Hey everyone! I’m eyeing the SATA 6Gbps SSD 1.6TB (2.5-inch) https://serverorbit.com/solid-state-drives-ssd/sata-6gbps-ssd/1-6tb-ri-2-5inch as a budget-friendly storage upgrade for my older gaming rig/media server. With NVMe dominating the spotlight, I’m curious:
Performance: For games and general use, will the SATA III bottleneck (550MB/s) be noticeable vs. NVMe in real-world scenarios?
Durability: Anyone run this drive long-term? How’s the endurance for heavy writes (e.g., video editing or modding)?
Use Cases: Would you recommend it for a secondary game library drive, or is it better suited for backups/archival?
Bonus Q: Any tips to squeeze extra life out of it (e.g., overprovisioning, cooling)?
Context: My setup is a Ryzen 5 3600 + GTX 1660 Super, currently using a 500GB NVMe boot drive. Looking to expand without breaking the bank!
