I've spent around 1500$ on my build and I'm still getting pathetic performance. Help me build a better one.

Pricing on Silicon Power A80 or Teamgroup MP34?

Both at around 100$ for the 256. No other varient is available.

Not worth it then.

Can you select one of these 3?.

 

S11 has a SM2262 controller and along with the SX8200 Pro which is extremely similar are solidly top tier as far as 3.0 drives go. The S40G uses a RTS5762 which is a bit newer but is similar to the SX8800 and is also of similar performance on paper but isn't capable of as many IOPS as the SM2262 drive.

 

I would go with the A2000 1TB, unless you specifically do storage intense workloads and you would benefit greatly from the extra endurance and performance of a higher end drive where I would recommend the S11.

I have to transfer data around (arount 50-100 gigs) everyday. Does that count as intense storage workload?

And if yes? would S11 be a drastic improvement over the A2000.

And if yes? how much?

Depends on what are you transferring data to/from. The same drive? Gigabit LAN?

[Slayer3032]

I suppose it would, if you're wanting the best drive then I would suggest it.

 

Drastic improvement though, no probably not. On paper in benchmarks the performance is roughly 2/3rds of the S11 but it's not really that simple.

 

If you can afford it, I'd get the S11 but at that price it's more than twice what I paid for my SX8200 which is the same drive without a heatsink. If you cut the price of the A2000 in half, you'd be shopping in all time low sale prices of the lowest end 1TB drives.

Sometimes the same drive. Sometimes I use transfer data to/from my Samsung T5 ssd and WD Mypassport Hdd.

WD Blue SN550 NVMe

How about this one. Its available for a similar price as the Kingston.

Neither external drive should be able to max any of the listed NVMe SSDs here.

Maybe.

Note: WD claims sequential write of 1950 https://shop.westerndigital.com/products/internal-drives/wd-blue-sn550-nvme-ssd#WDS100T2B0C

 

The WD lacks DRAM, but does include some SRAM. I don't know exactly how much or if that is even a problem in a realistic situation. It does claim much higher IOPS, though.

[Update]

Hry guys! I rebuilt my desktop with all your suggestions and its amazing.

Thanks for all the help.
