  > Here are a few things to note: The 256GB, 512GB, and 2TB SKUs are also on sale using this code. The bottom three SKUs have the same $/GB while the 2TB has a premium ($404.99). The product page can be found here. Uses the Phison E12 with Toshiba's 64L 3D TLC NAND, like many other drives: Corsair MP510, MyDigitalSSD BPX Pro, Addlink S70, and Seagate BarraCuda/FireCuda 510. The warranty DOES NOT stand up with other drives in this category, it seems. As high warrantied TBW is a selling point of E12 drives, this is a disappointment; I suggest anyone interested in this drive contact Sabrent for clarification. Due to the previous two points, this drive would mostly fit the "Prosumer & Consumer" workstation category: fast sequentials, quad-core controller for heavier workloads and higher IOPS, basically a budget 970 EVO 11 | 22. I don't necessarily think this is a good deal on any particular SKU/capacity, but it's worth posting so the information is out there for those making decisions. There are a lot of these drives now.

Any real difference between these two? https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07MTQTNVR/ref=sspa_mw_detail_3?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A29Y8OP2GPR7PE

Its a beast, but save yourself some money by getting a Sabrent Rocket ssd like this https://www.amazon.com/Sabrent-Rocket-Internal-Performance-SB-ROCKET-2TB/dp/B07MTQTNVR/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=sabrent+rocket+2tb&qid=1573348793&sr=8-3

Samsung ssds are just so ridiculously overpriced.

2TB drive is a new low price as well, $259.99, it was $299.99 the last month or two, and something like $349 before that.

A lot of the 2 TB nvme SSDs are sub-250 on Amazon aside from the Samsung ones. I have a Sabrent Rocket 1TB which I believe is pretty top end.

First you shouldn’t buy that SSD. All it is is an adapter put on a NVME m.2 SSD. Instead buy each part separately and save ~$100

2TB SSD

Adapter

And no that housing won’t work for the Apple SSD you would need this

There are definitely many options for SSD available, my recommendation would be to go for a 970 evo for your 500GB-1TB SSD that you want to guarantee speed on, then do a 2TB Sabrent Rocket (Gen 3) as it is the best price per performance as far as I know and its only problem got solved with some software (previously it couldnt clone 512e, only 4k, in case you wanted to copy over any existing drives you have). For my PC personally, as I just want to use it for gaming, light work, and on/off streaming/video editing purposes, I went with a Seagate Firecuda 510 2TB, as it outperformed the 970 pro or was very competitive with it in all areas for a much, much lower price point (I got mine for $360 on newegg).

As for the mobo, the Taichi chipset overheating was actually just due to the case being used. Your case is a good one, so this shouldn't be a concern at all. Another Taichi issue is possible loud fan, but that is just a possible problem with the base Bios I believe, so as soon as you update that problem goes away. The taichi is regarded as the best board at your price point by respected motherboard expert buildzoid. I'd highly recommend skipping to 18:22 for relevant info, but hey if you have time and want to learn more then go for it. For my PC, I went with the ASUS Crosshair VIII Hero at $360, which was probably overkill but I havent had any complaints with it and it did excellent for me on memory overclocking. I don't think you can go wrong with the Taichi, it has all the features you want and is a great $300 board provided you have a good case.

I know you didnt ask lol but heres how your case's thermals stack up courtesy of gamersnexus: https://www.gamersnexus.net/images/media/2019/cases/h710/nzxt-h710-cpu_all.png

Its middle of the pack at stock which is more than serviceable, definitely not a concern.

Oh and just in case you were curious this is the full build I went with :)

Oh! And a money saving tip: Google shopping/express/whatever they're currently calling it typically has a very good first purchase/sign up/whatever bonus going, could be very worth seeing if a couple parts are available on it so you can knock 15 or 25 bucks off (forgot what the limit was, but they'll advertise it as a %, with an amount limit obviously), all the little savings here and there can add up. Supposedly right now it is 25% off your first order, unsure on the limit. I used it to get a webcam, a couple case fans, and a cd/dvd drive.

e: For some reason this guy has the Rocket as "sambrent" rocket lol, but its a decent video showing some different SSD options and their performance.

Holiday sales are always a temporary price dip; what you'll see in the next month or two is that averages prices will hit those holiday sale prices, and the new temporary sale prices will be lower still.

A good recent example is the Phison E12 based Inland Premium 1TB NVMe M.2 for $99 at Micro Center.

Came out of nowhere several months ago as an update to their previous Inland Professional series, landed at ~$140 and has been dropping steadily ever since. Performs extremely well and is one of the best bang/buck ratios for an NVMe M.2 drive right now. Sabrent has their Rocket series 2TB NVMe M.2 drive priced down to near $260, and they'll continue to drop. Intel's 660p can currently be purchased for less than $200 on Amazon as well, if performance isn't as much of a concern.

