hagjohn Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 (edited) So I bought the Grab this insane AMD Ryzen 7700X AM5 X670E, 32GB DDR5 combo for just $500 before it's gone and I need to fill it out. Anyone know where I can find a Gen5x4 NVMe SSD? I see that they are pretty new (and expensive), so I may be out of luck for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellowalkman Reporter Posted March 16, 2023 Reporter Share Posted March 16, 2023 Yeah PCIe 5.0 SSDs are almost non-existent at the moment. Good for future proofing though. I know it shows great potential in DirectStorage https://www.neowin.net/news/forspoken-on-pcie-50-nvme-hints-at-the-true-power-of-microsoft-directstorage-on-windows-11/, bad sadly, yes you are out of luck! There are a lot of great PCIe 4.0 deals though, stuff like the WD_Black, Samsung, or Crucial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindovermaster Moderator Posted March 16, 2023 Moderator Share Posted March 16, 2023 Yeah, save on the PCIe 5 for awhile. They aren't very popular right now, as only a few systems support them. Wait like a year. Wait till its more streamlined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hagjohn Posted March 17, 2023 Author Share Posted March 17, 2023 Thanks. I'll look at getting a WD Black. Mindovermaster 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goretsky Supervisor Posted March 17, 2023 Supervisor Share Posted March 17, 2023 Hello, Micro Center's house-brand Inland has a PCIe 5.0 ×4 NVMe SSD: Inland TD510 2TB M.2 2280 NVMe SSD Although availability seems limited right now. Other brands with PCIe 5.0 ×4 NVMe SSDs include: CFD Gaming - PG5NFZ 2TB M.2 CSSD-M2M2TPG5NFZ Gigabyte - AORUS 2TB Gen5 10000 SSD Apacer (and their sub-brand Zadak), Corsair and Patriot Memory also have all shown PCIe 5.0 ×4 NVMe SSDs, but I do not think they have product listings up yet on their websites.

hellowalkman Reporter Posted March 18, 2023 Reporter Share Posted March 18, 2023 i am not sure if you have already made your purchase, but the Crucial P5 plus 2tb model looks like a solid buy ATM. Its just $123 https://www.neowin.net/deals/looking-for-nvme-you-shouldnt-miss-the-crucial-p5-plus-ssd-deal-samsung-980-pro-drops-too/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a gaming build, so speed of each component was the biggest thing was looking for. hellowalkman and Sikh 1 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes you have spend a little to get a lot. Prices usually go down after a lot of manufacturers are making it. Not just Crucial. But like assuming what you said, you have to weigh potential with money hagjohn 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hagjohn Posted March 25, 2023 Author Share Posted March 25, 2023 It is up and dirty. It seems to be running smooth at the moment with 35C with the sides off. I have not updated the motherboard firmware yet though. The halo fans are working (but no color) and I have to clean up my wiring, but I have windows 11 installed and updated. Wireless card is working and I'm picking up Wi-Fi. I have not tried Bluetooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
