Out of spite I refuse to buy an SSD right now. This thing was like $100 a few months ago. I don't even care if prices are supposed to raise another 50%... I'll just delete games and reinstall them.

Lol same, waiting for them to be considered "overstocked" again.

Looks like Amazon is matching now:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product...0DER&psc=1

But I will wait for a better deal since I don't need it just yet... maybe later this year if I decide to build a new machine... but then I'd prefer the 990 PRO.

Now that everything I've read said that drive speed doesn't really matter for gaming I've stopped looking at gen 5 drives and now just want a decent 4tb gen 4 that doesn't cost as much as a GPU lol.

any idea if this would work on an older B350 chipset AMD motherboard? I see some details about the PCI-E gen compatbility but it seems squishy

This thing only released in January 2024, and the 2TB model never was $100. So many people on SD are BS artists.

It would work, but there's no reason at all to get this for older chipsets. It is a very niche product, designed for the 3 or 4 specific scenarios where it kind of sort of make sense to use a "hybrid" Gen 5x2 PCIE drive. Almost everyone would be better served just getting a regular Gen 4x4 drive - even in the case of older Gen 3 chipsets (because Gen 3 drives are not really cheaper).

How much dram does it have if any? Writes are important to me.

Link is also dead, Amazon's price is still matching but Newegg has substituted for a generic brand
