SSD Inquiry - Enquiries - 12-08-2022
Hello,
I am setting up a new PC and I only have the graphics card and SSD’s left to buy. I am a little stuck on which SSD to buy for my needs. I am looking for quality gaming and also highly productive multi-tasking/streaming. Here is my setup (so far):
Motherboard: ROG CROSSHAIRS VIII DARK HERO
Processor: AMD RYZEN 9 5950X 4.9GHZ
Memory: G.SKILL TRIDENT Z NEO 64GB 4000MHZ [64GB (32X2)]
Graphics Card: NVIDIA RTX 3080 10GB OR RADEON RX6950XT 16GB (undecided)
Cooling: MSI MAG CORELIQUID C240
Power Supply: 850W Gold Power Supply
I have been looking at some SSD such as: WD SN850, WD Black SN850X, & the WD Back SN770. Do you think I should pick two of these SSD or maybe pick one of these & a SSD (SATA)/ HD? Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
Have a great day, Quentin

We tested SN850X and it turns out the best for a gaming environment. Other SSD during long-term use did not seem to sustain the performance.
I hope this helps.
