The Power PC Thread [f*ck off consoles]

So.... in my mind, 990>980>970? That the case? All 2tb all pretty much the same price?

Or am I missing something?

If your motherboard supports PCIe Gen 4.0 then go for the 980 Pro or the 990 Pro (the 970 Evo Plus is on Gen 3).

That said, you probably won't find much of a big difference in performance between any of them unless you are doing a lot of specialised or regular sequential reads/writes. The random access performance can often be close to negligible (a few percent at most) for a lot of workloads and for gaming.

Aye if you can utilise it then the 990 Pro is the one to go for

The 980 is a bit cursed in the fact that if you buy one you get one that's sound or you get one that kills itself within a month. There's no inbetween with them🤣

990 Pro 2TB in my PC, super fast, definitely worth if you've got a gen 4 slot for it.
I only paid £120 for mine at the end of last year though, SSD prices seem to have shot up.

Thank you, so just added it to my part picker, says its OK. Will do the 990 pro.

One other thing I know everyone said wasn't necessary but still not sure on another 250gb separate storage just for the OS.... in my head it makes sense that if I ever have OS issues and have to reinstall, to have it separate to my apps makes it a no brainer.

What am I missing?

Couldn't you just do the same with a partition?
Even then, personally I'd want my OS on the fastest drive I've got, makes everything snappier, then a slower drive for stuff like games that don't have long load times anyway or other large files.

Crucial drives are a good alternative, I’ve got a P5 Plus and a P3 Plus.

That's right.

However I think the 990 can have reliability issues
