1tb ns850 wd black m.2 gives me type-c adapter 16,400 points ride 14,800 points usb.2.0 win 11 bootable usb 2.9 driver usb.3.0 18,640 points reade ride 17,400 points 4k bench 1080p normal test it in 4k resolution rade 0 ahso that was without rade without usb 4.0 driver only via 3.1 driver 3.0 output on 10g cable type-c to usb 3.0 i only have 8gb gpu and 6 core 4.75 and 3800 mhz ram x6 Laptops newest over 16core make 12.400points ride in rade 0 dual 2tb x4x4 nvme m.2 7400mb/s i have 7000mb/s over 7.400 i gou hyer with ram oc to 2660mhz 4600mhz 5.0ghz gpu 2.75ghz its 12.900k on 6ghz lvl than i have my bandwith 4090 24gb 21gb/s to 25gb/s that is crasy 3ghz more ore 3000mhz ram more but my ram go max to 4400mhz on 4600mhz ist run i muss go to 6.8 ghz to set my ram to 5.1ghz 6.5 4.8000mhz mhh but on stock oc max 4400mhz 4.6ghz oc 5.1turbo its 5.4ghz 12.900k 4400mhz ram to become 2.5gb/s on 3090 24 gb 7400mb/s 1tb reade over 7000 ssd with oc gpu 2100mhz its 2.75ghz togegher lvl bench on 4k play ad 1080p or 1440p on 8k kabel ist better

Next time, use an MSI x570 Ace MAX instead, which grants you 6 native PCIe 4.0 m.2 slots, 4 of them on the motherboard and 2 more with a similar AIC. 3 of those drives will be direct to CPU using x8x8 bifurcation on the second PCIe x16 slot. Or you could get a 4-slot PCIe 4.0 AIC and run it on the primary x16 slot at x16 and put a GPU on the 3rd x16 slot (Chipset), and have a total of 5 D.E.D.I.C.A.T.E.D. CPU-bound PCIe 4.0 x4 (that's right, 4 lanes EACH) using x4x4x4x4 bifurcation. And not only is AMD Raid easier than Intel, you should also be using Windows Storage Spaces for software Raid which will sometimes achieve better performance, and most importantly, the Raid configuration isn't bound to the motherboard but to the disks themselves and allow changing motherboard.

haha I actually do run 2X PCIe 3.0 NVMe's in RAID0 on my desktop.. not for any performance reasons, but just for simplicity so I can have one drive rather than having to split it into 2. I run a PCIe 4.0 NVMe for my OS drive though that is insanely fast - like 7.5GB/s read performance.. Rocking it with my 12900K + 3080Ti

It should be easy setup.
Just use windows disk manager to setup the raid with few clicks.
Hardware raid is actually bad for ssd as operating system's ssd trim function won't work.
Without trim, ssd write performance will degrade badly overtime.

Gordan the legend, I watched you on some ancient tech show when you just a youngling, showing off a painted green alienware (server case) Gaming rig. I have the same case in black and use it to this day for a plant growing cloning machine. Works great.

Really only matters if your moving large files back and forth often. For gaming it means nothing even with one PCIe 4.0 drive. If your on PCIe 3.0 stay with it, it will be good for a few more years.

Hands down my fave PC World video - you had me laughing and smiling front to back. Love those speeds and thanks for taking us a few laps around the track!

bro i have a Samsung 970 evo plus but my motherboard only supports 2x speeds on the m.2 so i only get half the speed what the drive can do lol

What the hell does all this mean? I can get a refresh rate that is .01 ms faster. Can any human discern the difference of 1 ms?
