What is the best SSD for the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D? I'm building a high-end gaming and video editing PC and want to ensure I choose an SSD that maximizes performance. Should I go for a PCIe Gen 5.0 SSD, or are there good PCIe 4.0 options? Any recommendations for specific models would be greatly appreciated!
Samsung 990 PRO SSD is OK. https://www.amazon.com/SAMSUNG-Internal-Expansion-MZ-V9P2T0B-AM/dp/B0BHJJ9Y77?tag=7649-20
Get the Samsung SSD 9100 PRO 4TB. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DX2GJ1YR?tag=7649-20&linkCode=osi&th=1
The Samsung 9100 Pro delivers sequential read speeds up to 14,800MB/s and write speeds up to 13,400MB/s, making it ideal for content creation.
For the 9950X3D, you'll want something that can keep up with that beast of a processor. I'd recommend the Samsung 990 PRO 2TB - it's got excellent random read/write performance which really matters for gaming and general responsiveness. The WD Black SN850X is also solid if you want to save a bit of money. Both have good endurance ratings and should last you years.
