GriffonBR Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 (edited) I'm using this one only for DCS World and just WOW! in terms of map loading and no hiccups/freezes at all. Less than 12secs for all DCS Maps and modules (offline missions). https://www.amazon.com/BLACK-SN750-500GB-Internal-Gaming/dp/B07MC2Q81D?th=1 Edited January 30, 2020 by GriffonBR Intel 8700K@4.7ghz(all cores) / 32Gb DDR4 /WD Black SN750 Heatsink 500gb (DCS Only) / MSI GeForce RTX 2070 GAMING Z 8G / Windows 10 PRO / VPC WarBRD Base + Warthog Stick + Foxx Mount / Thrustmaster TPR pedals / Thustmaster MFD / Thrustmaster Warthog throttle + Monstertech chair mount Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerFangzahn Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Sadly no ! Google SSD reliability chart and look at half a dozen of those charts, clear winner, Samsung, followed by Micron. If you take the Intel 660p 1TB NVME drive. A cheap QLC drive with SLC cache. They give you 5 year or 200 TBW guarantee. On the 2TB drive its even 500 TBW. So if you do not write tens of GB on a daily basis to this drive. What a standard gaming user will not do. The longevity of this drives is more than sufficient for everyone. You do professional stuff on the drive? Sure get a premium MLC drive. But for a gaming disk? Na... The money I but into a better graphic card.

BitMaster Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Your point is valid in respect to gaming, no doubt. I am pretty sure that those failed drives in those charts were not over the TBW limit, it's the PCB, the controller and the DRAM component that say goodbye and the whole drive with it. Saying that, I just ordered a 860 Pro 256GB for a Linux server ;) Gigabyte Aorus X570S Master - Ryzen 5900X - Gskill 64GB 3200/CL14@3600/CL14 - Asus 1080ti EK-waterblock - 4x Samsung 980Pro 1TB - 1x Samsung 870 Evo 1TB - 1x SanDisc 120GB SSD - Heatkiller IV - MoRa3-360LT@9x120mm Noctua F12 - Corsair AXi-1200 - TiR5-Pro - Warthog Hotas - Saitek Combat Pedals - Asus PG278Q 27" QHD Gsync 144Hz - Corsair K70 RGB Pro - Win11 Pro/Linux - Phanteks Evolv-X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotRod87 Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Get the Intel M.2 ssds. Almost half the price of the Samsung ones, and NO difference in performance. Performance difference will be only when reading/writing single large files. Samsungs are more reliable.

dbestinfla Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Funny that I'm reading this as this was my same question last week. All of the responses were over the top with info and recommendations. These guys are great. So after a lot of reading I went with the Samsung EVO 970 M.2 1TB and it was a most excellent choice. Theses guys really pointed me in the right direction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

etherbattx Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 (edited) Best SSD to use for Dcs Personally I think it makes a difference, if you're using an M2 SSD for your OS. But I never benchmarked my system with my old SATA SSD and then with the new M2 SSD i have benchmarked my system. if you copy a lot of large files around between drives, it’s noticeable. but booting windows isn’t much (any?) faster. for loading games, in a blind test, you’d be hard pressed to see the difference.
