Lots of useful information. Thanks for the reviews!

I know you don't like to "recommend" purchases, but it would be interesting to me (and probably others) who don't own any SSD drives, what would be the best enclosure for the price considering heat issues, etc. and with that which of the SSDs in the video would be the best match to yield the "best complete value" according to current "standards." Thanks for your informative videos!

Can you make a video on which SSDs has the best lifespan?

I just ordered 2 of the Lexar 790, 4TB ones to put in my DIMM.2 module on my X570 Crosshair, to supplement the 3 2TB 980 Pros in the other 3 slots.

Funny how prices have gone up in the past year not down. I really should have bought a drive back Well at least drives are still relatively cheap from say 3-5 years ago.

7 months later, I'm still sitting on the fence.
I went with some SATA ssd 3.5 drives instead which I already had new, after watching real world comparison videos. The leap in speed was great from platter to SSD, but not so great from SSD to NVME. I turned out to be right, because once your computer is booted, most everything you load is a random small file here and there, and you're not going to notice a speed difference between SATA and NVME... at all. Even a big multi gigabyte sized game might only shave you off a second or two in load time. To be honest, that's probably where you will see your biggest gains, as a game drive.

I've compared my SATA SSD write speed in video editing to a RAM drive and there is next to no difference... maybe 1s speed gain in a 3 minute video render. Even so, I still use the RAM drive just to cut down on the wear and tear on my SSDs. I put all my money into RAM instead and don't regret it. Having 128gb and a RAM drive that dynamically can grow to any size you want is great (I think what I'm using is called IMdisk).

Thanks for the video. Can you recommend an external enclosure to support a 4TB NVM.E for Thunderbolt 4?

[J.Wick.]

I bought a couple of the Fanxiangs on Prime Day. An S102 SSD, and an S880 NVME. Both have been great so far. Great speeds.

Would you recommend a QLC drive for a system drive? Got a Lexar NM610 Pro 1TB this week for just $30. I suspect it's a QLC drive.

[AndyJMacLeod]

Cost is only one issue. Thermal performance is also a consideration for some uses, including for mini PCs. Just ordered a 4TB Crucial T500 for that reason...

[noyangoksu]

Thank you but this can be a whole lot more useful if you dug into SLC cache, dram vs. dramless etc. Transferring large data is painfully slow with some models once cache buffer is full.

[lorensims]

Thanks for doing the shopping for us!
I'll soon be looking for a physically small, large-capacity external drive for my M1 MacBook Air. 
I'm curious about the I/O speeds the Thunderbolt 4/USB C port can handle.
I'll check your earlier videos. I'm sure you've already covered this.

Holey shnikeys. The Lexar 790 is 260 today, 1/18/25, which means the price went up significantly. Actually all prices are up for all options. Have we reached Moor’s law in reverse? Or will there be a correction/reversal?

[mattduncan]

oh i def thought you were gonna test the speeds of these

[michaelsteinhart]

It is a good list, but need to include the TBW and buffer to determine value.

[ArcAiN]

meanwhile, i bought a 4tb SSD and a 4tb NVMe both from "silicon power" and they work really really well... way better than i thought they would... they also cost me about $150 each, which is 3x cheaper than the first drive you talked about.

[bryans]

All of my storage and Time Machine drives are SSDs now, a couple based on your recommendations, except the 4TB enterprise platter drive I'm using for backup of all my computers. I'm still using it because I already had it in an external powered enclosure, and it seemed a shame to waste it (READ: I'm cheap).

[samfrazier]

Just looked up the Lexar NM790 4TB on Amazon from the link and it's $285 now. Looks like the lowest it's been in 120 days is closer to $250. You sure about the $199 price?

[jalogrono]

Looked at the WD and Samsung prices. Crucial it is.

[mqcapps]

Price per terabyte is interesting but how much you can afford based on your use case and budget is the deal. I've use a few of these and the speed range ratings mean that you need to think about what you need. Have some WD Green M.2 installed on family PCs and you can't tell the speed difference against a 980 pro for gaming without bench-marking BUT I think about warranty service and how long will it last as TBW doesn't mean much to me UNTIL I'm down to 90% of drive used - been there. And folks...it will happen.
