Question 8

I have an old msi mb with 2 ssd in a raid configuration and looking to build for w11 are the new mb's setup for raid & will the SS 990 EVO  raid or with these speeds not necessary? Thanks

Accepted Answer

Robert, the new MBs are set up for RAID. After reading several tech articles, most agree RAID is not necessary. I used to do RAID 0 a few years back when a 500MB Samsung was $230. Anything larger carried a ridiculous price. I got a 1 GB capacity, but on several occasions it did not translate into faster speeds. If you could obtain the double speeds it was more about bragging rights. I'm older and wiser now - lol. Hope this helps.

Question 9

Which type of RAM to 990 Evo Plus SSDs have, MLC or TLC?

Accepted Answer

Given it's an EVO, I'd imagine at most it's a TLC and perhaps a QLC for the price.  Not knocking it, just giving rational thought based on their tiers of labelling.

Question 10

Is the 2T drive a 2 sided drive? Asking if I should remove the thermal film on heatsink.. Thanks

Accepted Answer

The 990EVO plus is a single sided drive. And you should always remove the protective barrier to allow the thermal film to make contact with the M2 Samsung 990 EVO plus drive.
