How SSD Technology Keeps Getting WORSE! - Intel 660p Review

EyvAllah Kaan Çelik.

As it fills up, does it negatively affects reading speeds aswell ?

As I said yesterday in another video. A 2tb addition to my 1tb 660 was the only choice I 2ouldnt regret to some measure or another. The problem is, linus, is this is a consumer budget nvme... The first actually, the one that set the framework for qlc and thus competition to eventually lower prices. For gamers, if you put on your "peasant" thinking cap for a moment, was a brilliant move and customer conscsious for intel to make. It's not an nvme for creators man. Someday your well known aptitude for well rounded coverage and generally fairness will bite you in the ass 2heb people see you having some mind for the best and the most expensive. It's a hard thing to come back from 2brn you probably accidentally drop and break more in a good month than I make in a year, and the consumer tech worship we can't 3b3b mention making a move toward sustainability, let alone to think about the reprecussions for our children. But hey, maybe it's just the kids in Malaysia that will have tumors from all the ewaste burning, so what the hell. I'm. Sorry man I love you, I just have to vent. This vid is pretty old but things are only getting worse from the tech influencers, to the mafias that are making millions taking our plastic and electronics and scrapping two percent and illegally offing the rest. And the crap you gave intel when they were probably at one of their greatest heights of achievement, I hope you realize in hindsight was on many many many levels unfair to bordering on cyberpunk fqnboysism for militech. I love and too, buy I won't trash the king losing war and then kick him fifty ones while down when his battlefield prowess was not what waned.

I have a 2TB 660P and an 8TB NASx2. I've noticed the 660p particularly struggles with 4kb read/write, which means that sometimes transferring older games around can take a long time, but I got the 660p knowing full well that the write speeds kinda suck, but it's all about that read speed baby. With 32 gb of DDR4-3200hz, a 9700K, and a 1080Ti, my load times and frame delta's are fucking phenomenal.

ahhhhhhckkk!!!! I bought this one just because there were no sk hynix ssds

My ASUS Strix G 712LV came with a Intel 660p 512GB NVMe...Should I be concerned?

I have a 2 tb 650p in my machine, has running with no issues at all for 2 years now.

Eyy im sooo happpy forin video turkish language ... thank u my friend im follow your channel ..

Thanks for genocidal turkish subtitles

All i wanna know is, has this been fucking with my gaming at all for the last year? Because my next upgrade is to an evo from this crap ssd

Windows has Prefetch, that invalidates many tests. You think you read from your disks, but you read from RAM where your usually used app loads from (Windows learns your habits and pre-loads your app before you click on it).

Intel SSDs are vastly different and sometimes even garbage-tier compared to something like Samsung.

Not even high capacity USD drives have these ridiculous slowdowns, only Intel maybe.

Clicked on this video because I have the 2TB variant of this. Works just fine as an external game drive, quick enough, and CrystalDiskInfo says it's still running alright.

660p? What a low resolution

Pog

Actually bought this exact ssd for my rig before watching this just now and honestly its been doing okay. I haven't noticed and dips in performance and I game on it daily with 333gb left on the drive. I plan on getting another drive for my system considering how full it is but overall the 660p ain't too shabby.

why are you gey?

Worse??

Intel is Big 💩

it seems that 660p in real world use outperforms 970 evo plus, is that true, seems like other tests suggests that.

I bought 2 of these 2tb 660p drives less than a month ago from ebay and newegg. Both drives are identical. 1 was windows and apps and 1 was just games and my documents. I have been playing cyber punk all day. Closed out of my game and left for a couple hours. When I got home my computer was sitting at the bios screen. So I restarted my laptop and back to bios. Looks at my drives both show up as 1gb sm2263 drives. Not intel... I'm running them in a Asus ROG Strix G17 2021. Ryzen 7 5800H. 32GB Ram. RTX3060 6gb. The machine was running amazing then poof.

Thank you for this

so this SSD can be recommended?

Hi guys, question. I'm setting up a small local media server, I want to use ssd instead of hdd, so ssd has limited write times, what happen when it reaches that limit? It will be read only but I'm still have my files?

LOL pc building sim is free on epic rn. Only had to wait 3 years

1tb QLC ssds aren't any cheaper than TLC ssds right now. it makes no sense. samsung's QLC drives cost more than some TLC nvme drives

i appreciate the turkish title translation ltt :)

Haven't watched yet but I got one of these with a pre-built I bought on Newegg and it has less than 500gb of storage so I have to see if this is normal or not

Hi chicken😂

SSD: Prepare for the world's biggest data loss disaster in the future when all this crap will fail.

and now the 660p is the same price or cheaper as Sata ssds at the same capacity

We could use more videos like this team. Super love these and miss them.

Even if new videos like this are remakes. Might help generate a lot more views

How does optane and HDD perform on similar performance tests?

And now they're trying to come-out with 5LC and 6LC 😠

(This comment is-not finished yet. I'll edit it as soon as I get the chances to).

Hmm. In fall of 2019 I built a SFF pc for myself. And I wanted as much NVME storage as I could afford. At the time that meant two of these 660p drives with 2 Tb each.
I have genuinely been very happy with that choice. They were not the fastest drives but were a huge improvement from my previous pc.
I am not really looking to replace my pc but I may start thinking about replacing the drives. I suppose I ought to go find that Intel tool and see where I am at for total writes/reads as well.

It gets stuck inside
Yes sted daddy linus

i owned a 660 and only recently replaced it with a 980 , i have to be honest as a consumer using this in a z390 coffee lake system this drive performed really well for me over its life span .
Interesting to see people talk about optane in comments which is now as at Z690 on its last gasp release intel board that will support it , where are all the cheap h20 1 tb nvme cards ( 32 Gb / 760P i think ) being dumped on the market ?

🤮NEVER BUY INTEL NVME!!!!
It's cheap not so fast and if you use to store sensible data and as in my case its a nightmare.
It get faulted and lost all data and none is able to recover it due Intel tampered and locked controller.
Good if you are playing useless game but a very dangerous item if you store your work or important data.

I have 1 TB of this SSD :O bought with my new second Hand Gaming PC.

are we going to notice this though. these drives are rapid, over 3 times faster and over 90% of reviews are brilliant. And the price is great.

Rip Optane

Just got a 4TB QLC NVMe for $270. Game load times are no different than a "fancier" ssd. Don't know what the fuss is about. I saved a lot of money when most fancier 4TB models easily cost double.

There should be another video; manufacturers are wotching linus videos. Fact that ssd are more like cache memory devices rather than proper fast drives should make healines. Its just like false arversisement : /

So a perfect use case for a Long Term Storage Solution

What many seem to forget is that the Intel 670p consumes only 80mW in active state, while for example Samsung's 970 Evo Plus NVMe M.2 consumes 6W - 9W (burst mode) in active state. Guess which storage option I would choose to build a quiet PC with passive cooling?

I'm about to buy 1 ,2tb 660p for gaming. I mean I install games from internet, steam, ubisoft etc, is it good for gaming library? It will be slow??? Help me fast

is that a fnaf shirt?
