5000 read, 4400 write, 3600TBW, 1.8M MTBF.

How is this not standard practice when posting?

Thanks OP, not as fast as my Samsung 980 PRO 2 TB, but I did pay about $235 back in Dec. 2020 for it.
This will be a fine addition for my new build this Dec.

i have an old rig. that only supports nvme gen 3 speeds. i was waiting for the sk hynix p31 to go back on sale at $159

any advice if its worth it to go $20 more and get this drive? a 1.8m MTBF means this should be as durable?

Seagate Firecuda drives have always been overpriced. This is still too high for a first gen of Gen 4, when higher performance tier (comparable to Firecuda 530) is getting discounted to not much higher than this (KC3000 2TB is $186 with code at kingston.com).

Could be wrong, but I think the real-world performance difference between Gen 3 and Gen 4 is probably not very noticeable.

It all depends on what people mean by "real world performance".

If that means Gen 4 will always feel faster than a Gen 3 while usng a computer, then no that won't be the case.

But there are scenarios where it will speed up things. For example, if the computer needs to swap out of or into memory when available memory is used up, it will happen much faster with Gen 4.

Will result in faster app switches and startups to get the bits into memory if processing is not the bottleneck.

Or apps that do storage read/process/write back operations like media processing if not constrained by processing speed will happen faster.

The bottleneck right now is that the max pcie speeds and bandwidth are only leveraged between the CPU and other pcie source/destimations, any other storage usage like backups, downloads, etc are constrained by the external connection or bus speeds and throughput.

But architectures and software will evolve to use the additional speed fairly soon.

3600TBW, industrial grade. This is a really good candidate for NAS cache drive.

530 doesn't have half the stated endurance...

What you're really going to feel is small random reads and writes. You will get that benefit with Gen 4 drives on a Gen 3 slot because they have better controllers, more cache, better flash etc.
