I've been pleased with my rocket 4 plus, and it's nice there is an 8TB version of that drive. I hope they are not letting 8TB fall to the wayside permanently on PCIE 5.
What's the purpose of these drives? As an os drive there's no decrease in boot times, as a gaming drive there's no decrease in load times. Only benefit is copying large files to another drive that's just as fast 🤷🏼♂️
you think everyone is a gamer? when you really don´t see for what the drives are great you are not in a position to talk about it in a belittling way. i would just ask instead "what is the use for these drives" not come to conclusions with little to no experience beside OS load times and game level load times... ;)
At some point in time, much like QLC, even TLC will hit limits for how fast it can transfer the data from the SLC cache into the final storage method (QLC or TLC). It would be interesting to test if this drive hits those limits.
i need 128-256GB of ram in my system because i work with video files, AI models and 3D scenes. the data is in all these cases huge. AI models can be dozend of GB. even the smaller stable diffusion models are often 6-12 GB. to load this data into ram, vram my SSD´s can´t be fast enough. i only hope to see more capacity.

"What's the purpose of these drives? "5NF really, truly relational databases?? Yeah that olde idea, but not as old hierarchy and flat files again in vogue.
