Gen5x4 NVMe SSD for "Deal" AMD 7700X combo.

[hagjohn]

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.

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.

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.

Thanks. I'll look at getting a WD Black.

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.

 

Regards,

Aryeh Goretsky

Thanks. I purchased a WD Black. This is a gaming build, so speed of each component was the biggest thing was looking for.

PCIe Gen5 Drives are Here! Are they Worth It?

I'm going to keep checking the pricing and eventually get one. 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

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.

Very nice! Have fun
