This SSD’s been with me for ages, never crashed Windows, no BSOD, ran BF6 beta perfectly with no stutters or texture bugs… only thing is boot’s getting a bit slower think it’s time to retire it... and the health been steadily dropping ~1% every 2-3 months...

Avg temp: 39°C idle, min 36°C with AC on, 55°C under load...

I don't know which NVMe to buy, I have already some in mind and I'm only going for 1TB max and no QLC SSD like Crucial P3..

KC3000 DRAM, SN7100, SN850X DRAM, NM790, and maybe another SX8200 Pro Gen3

I was initially gonna buy the SN850X, but then two of my friends both have SN850X 1TB as their boot drive, and they also ran BF6 beta on it.. they get texture disappearing bugs.. the game crashes, and sometimes BSOD during BF6 beta.

I don’t really care much about Gen4 speed but honestly I can't find decent Gen3 cheaper than Gen4 so might as well go Gen4.

thanks, I shouldve checked the hardware section first. i think I’m gonna get the kc3000. only thing I've heard about it is that it can run really hot I even saw on another forum that someone's kc3000s got fried from overheating and it melted the heat spreader sticker. kinda scary

If budget can consider any of the reputable brands.
Else go for reliable Samsung 980 or Crucial 1TB.
