my go to Gen 4 (PCI-E 4.0) nvme drives are as follow.
