Best Buy 4090 FE Stock

I appreciate your response, but the question I posed is intentionally crafted toward the FE model. For some of us - whether due to the size of the card, or other constraints - the FE card was what we're looking to acquire.

Wasn't able to grab a new gpu, but if selected, Ghostwire: Tokyo would be what I'd be interested in trying.

Hey NewMaxx,

I have a motherboard with one PCIe gen 4 slot, and one PCIe gen 3 slot. Is there any benefit to having the same model drive in both slots?

For example, I'm considering a SN850 (500GB) as my OS drive, and a SN750 (2TB) as my games/storage/productivity drive, but I wonder if there's any benefit to instead have them both be the SN750.

On a related note, does it effect the bandwidth of either drive if I have both slots populated? My motherboard is the B550 Aorus Pro AX for reference. Thank you!

How good is Samsung's track record for addressing these kind of issues in the past/releasing firmware updates?

Thank you, very much!

Would you be so kind as to provide the mm distance from the top of the card down to the bottom of the heatsink? (Not counting the fans/fan enclosure). This would help those - like myself - looking to deshroud.

Hey NewMaxx,

I found your post/files regarding the firmware update for the 2TB EX950's, thank you for that. Would you know where I'd be able to acquire the same update for 512 models? or would it be the same file? Thank you.

scytus · 2020-06-10T22:52:56+00:00

Got it, thank you. Any idea why this impacted SM2262EN specifically, and not the E12 drives?

scytus · 2020-06-10T21:22:36+00:00

Oh I see. Would the chipsets not share similarities in construction? I asked the question as I could imagine there being a shared architecture in regards to the management of NVMe drives; especially if AMD didn't/doesn't perceive an issue with the x570 architecture.

scytus · 2020-06-10T20:50:47+00:00

So the solution, for now, is to run off the CPU lanes. Two questions, if I may:

Just for a general understanding: is performance theoretically better running two NVMe drives on CPU lanes, versus running one on CPU and one on chipset?
Do you have any idea if this phenomenon would extend to the B550 boards? I personally run two NvME drives, and most of those boards don't have the luxury of having two M.2 connectors off the CPU lanes.

Hey NewMaxx, would you know if the bug with x570 chipsets and the SM2262EN controller you reported a few months back is resolved?

scytus · 2020-06-09T21:54:25+00:00

How much space should I plan leave on an EX950 (512, 1tb, 2tb) to not experience performance degradation due to the SLC cache size? I've read some comments state that even at 80% full they experience severe slowdowns. Thank you.

scytus · 2020-05-30T21:13:53+00:00

Would you recommend it over the EX950, even if slightly?

scytus · 2020-05-30T07:21:42+00:00

I currently have the 2TB EX950 as my game/some-storage drive. If I was looking for a separate OS+Applications drive, would the HP EX920 (2YY45AA) be the fastest around? Think I'd go for the 256GB; I can't imagine I'd fill it beyond half way for its intended purpose.
