990 PRO (no EVO) is also on sale: 2TB with DRAM for $150 (amazon)

Basically just a marketing term

https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-c...ane-widths
Perhaps the 990 Evo's most unique selling point is that it supports PCIe 5.0, but only with two lanes, which is equivalent to the bandwidth of the four lanes of PCIe 4.0 that it also offers. PCIe 4.0 SSDs work completely fine on PCIe 5.0 slots, so there's technically no advantage for the 990 Evo to support PCIe 5.0, especially when it's not even bottlenecked by its PCIe 4.0 connection.

What are the cheapest (DRAMless) nvme drives I can get, for Unifi NVR application? BW shouldn't matter at all, endurance TBW etc a lot

I bought this one:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product...=UTF8&th=1
It's PCIe Gen 3 although.

Learn from my mistake, else I'd be using the drives in my old pc in my new one. Unfortunately 1tb & 2tb is not enough...a few games and a couple family events in 4k and before I'm out of space.

I don't game so can't help you there, but media should go on a HDD on a NAS. A 2tb NVME should be more than enough for 95% of people.

Wait for Black Friday folks. SSDs are one of the things you can reliably count on to have a good discount.

It seems to me like each of the last 4-5 years some of the best deals come out earlier and earlier before BF. It definitely depends on what you need, but companies want to beat the competition to the punch and clear a bunch of stock as if these early deals are free advertising to check back on BF with a fine tooth comb.

Ssds were dirt cheap in 2023. That doesn't always happen.

Several weeks ago Best Buy had the Pro version (2 TB) on sale for $110! Sold out within a day. That's the lowest I have seen it....it fell on one of those "Deal of the Day" items...hoping it gets down to that prIce this holiday season

Agreed. I wish they made larger SSDs. I just ended up buying a NAS. Both my 2tb NVME drives are almost full and I don't want to last my free M2 slot at the moment.
