Samsung SM951 NVMe vs 950 Pro

>>56064161
Are they both NVMe?

I have two 951's in RAID 0 and I'm happy

you must be retarded to even consider buying SM951

cutting corners on bleeding edge tech, ridiculous

go big or go home

just get 850 pros, wipe them out and raid em

besides the intel 750 is vastly superior when used as a cache or scratch disk, although taking a pcie slot

"I'll get the most recent tech at the cheapest price and it's all the same. It's all marketing after all and I have my sources."

Samsung 950 Pro vs Samsung SM951 Thermal Comparison

If you put even the smallest of airflow over either of the drives, they don't really have thermal issues. Even the passive flow from being beneath an occupied GPU slot is enough to keep them at decent temps.

is SM961 even out yet

check the price droop in any case

Intel maintains their prices 'cause they're in another league

the 850 pros are really good, the rest is experimental or in development to say the least. nothing wrong with that but the variance between generations show, which indicate massive backend twerking

>>56064161
why is 951 slower than 950

what kind of fucking retarded naming system is that, samsung

>>56064686

thermal throttling

>>56064434
A single 950 will smoke the shit out of an 850 pro raid

NVMe/PCIe >>>>>>>>>>> AHCI/SATA

>>56064707
what if your case has non-shit ventilation?

>>56064709

no doubt let's have a dick size contest while we're at it

cooling and essentially a heatsink, e.g:

Enzotech BMR-C1-LE Memory Ramsink (Black)

some mobos have the slot at differents spots, the heat can be mitigated implying you're not using on a hardcore industrial level

would be interesting to have a legit crater in your mobo

You don't even need fancy heatsinks or anything, just put a fan close to it and it will be fine.
