I'm glad I was able to help, or at least get you pointed in the right direction.
You may want to hold off on your purchase a bit longer. The prices on ssds have been dropping lately and it is reasonable to expect some good online deals on blackfriday. In regards to the Nvme drives, keep in mind that they do get quite hot and if you are wanting to have 4+ in one enclosure, that may be an issue for noise/cooling. Just something to be aware of. Good luck in your parts hunting, and the reddit forum is great if you have the ability to wait for a deal, or as a research tool. https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapcsales/ Jason On Sat, Sep 19, 2020 at 3:34 PM John Jason Jordan <[email protected]> wrote: > On Sat, 19 Sep 2020 12:52:17 -0700 > Jason Barnett <[email protected]> dijo: > > >Here is a good place to get started. > >https://ssd.borecraft.com/SSD_Buying_Guide.pdf > >Also, check out this reddit sub forum.
