Do you think that such these are redundant for the general consumer? According to the LTT video the real world performance differences were not worth it at all.
Where do you think such drives are useful in today's world?

I did see much difference in gen 3 to gen 4 nvme drives! Other than 2-3 sec in game loading no difference! We need higher capacity not crazy speed which we cannot realise.

This. Give us Gen3 4TB/8TB at affordable price already.

Yeah this is really the truth I mean when was the last time you actually noticed a longer loading time on a nvme ssd device flash storage has gotten really fast and reasonably cheap

We want sasta SSD with high speed enough for work and gaming Last time I got a 2TB for 34k and felt like looted when in 6 month it did dropped to 22k and all time low of something 16 to 18k

Couple of years back I got a crucial 500gb sata ssd for 3500rs, and then a few months later saw an EVM 1Tb SSD for 3K I felt stupid for buying the 500Gb one but I didn't waste any time and bought 2 1TB's ( for myself and my brother) and I haven't seen the prices that cheaper since.

When I needed extra space for my PC.

When I regretted checking how much I paid for the older one and at the present, wish I had purchased 2 instead of one.

Same Item twice the price. And it's back to 7K I think.
I want a 2tb SSD since I need to record gameplays which are like 3GB for 1 Minute.
And the only reason I'm not buying one is coz of the stupid prices.

Blah I want gen 3 4tb at RS 5000

Yea I also bought mx500 for 7k but lucky me, it was 3 to 4 years back

You should look into m.2 drives instead of 2.5 inch ones they have gotten pretty cheap over the years and offer much higher speeds than the sata ssd

We have seen diminishing returns after SATA SSDs. The only time I saw a major advantage of nvme was in graphics design and that's understandable. I want cheap(er) storage not fast(er) storage. Honestly after sata SSDs went mainstream, I kinda wanted the Hard Disk price to fall but unfortunately that didn't happen.

Blah I want gen 3 4tb at RS 5000

Man I would be happy to get 4TB 3.5" HDDs at 5k forget about nvme

As long as 4tbs get below 20k, I'll be happy, seeing 30k+ for a 4tb just makes me cry
