In this episode of the Full Nerd,-Gordon Mah Ung (https://twitter.com/gordonung),-Brad Chacos (https://twitter.com/BradChacos),-Alaina Yee (https://twitter.com/morphingball), and-Adam Patrick Murray (https://twitter.com/AdamPMurray)-talk about the fastest NVMe SSD yet, a badass FreeSync 2 monitor and the state of HDR on PCs, and AMD dropping hardware-laden Combat Crates behind cryptocurrency lines.
First up: The Samsung 970 Pro (https://www.pcworld.com/article/3268829/storage/samsung-970-pro-ssd-review.html) is the fastest NVMe SSD we’ve tested, full stop. But is the massive price premium for “the best” worthwhile when more affordable NVMe drives like the WD Black 3D (https://www.pcworld.com/article/3265032/storage/western-digital-black-3d-nvme-ssd-review.html) and Samsung’s own 970 EVO (https://www.pcworld.com/article/3269148/storage/samsung-970-evo-ssd-review.html) deliver much of the same performance at a fraction of the price? Should you even consider an NVMe SSD or just go for a standard SATA-based drive? We haven’t discussed storage in a while so we go deep on this one.
