When it comes to SSD reviews there is no need to look anywhere else. Your work is the best Nada, thanks for what you do!

Thanks for all the SSD testing, it's hard to find good datasets across brands like this

Thank you for your reviews. I upgraded my motherboard after years and finally got an M.2 slot. Your videos helped me and I finally decided to get the Fury Renegade as it is about 40 dollars cheaper than the 990 Pro and 20 dollars cheaper than the SN850X. Thank you for the detailed reviews!

This channel is pretty underrated.
Your content is often relevant to me and is presented well with objective metrics along with suitable subjective opinion.
Appreciate the review!

Just crazy how much value for the money this ssd provides.
I got the 2TB model for the equivalent of 130 USD in Norway.

The price for hardware here is almost always atleast 25% higher and often more than that for hardware so I was impressed by the pricepoint.

I've installed two of these (one is 1TB and the other is 2TB) at the weekend, really great SSDs. Price was similar as the KC3000.

I want to add my voice to the chorus as this is now the channel I default to for SSD reviews and also watch your excellent GPU reviews. Concise, informative and lots of bar graphs, I love bar graphs. :D This is the SSD I ended up picking for my build as it was the only 4TB high end available and I am avoiding getting the 990 this time around. Glad I made the right choice.

I agree with the others. This channel has the best and most consistent testing of ssd/nvme on the internet. It is my go to for all things computer related.

Love the work on comparison and real world application. Clear and concise yet agin. Such great info for pc enthusiasts to use. Thank you

Got the 4tb model yesterday for 350€ after my 9 month old 2tb XLR8 CS3140, my first non-Samsung SSD, died. Pretty decent price for the performance and seems to work well. Better than my previous one in fact.

I use a KC 3000, I won't to buy another KC 3000 but now after this review I want a renegade.
Thanks you make a good job hear❤

Thanks for continuing to do these reviews as they're extremely helpful to see where everything stacks due to the wide variations that have been happening in price.

Would love to see Solidigm P44 Pro/SK Hynix P41 hit your test bench as they're both the same base SK Hynix controller/NAND.

What a lovely voice! Thanks for all the useful News! 🙂

We have been waiting for this review since months YOU.

[wjack]

Thanks very much for your knowledgeable no nonsense reviews. Highly appreciated!!!

[robertcochran]

Thank you for this review. I picked the SN850x for a system after watching some of your reviews. I know the Samsung 990 was near or at the top in your testing, but I did not want issues with the device being destroyed by bad firmware so I decided to avoid Samsung entirely. I will see how the SN850x drive holds up.

I got the 1TB version a few months ago and it's amazing.
Coming from an old system with hdd and sata ssd.
Now i need a 2 or 4TB one that maxes out the second, pcie 3.0 slot, voor weinig. :D

[aminoplaysgames]

Great informative review, earned a sub :)

[Greenalex]

Got my Fury Renegade 2TB in a prime deal for only 105€ a few months ago (instead of ~130€). Compared to the current 980pro (170€) and the 990pro (175€) prices its an amazing deal imo. Defo check ur local offers!

[RobBCactive]

Just installed one of these after seeing it priced reasonably around the time your review came out. I'd forgotten I watched this so I was glad I was under the influence of Tech Testers, as I remember I switched my initial choice seeing the listing.
