Today I will be reviewing the GIGABYTE AORUS NVMe Gen4 SSD 500GB! I got this for a business PC I’ve been building for one of my customers. I’ve gotten stuff from GIGABYTE before. I managed to grab this for $89 which I believe is a really good price for what you are getting.

First of all, I love the beautiful pink metallic finish on it. It pops out compared to all of the other dully colored hardware inside the PC. This might be a pro for some people like me but it might not be so great for others who want a monotone inside so think about that before purchasing. From all of the use and time I’ve spent with this hard drive, I must say I have 0 complaints! It’s built super well and is definitely worth your money. It was also super easy to install with in-the-box instructions.

Now for the most important part, the specs. This beast includes a huge 5000 MB/s sequential read and a 2500 MB/s sequential write speed. Its random read IOPS is up to 400k and its random write IOPS is up to 550k! It has a great MTBF with a long 1.77 million hours. This is also a TLC hard drive which is something to keep in mind while purchasing. It also has a really nice warranty of 5 years and 850 TBW. Overall, this hard drive is a great buy for anyone out there looking for a great choice.

In todays blog, I will be talking about the SAMSUNG 870 EVO Series hard drive. This hard drive in my opinion is very good for just a simple home motherboard. This hard drive is perfect for a home motherboard because of its specifications and the price! For the low cost of only $52.95, you can get this incredible hard drive!

Now lets get to the fun part, the specifications! This hard drive is 250GB. Its read speed goes up to 560MBps and its write speed goes up to  530MBps. Its MTBF is 1,500,000 hours. It also has a warranty of five years. Its TBW goes up to 150MBps and it is an MLC which is not bad at all. Its price per GB is 0.16 cents which is pretty cheap! Everyone loves cheap. Again, for the low low price of just $52.95, you can get this wonderful hard drive.

When using this hard drive, I would recommend just using a home motherboard. According to everything I have done, it works best on a home motherboard. This is a great, cheap hard drive option if you just have a home motherboard. It works great for me and I have not had any issues with it so far! I would definitely recommend!

Today I am here to share the 970 EVO Plus NVMe® M.2 SSD 1TB SSD with you and I bought it to use in a gaming setup and it works really nice. The SSD is fast enough for me to do anything I need to and the computer loads right up. This low-profile SSD will fit in any motherboard with a m.2 slot. The Samsung SSD is only $139.99 on the Samsung website. I am also able to load into farming simulator really fast not like my old SSD that took up to 2 minutes to load the gaming software.

Specifications:

• Size- 1TB
• Read-3,500MB/s Seq transfer rate
• Write speed-3,300MB/s Seq transfer rate
• Total rights/MTBF, how long will it last- 1.5 million hours
• Warranty- 5 year
• IOPS- 400,000
• V-Nand
• Price per GB- 14 cents per GB
• Form factor 2280
• 600 TBW

I am very happy with this SSD and would suggest it to anyone who is looking to build a computer or upgrade from their old Hard drive. This SSD is customizable for different amounts of storage and that would change the price if this one is too expensive for you.

The Crucial T700 GEN5 NVME SSD M.2 is one of the best hard drives that I have bought. It makes my pc go way faster. The only problem that I had was that I need to buy a adapter for it but it didn’t cost that much on Amazon. It only costed $17.99 on Amazon. Then the price of the Crucial T700 GEN5 NVME SSD M.2 only cost $294.99 when it cost $379.99 at regular price but I got it when it was on sale on the Crucial website. 
So about the specs on the Crucial T700 GEN5 NVME SSD M.2. It is a 2TB SSD M.2 drive. The interface of it is PCI-Express 5.0 4x. The random read and write can go up to 1,500,000 IOPS. Also it has heatsink with it. Also it has a 5 year warranty on it. If you want some more specs on the Crucial T700 GEN5 NVME SSD M.2 then click on the link to Newegg.

This drive has been really reliable for me. It has made my Gigabyte B650 AORUS run a lot faster than it has with my old M.2 drive I had on it. I would recommend this M.2 drive to anyone if they were in need of buying one.

I recently purchased this SSD for my home PC. This has been a really good and reliable SSD. The motherboard for this PC is the ASRock B450M/AC

Motherboard. This is a 2TB M.2 PCIe SSD from the company Samsung. I got it because it has many qualities of a good SSD. As an example, this M.2 is about 40 cents per Gb. This

SSD is currently $99.99 on Newegg. It’s currently rated 4.5 out of 5 eggs on Newegg.

This a ClassRoom Review

970 EVO Plus NVMe 1TB is a good and reliable hard drive for 1TB. It costs $139.99

This hard drive is highly rated for how fast and smooth it can run I wouldn’t recommend buying this for gaming and its only because of the low amount of storage it has. Depending on the games you play it could work but if you plan on using more then 1TB the I would buy more or get a different kind with more storage. I would recommend using this hard drive for either school work or small business work. This hard drive has a 5 year limited warranty and its size is 3.16 x 0.86 x 0.09 and the operating temperature is 0-70c. Read/write speed is 3,500/3,300 MB/s. It is a internal storage device the series is 970 EVO Plus and its interface is PCle Gen 3.0 x 4, NVMe 1.3 and it is able to be used for gaming if the game is smaller then 1TB. Cache memory is Samsung 1GB Low Power DDR4 SDRAM.

So overall I would recommend this hard drive and rate it a 4.8 out of 5 stars.

Note this is for a school project!!!!

In conclusion  I would have to say that the Samsung 870 EVO 500GB SSD would be an amazing choice for business operations with boasting 500GB of storage meaning it is able to easily hold files and with its high read/write speeds I would highly recommend this to any businessman. And that wraps this up.
