Yep, the Dragon Lady is pretty expensive.U.2 sure looks expensive.

Lunar has atypical wants....
550MB/sec at what block size? No it's not weird.

probably 4kB random write, 32 queue depth. :drunk:
No, the que depth realistically should be low. Higher numbers inflate the IPOPS.
I'm not all that complicated. I just want ~4TB with performance similar to the 2TB SSDs like the 960 Prod and better reliability.

Buy this drive and this adapter. Follow the instructions in this video to know how to install it.
Finally, you must absolutely click on that link.
You'd have to research that. If you don't want to bother with researching warranty eligibility, buy it from CDW for $100 more.

Both sites list the same manufacturing part number SSDPE2KX040T701...how is it different? CDW has been around forever and usually interfaces with businesses. I haven't bought anything from them in a long time because they're often not the cheapest price for any given product. They have a 1-800 phone number you could call and ask.
I may be confused by the PCIe 3.1 part, which I thought meant the PCIe card style rather than U.2. My X99 only has PCIe 3.0 if that matters.
I'd want to figure out how to automatically copy that to the NAS.
Not really. I suppose it is for servers.
I suppose the sustained writes/reads are nothing special if they only report the 4K random results.
I'm evaluating a 2.5" Samsung SM1715 NVMe 1.6TB drive in my desktop. What does everyone typically use for software to gauge the performance of SSDs under windows these days? I tried the common one like CrystalDiskMark and Atto. Are there others people use?

What's the recommended M.2 NVMe drive for a laptop? The Samsung 960 EVO series?
That works for me.

Saw this review this morning... We've had a few Intel and Samsung M2's at work, and it's pretty much a either/or with either brand...

I think you mean the 860 Pro. The use of TLC Nand is disappointing for a "Pro" drive though it seems to perform quite well. The information directly contradicts the Anandtech review Chewy linked which says, "...and Samsung's 64L 3D NAND is used in the new 860 PRO and 860 EVO..."

No one else states that. Only Storage Review says it has Toshiba flash though. Samsung also shortened the warranty to 5 years on the Pro version.
However, I don't really get it. For the most part the SATA interface was already holding back the 850 Pro. The 860 Pro has little room for more performance, but they want a price premium for it. For the same price level you can get a faster NVMe drive. Or you can get like 95% of the performance for a lot less because other companies can effectively saturate the SATA interface with some of their products also.

Not everyone has or is comfortable with M.2.
And why settle for 95% when you can pay more for 100%?

Find a motherboard with enough PCIe x16 slots and you could use a few of these: http://www.aplicata.com/quattro-410/
(Not recommending the above mentioned product, but to demonstrate that this sort of product exists).
PS. http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/xeon/c600/x10drg-q.cfm and https://www.supermicro.com.tw/Aplus/motherboard/EPYC7000/H11SSL-NC.cfm , so there are boards out there with 3 and 4 PCIex16 slots... Add in a 10GB LAN adapter...

I think I will wait for the next generation of NVMe drives before getting one for the new laptop since it already comes with one that will tie me over just fine. The PM981 is already out so the 980 EVO shouldn't be too far away.
Do you expect that to include a 4TB model?

I have no idea. SSD's that large aren't on my radar. 512gB is mostly where my interest is. I could maybe be persuaded to 1TB if the performance was considerably better than a 512gB.
I would be looking at 500/512GB and 4TB, but nothing in between. 500/512GB is enough for the boot drive yet 1-2TB just isn't enough for much data.

But two 4x NVME PCIe boards would solve that.
Yes; I have one. It needs a 16x PCIe slot. The card has 4 x U.2 connectors that you can run cables to four 2.5" NVMe drives.
