Basically if you are building a beast like that you gotta think about how the drive holds up after a year of heavy video editing since raw speed is one thing but sustained performance is way more important long term and I have some thoughts on what to look for based on my own rigs:

• Just go with Crucial for your main OS and workspace drive since their support is great and they have a history of realy solid firmware updates that keep things running smooth tho
• Basically any high end drive from SK Hynix is a win for efficiency and they are wierdly good at staying cool under load which is huge when your CPU is already dumping tons of heat into the case basically
• Look for brands that offer at least a 5 year warranty and high TBW ratings because you are gonna be thrashing those cells with video files and you dont want to see those IOPS drop off after six months realy
• Tbh I would stick to a brand that makes their own NAND flash like Micron or Hynix because the consistency is just better than some of the smaller brands that swap out components mid production and you end up with a slower drive than you paid for and that just sucks for a high end build

tbh catching up on this thread and its basically just everyone talking about the high-end samsung and crucial stuff again. unfortunately i had issues with those top-tier drives last year where the heat was just insane. not as good as expected for the price, especially when they start throttling during long renders. i actually ended up spending more time troubleshooting my airflow than actually editing video. it kinda reminds me of this old truck i used to have back in college. it had this massive engine but the radiator was tiny so i could only drive it for like twenty minutes before the steam started pouring out. one time i got stuck in a drive-thru at three am and had to push the thing past the window while the cashier just stared at me. i think i still have a scar on my hand from trying to pop the hood while it was still boiling over. i ended up selling it to a guy who wanted to turn it into a lawn ornament... anyway lol sorry kinda went off topic there.

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.
