Thinking about getting a 1TB m.2

My first thought was that using a 1TB SSD in what is basically a caching scheme is crazy.

On further thought, it's crazy.

I'd suggest getting this Sabrent Rocket Q 1TB NVMe PCIe M.2 2280 Internal SSD High Performance Solid State Drive R/W 3200/2000 MB/s (SB-RKTQ-1TB) - Newegg.com or this Sabrent 1TB Rocket NVMe PCIe M.2 2280 Internal SSD High Performance Solid State Drive (SB-ROCKET-1TB) - Newegg.com as an alterative to Samsung. If you had a PCI-E 4.0 CPU + motherboard (you do not, at least in your My Computer listing), I'd suggest this: Sabrent 1TB Rocket Nvme PCIe 4.0 M.2 2280 Internal SSD Maximum Performance Solid State Drive With Heatsink (SB-ROCKET-NVMe4-HTSK-1TB) - Newegg.com.

Sorry can't say whether you should use it as a regular ssd or pair it up with amd storemi.
But. ...
Would suggest to check for all the compatible storage drives with your MoBo maker here .

Thanks vineet & bobkn. It looks like I can use just about any nvme m.2 drive that I'd like to with that mobo. Also right now, I'm in the process of looking for a good nvme m.2 1tb model with 3K+ read for the lowest price.

Oh and thanks compumind, the evo models were the first ones I was considering actually.

I have no connection with Newegg, except as a sometime customer. 1TB, M.2 2280, Internal SSDs, SSDs, Components - Newegg.com

The Sabrent drives rely on Windows' built-in NVMe drivers, and TRIM. No utilities are available from them.