Sabrent Rocket can also be had for under 300, Camel^3 says its all time low

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MTQTNVR

same controller etc as MP510 I believe

OP, this is a very bad idea. Stick with a large battery, and upgrade your actual NVME SSD.

2TB is popular now for under $300 USD (I got this one and it works great) but there is also 4TB as well.

Guys, THE DEAL IS STILL GOING ON IF YOU MISSED IT. I just saw the amazon listing go through another lightning sale for $118.99 for the drive. Sold out on maybe ~10 mins.

Keep a lookout! Personally I opted for this 2TB Sabrent drive since I think it's a better deal @ 219.99.

Amazon has matched it now: https://www.amazon.com/HP-EX950-Internal-5MS23AA-ABC/dp/B07MZFJ8FH?th=1#customerReviews

Still deciding between this and the Sabrent Rocket (not sale price): https://www.amazon.com/Sabrent-Rocket-Internal-Performance-SB-ROCKET-2TB/dp/B07MTQTNVR/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8

Are you confirm my board will work 100% ?

with this NVMe Sabrenthttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MTQTNVR/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=A29Y8OP2GPR7PE&psc=1

Thanks! How do those compare to a Sabrent Rocket NVMe PCIe m2.0 2280? I ask because this looked like a pretty good deal on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MTQTNVR/ref=ox_sc_mini_detail?ie=UTF8&smid=A29Y8OP2GPR7PE&th=1

Ram looks fine, and you have an NVME storage (m.2 yes, but it handles WAAAAAY faster stuff!)

OK, the differences in SSD and NVME are huge, SSD: 500MB/s vs NVME 3,000MB/s

That said, both of the drives you linked are SSD, one just happnes to fit in an NVME slot, and both will be perfectly fine for general use. Here is a sabrent NVME for a little ($50) more than your m.2 choice.


The stock wireless is a 1x1 Intel AC3165, I suggest upgrading to an AC8260.

The 8260 is essentially the enterprise-grade dual channel version of the stock one, that trades off WiVi for more business-oriented features like 802.11v, and better connectivity.

The above wireless choices are just what I went with, and it has worked flawlessly across windows and Linux equally, so I recommend them on a purely personal level.

Best NVME for OS/Applications? Thinking of this - Sabrent 2TB Rocket NVMe PCIe M.2 2280

Just some thoughts: the define s2 is a very roomy case, so you might find yourself with a lot of dead space unless you plan on doing a fancy water cooling loop later on. I would personally get a 2tb SSD instead of doing a 1tb hdd 1tb ssd. Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MTQTNVR?tag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=anandtech. Depends what you are planning on using all that storage for. If you have a lot of media: pictures, videos etc... then it probably actually makes more sense to get an enclosure for your HDD so that you will be able to swap it more easily between systems.


I think that for ram you should look into a kit like this:
https://www.newegg.com/g-skill-16gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820232880?Item=N82E16820232880


Costs the same as the kits that you have listed in your builds but it's 3600cl16 instead of 3200. I believe this should be micron rev E chips


Buying an extra air cooler for your CPU is largely unnecessary unless you plan on trying to do all-core overclocks on your chip. The stock cooler functions well enough and you can spend the $ either getting a x570 board for upgraded features for better compatibility down the line.

I would suggest a couple of changes:

Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 3200MHz (2x16GB)

Sabrent Rocket 2TB

FYI, the 2TB version of the NVMe are as follows:
Not historically the lowest, but somewhat more affordable

I actually just upgraded from my old HDD to a 2TB Sabrent Rocket SSD with a clean install of Win10 a little over a month ago so I should be good there.

I actually hadn't considered the possibility that my RAM could be an issue. I just assumed "Eh, I have 16GB of RAM, so it'll be fine." Should I look into upgrading my RAM? Really, that's not a huge deal to me if it will give me significant improvements since RAM tends to be one of the less expensive components in a build.

I only find 1TB crucial for 100$ on amazon, your mobo has two M2 slot but the second one is smaller and not accepting 2280.

https://www.amazon.com/Crucial-1TB-NAND-NVMe-PCIe/dp/B07J2Q4SWZ

​

the sabrent 2tb is listed at 220$ on amazon:

Not a fan of hdd:s. They are too loud and annoying. I just have two ssd's totalling 1500 gb.

They are:

1tb - Seagate 1 TB BarraCuda SSD 2.5 Inch SATA 3D NAND Internal Solid State Drive

And a - crucial mx500 at 500gb

Both are extremely fast. Find them yourself and add them.

Remove both your ssd and hdd, for both of these easy to install, silent ssd's that perform at high speeds. Of 560mbs compared to your 400mbs ssd's.

Also since you do have an x570 motherboard you can go for a PCIE4 SSD. Which operate at INSANE level of 5 gigabytes per second. Which is 10x faster than the ssd's available.
I got you the USA link, its not on pc part picker.

So either choose the any 2 of these 3.
