    The high performance ones can end up throttling under heavy load

      But do people really need the high performance ones? Or is that just marketing doing it’s job convincing people that double the read/write speed will actually improve their system?

      Or is this not really for gamers (most PCs in build) but for workstations? Open to learn

        People doing stuff like video work benefit from the high speeds, people just doing gaming can probably avoid the top tier of storage

        The speed difference is very noticeable. I went from a pretty nice drive to a P41 and after loading all of my junk on startup the difference is very noticeable.

        Plus cheaper drives tend to struggle REALLY bad with writes past like 2 gigs. I’ve had drives that struggle and perform worse than a sata SSD.

          Interesting vid regardless, thank you! It seems that cooling them too much isn’t recommended. I can see the practical use case when copying huge files often, though

            Yeah, maybe if you have a server with a few of them and they are being heavily utilized.
