Solstice380 Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 General question about Samsung M.2 drives for those who might have information about the difference between the 970 EVO (MLC NAND) and 970 EVO+ (V-NAND). Is it the speed, reliability, lifetime, or...? Thanks! I have an i9-9900KS arriving early next week. I’ll be using the ROG RTX2080 that’s in my current build. I’ll be hitting the closest Micro Center to fill out my parts list soon. https://audiophilestyle.com/profile/21384-solstice380/?tab=field_core_pfield_3 Link to comment

I had seen that the read/write was faster on +, but had read elsewhere that they were using 2 different layer structures - but not according to this chart. Your red highlight is an important point I did not know! Thanks again! https://audiophilestyle.com/profile/21384-solstice380/?tab=field_core_pfield_3 Link to comment

I’ve been using the PRO SSDs but the M.2 PRO is just a bigger $ jump than the SSDs were. The M.2 EVO+ is listed to be faster, but I wonder about the longevity. The mobo I’m considering has a M.2 heatsink and I’m not going fanless. How is everyone’s M.2 temperature doing? Anybody need/have an add-on cooler? https://audiophilestyle.com/profile/21384-solstice380/?tab=field_core_pfield_3 Link to comment
Solstice380 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 @elan120 Not ready to piece together LPS for everything so will stick with a Seasonic Titanium 850W or 1000W as it may get another PCI-e card eventually. With the highest efficiency for those at ~50% load this should be good. Will use a Noctua CPU cooler this time instead of liquid cooling. The case I’m looking at (HTPC type) won’t fit the radiator. It will have 3 - 120mm filtered fans for positive pressure and there is room for another if needed. https://audiophilestyle.com/profile/21384-solstice380/?tab=field_core_pfield_3 Link to comment
