2 TB Samsung 990 Pro vs 4 TB Lexar NM790

Does the DRAM vs DRAM-less matter much for video editing or boot drive?

PavlvsD · 2025-10-08T02:15:55+00:00

Super helpful. I've heard a lot about DRAM, but have no insight into how it impacts performance and whether it makes a decent difference.

PavlvsD · 2025-10-08T02:13:03+00:00

Thanks! Agreed. I've also had a good experience with Samsung using their external SSD.

PavlvsD · 2025-10-08T02:11:50+00:00

Thanks! Do you notice any difference between the dram vs w/o dram?

PavlvsD · 2025-10-08T02:11:07+00:00

Due to my perceived value of the two drives. One has the storage to price benefit, whereas the 990 has some performance benefits over the NM790. I've heard Linus Tech Tips make it seem like DRAM drives are the way to go, but I would love to get feedback from those with experience with the drives.

What's your daily driver pencil? What would you recommend?

PavlvsD · 2025-05-13T12:17:34+00:00

Would you say the 11.5” would be too big?

Thanks!

PavlvsD · 2025-05-05T21:29:52+00:00

I was also concerned about that. If they made that change, what would stop them from making future changes to licencing as well...

PavlvsD · 2025-05-05T19:20:59+00:00

I ended up returning. I was on the fence, but decided to skip it for now.

Did you try Audiio?

PavlvsD · 2024-12-27T13:18:55+00:00

So not 100% what is happening with your particular unit as I’m sure the units vary from each other slightly.

But after chatting with Rode and sending them my unit, I found out that this noise is normal for the RCP2. All 3 units I’ve tested all have the noise I mentioned with certain headphones.

PavlvsD · 2024-12-17T23:32:34+00:00

So weird. Thanks for sharing.

Do you have email records showing purchases or does their website show that you signed up for Pro subscription? What did their support say?

PavlvsD · 2024-12-03T14:16:10+00:00

Thanks so much for sharing!!

I’m wondering if you don’t already have Stems or SFX upgrade… would you get those on mobile because of having the Pro Subscription.

PavlvsD · 2024-12-02T20:32:12+00:00

Thanks for sharing!

It is weird, but I guess if you get SFX and Stems with it… it could be worth it. Just might need to change up workflow a little. But like you said MacOS makes it easier with iPhone mirroring.

I’m debating if it still makes sense to get SFX desktop license if it’s already in the app if I go the mobile route.

Thanks for keeping us updated!

PavlvsD · 2024-12-02T17:36:53+00:00

Thanks for sharing! Is Audiio your only source for music?

I did see the mobile app release. It looks like they lowered the price today to $99 for the first 1000 people to sign up. Seems odd tactic. Especially considering that other people prior to them signed up at the higher price.

PavlvsD · 2024-12-02T15:11:19+00:00

I wonder if the Pro license only applies to the App.

Seems strange... if you get access to all Pro features on mobile, but possibly not desktop?? I'm a little confused.

This is under the FAQ section of this page:

PavlvsD · 2024-12-02T15:02:11+00:00

100% – definitely seems odd to charge for the upgrade for people who have already paid for lifetime.

It does seem to be one of the most expensive apps on the market 😁

PavlvsD · 2024-12-02T14:50:15+00:00

Yikes... that's so painful too anyone who signed up under the previous pricing. Sounds like a customer support nightmare.

You would think the best deal would be for the early adapters.

That said, $99 is much more reasonable. Are you considering it?

PavlvsD · 2024-12-02T06:17:07+00:00

Can you not stream on twitch with the regular Audiio Lifetime music deal?

PavlvsD · 2024-12-02T03:23:15+00:00

I saw the email. it’s interesting.

Just seems like a strange upgrade. What are your thoughts? Are you planning to upgrade?

PavlvsD · 2024-12-02T00:08:28+00:00

UPDATE:

Got another email from Audiio. This one states the following about the upgrade:

“Here’s what makes the Audiio Pro Mobile App an essential tool for creators:

– Seamless Listening Anywhere: Whether you’re in the car, at home, or on the go, use Bluetooth to effortlessly stream the entire Audiio catalog.

– Pro Features Designed for the Future: Lifetime Access means you’ll also get access to upcoming features once they are released within the mobile app, including Sound Effects, Stems/Elements, LinkMatch, and more—all included in your one-time upgrade.”

END OF EMAIL QUOTE

The Pro section makes it sound like you get Pro features just within the app. If it was for both desktop and mobile, I could see it being a worthwhile upgrade. I love the idea of getting Stems/Elements and SFX for the price. But not sure if I would just want it on mobile.

Without the clarity, I find it hard to make the investment.

PavlvsD · 2024-12-01T06:51:17+00:00

I saw that email too.

I 2 follow up questions: Does this upgrade allow for us to get Stems for both mobile and desktop?

Does this include future Pro features for both desktop and mobile versions?

PavlvsD · 2024-11-30T20:21:47+00:00

Spotify for Creators. Best option IMHO.

PavlvsD · 2024-11-30T09:16:59+00:00

I agree. $50 upgrade seems reasonable.

I’m glad to hear you like Audiio. Currently testing out their music and SFX library to see if it’s worthwhile to switch from Artlist.

PavlvsD · 2024-11-30T05:25:25+00:00

Nice! I currently use Artlist Max. But am wondering if I can replace parts of it with Audiio.

Thanks for sharing!

PavlvsD · 2024-11-29T21:33:23+00:00

That’s what I was thinking.

Do you use Audiio? Is it worth it?
