IIRC, some boards will disable some the SATA ports to enable NVMe support, and some boards only support NVMe devices on the onboard M.2 slot
I wouldn't touch it with a 3m barge pole. You can get the 1TB HP EX920 (3D MLC) for less in the US and it's proven to be a good performing quality drive.So has anyone else tried a Crucial P1 NVME M.2 drive? It's QLC and intended for desktop use only, but the 1TB pricing is fantastic when compared to say a Samsung 970 EVO. Lightly-loaded performance tests at Anandtech gave stellar results, with medium also good provided you don't fill up the drive (in which case it stinks).
I saw that last night. It's a great price. I had to remind myself that I have nothing to put one in (that doesn't already have one).Here is the 1TB model of the HP EX920 M.2 NVMe on sale for $100 USD.
I don't have any machine that I can put one in or I would jump at it for that price.I saw that last night. It's a great price. I had to remind myself that I have nothing to put one in (that doesn't already have one).
I only have one PC with NVMe, a Dell XPS laptop. I bought a HP EX920 for it some months ago.I don't have any machine that I can put one in or I would jump at it for that price.
Since apparently it wasn't clear the first time. Let's try this again.What about desktops? You don't use NVMe or M.2?

You mean the Ryzen 3000 series which will be released in 2 days?...but now I'll wait for the new Ryzen 2 when it releases later this year.
You're waiting for the 3950X 16 core $749 part?No, the one in September which is also Ryzen 3000 series.
The 12 core part has my interest. I'm not sure how the 16 core part can have the same TDP and run 4 more cores at the same frequencies. I'll wait for reviews.Yes, but I may change my mind later.

The Anandtech review of the 1TB model made it looks like they made it a worse overall performer than then EX920 for the sake of putting up higher number in a few synthetic benchmarks for bragging rights.Anyone play with the HP EX950 M.2 NVMe drives? I was thinking about trying one of the 2TB drives given their reasonably decent price for the space and performance.
