More context

Discussions around NVMe are split between practical NAS upgrade planning (when to install NVMe storage in a Synology DS1525+) and hardware/architecture questions about using NVMe for tiering in virtualized environments. Separately, there’s attention on an RISC-V AI server design that uses many NVMe SSDs for high-throughput workloads.

Common questions on NVMe, surfaced from across the indexed web.

Should you build your own external SSD with an enclosure and an NVMe SSD?

Due to the current high price of NAND, buying an enclosure and populating it with an NVMe SSD is a more enticing proposition than ever before, and it has always appealed to PC builders. Note that even a PCIe 3.0 NVMe SSD will give you good performance in up to 20Gbps enclosures, though you'll need at least a PCIe 4.0 model to get the most out of an 40/80Gbps enclosure.

The verdict is in: These are the 7 best external SSDs for gaming
How much is the Terramaster D1 SSD?

The D1 SSD is dirt cheap for a weatherized IP67-rated aluminum enclosure that runs super cool: $40. Of course, you’re on your own for the NVMe SSD. Anything PCIe 3.0 or later will work as any NVMe SSD will easily outstrip 10Gbps USB’s bandwidth. That said, I used PCI 4.0 and 5.0 types to test, and that allowed the following to occur.

Tested: The Terramaster D1 SSD enclosure punches above its 10Gbps rating, for now
Should you buy the D1 SSD?

The D1 SSD looks cool, runs cool, is weatherproof, and is super-affordable for such quality construction. I’m guessing you won’t be able to futz the NVMe thing after Terramaster updates the firmware, nor should you run the risk of trashing other drives on your system. That said, it was hella’ cool seeing a 10Gbps USB SSD read at 40Gbps. If you do try to mimic my results, which may stem partly from my talent for borking otherwise stable products (it’s a blessing, it’s a curse), I suggest that you never pull the drive off the system. Especially when powered on. I bear zero responsibility for any

Do you really need a Gen 4 SSD, or can you wait?

PCIe is backward-compatible, which means even a Gen 5 M.2 slot can use Gen 3 drives, and vice versa. But like, upgrading to a PCIe 5.0 SSD isn't necessarily worth it if you're just upgrading your motherboard. It's a trap that I've fallen into with every platform upgrade, and really, the only reason you need to upgrade for everyday tasks is if you're running out of storage space. The jump from SATA to PCIe NVMe was a much more meaningful improvement on daily responsiveness, and honestly, even SATA SSDs are fine for daily use. Several of my systems still have SATA SSDs, although I've moved all m

I tested the same NVMe in two generations of PCIe slot and learned why most people are upgrading wrong
