MP 7,1 Samsung M.2 NVMe: 970 EVO Plus vs 970 PRO for video editing (burst vs sustained?)

[Korican100]

Hey Guys, i returned my OWC Acelsior, and gonna pull the trigger on the sonnet x16 pcie, and some samsung sticks. But which sticks are better for Video Editing purposes?

I read on a youtube comment the 970 pro's are better at sustained read and write performance vs the 970 evo pls burst.

I have no idea if this is true or not, but would like to confirm with you guys. Can anyone chime in? Thanks.

this is true, but the pro are only 1TB
with the evo plus you can get 2TB

So I guess what would real world difference be between them? Is it significant?

2 TB is very significantly bigger than 1 TB

2 TB is very significantly bigger than 1 TB

I think he’s asking if the less sustained speed is gonna be significant...

Lol I meant in terms of usability and performance. I would assume sustained read and write means a consistent expectation of performance vs burst having unexpected performance?

sorry, i only have 6 pieces of 2 TB 970 evo plus and no pro

There’s will be no humanly appreciable difference between the two especially in a Raid array. The 970 Pro is almost double the cost it’s slower but uses more reliable MLC NAND Vs, the 970 Evo Plus uses TLC NAND

Using a NVME 1TB 970 EVO Plus on my Gaming PC the best thing is a 40% reduction claimed in CPU cycles required by NVME M.2 drives thanks to 4x Lanes PCI Express 3.0 Bandwidth

So more CPU horsepower available.
