NVME m.2 all the things. 4tb NVME prices continue to drop.
I’m pulling all SSD’s out of my machine and replacing them with m.2. Makes for higher performance an extremely clean build with a whole lot less wires. Basically every machine has a 1tb OS NVME drive and a 4tb NVME game drive. The editing machine has an NVME raid card with 4 2tb Samsung 970’s in raid 0. Any rig with only 1 nme slot was given a 4tb nvme card. This was only an issue on 2 micro ATX rigs.
Finally retiring older desktops and laptops from the x58 era.
I have a ton of used SSD’s that I’ll be dropping into my server projects.
