With The Current State Of The Market, PCIe 4.0 Drives Are Your Friends!
We at PCPer often mention that while PCIe 5.0 drives are neat they don’t really offer any real advantage over PCIe 4.0 drives when gaming or browsing the web. With NAND prices already on the rise and nothing but bad news expected for quite a while it makes even more sense to go with a PCIe drive such as BIWIN’s Black Opal NV7400. It is a DRAM-less SSD which helps bring the price down even further compared to drives with a DRAM cache. The good news is that MaXio controller and Micron 232-Layer 3D TLC NAND never showed any throttling during NikKTech’s testing.
Along with the drive you get access to BIWIN’s Intelligence software suite which offers a wide variety of tools to monitor, update and manipulate the Black Opal NV7400. Check out the full review here.
