I don't think it's an overstatement to say that Intel introduced us to the era of modern SSDs back in 2008 with the X25-M. It wasn't the first SSD on the market, but it was the first drive that delivered the aspects we now take for granted: high, consistent and reliable performance. Many SSDs in the early days focused solely on sequential performance as that was a common performance metric for hard drives, but Intel understood that the key to better user performance wasn't the maximum throughput, but the small random IOs that take unbearably long to complete on HDDs. Thanks to Intel's early understanding of real world workloads and implementing the knowledge to a well designed product, it took several years before others were able to fully catch up with the X25-M.
What is better Ryzen or Intel? Choosing a processor for a PC can be a daunting task, especially if you're new to computing.
The Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus is an enthusiast-grade high-performance, super-fast storage solution that comes in multiple capacities. Offering speeds of up to 7,000 MB/s read and 6,860 MB/s write, there is no denying that it has some serious speed to offer.

Nice, I've been think about building a computer. Now sounds like a good time to start.
I remember building my first PC. Ah the good old days of Diablo 2 and Counter Strike.
I know that ssds in general are expensive (these PCIe ones in particular), but the performance gains from them are blowing everything out of the water right now.
2.4 GB/s is just stupid fast. An entire TB transferred in minutes.
This and the Samsung SM951 pcie ssds are just in another league of performance, albeit different metrics.
Wow, gigabytes/second, now that's a huge progres,also has a life span of five years calculated at 70gb of data cycled per day, more if you don't cycle 70 gb of data per day, also 5 year waranty.
