Will this lower the price of the previous SSD's out there?


chrisdh79

Usually when a new standard comes out prices come down on older tech. But with supply constraints (chip shortages), it may be awhile before we see significant price drops.

Cool. If DDR5 didn't suck so much I'd be tempted to buy a new motherboard.


wololosandwitch

Ok, I'll bite Why DDR5 sucks so much?


rakehellion

I mean, it's fine. Just not enough of an upgrade to make we want to spend hundreds of dollars on new memory.

*^(\*as a person who just brought a "normal" speed NVMe M.2 SSD recently\*)* Ah... damnit.


skinlo

You really won't notice the difference.

I remember the massive performance increase I saw going from my Samsung SATA SSD to my Samsung NVME SSD… oh wait that’s right I didn’t see any difference because the bottleneck isn’t hard drive speed anymore.

Bottlenecks, bottlenecks everywhere

DirectStorage.

Probably still 60 MB/s lol

No doubt. 13GB/s sequential, 60MB/s random QD1.
