SATA Express as Fast As Possible

[@RyanAmparo-tl]

It’s nice to watch this in hindsight. SATA express never took off and it’s now a dead standard with no SSDs supporting it

[@TheBeastWithinV]

I like how you guys now display the "not so common words" with their definition, that's awesome. Great Videos guys.

When I was a young teenager (1990) I dreamed of the day you could make a hard disk that looked like ram that you hook to to one of those slots on the pc and it would be super duper fast. I even asked a man at some computer store about this. I was laughed out the store. He said: "They don't even use that in Star trek or Star Wars, how could that even be possible in the next 20 years?" I wish I could see his face now.

[@qualin1974]

I have no idea why the KZbin algorithm recommended this video to me. I bought an X99 mainboard about 10 years ago so I could have SATA Express support in the hopes that I would see future devices using it. Instead, it became obsolete, only to be replaced with system boards with numerous M.2 slots. I suppose they call it "Bleeding edge" for a reason.

[@SidheKnight]

Hey Linus, would you make a video about future-proofing? (Sorry if this is the wrong channel)

[@wawaweewarice5302]

That's just a simple concept. Like buying extra food to last you another week. In this case, more power/speed/capacity than you already need like when you get an i7 so you won't need to upgrade for another 3 years or if you get a 6TB hard drive so you don't run in the future

[@SidheKnight]

Wawaweewa Rice I know what it is, but I was expecting a more.. complete analysis. A guide to future proofing, advantages, disadvantages, how to do it properly, is it worth it? etc.

[@johnpark3243]

SidheKnight From what I know about the subject future proofing seems to be a nice time saver, but you are going to have to pay more for it. Buying high end components when they first come out is gonna have a hefty price premium, it's usually best to buy parts in the "sweet spot" range around 150 - 250 dollars (I don't know where u live or what currency you use, but I'm sure you know the sweet spot in your currency). This USUALLY gets you the best bang for your buck and most of the time lasts a few years depending on your expectations, and will certainly outlast a couple generations of consoles if you plan on using your pc to game. Hope this helps a little.

[@sniperlif3]

Get a computer, save up, buy upgrades. Future proof. Honestly you can't future proof your stuff much. You could buy a top of the line computer today and it would be slow in comparison in 5-10 years.

[@patrickpitz1879]

[@Kristibek]

I came here from the AHCI as fast as possible video by clicking the information card every time until I ended up here

[@cyb3ar897]

Linus, since we're moving towards SSDs as being ubiquitous for everything, and slowly phasing out magnetic drives, how about an episode on the reliability of modern SSDs, and are they comparable to the reliability of hard drives? I ask this from the perspective of someone who just had a 32GB sd card fail after four years of use, and also from the perspective of someone who had to RMA their brand new 2TB hard drive. If we're going to move towards SSDs, I would hope we have solved the problem of limited writes that is a guarantee that solid state memory solutions will fail.

[@Hauptseite]

LogicOwl | Let's Plays I'd say that anything is guaranteed to fail eventually. The magnetic head of the HDD will eventually wear out and modern SSDs are rated in the hundreds of TBs writes if I am not mistaken-SSDs can actually last into the /Petabyte/ range. This is an insanely high number that no normal person would ever get to until after quite a few years. Extreme stress tests were done on six SSDs, constantly being filled to the brim with data and then being erased, only to repeat the process over and over without a single break 24/7. These suckers lasted well beyond any normal person's usage. Here's the test: techreport.com/review/27062/the-ssd-endurance-experiment-only-two-remain-after-1-5pb

[@jeevespreston]

You're likely confusing people, please annotate and describe data rates correctly. The upper/lower case of the "B" is important. MBps = MegaBYTES per second (8 bits per byte), and Mbps = MegaBITS per second... There is a vast difference between the two. 1 Megabyte = 8 Megabits...

[@mutantbaby1672]

Graphics on screen: 2:33 1GBps and 4GBps refer to 1GigaByte per second and 4GigaByte per second Mean while @ 0:24 SATAIII 6GBps is supposed to mean 6Gigabit per second Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy.

[@alexclanton6626]

Dude in reality SATA 3 does not get 6 Gigabits pers second. So 600 mb/s is what you actually get.

[@mutantbaby1672]

alex clanton "600 mb/s" lulz

[@volundrfrey896]

alex clanton "600 mb/s " so 600 millibit/second?

[@oliverdebruin]

alex clanton 1 gigaBITs per second= 125 megaBYTES per second. There fore 6 gigaBITs per second = is around 600 megaBYTES per second.

[@Calyx]

Mutant Baby You're not just a grammar nazi, you're a bit nazi! Anyone with the slightest knowledge of SATA knows what it means.. 600MB/s 600mb/s it doesn't matter..

Hi Linus, there actually are some (non Standard consumer) Sata Express SSDs available (if you have the Gold pooping donkey in your Yard). Just take a look at the *Intel SSD DC P3700*, a real Overkill, 40Gb/s Buswidth, read: 2800MB/s, write: 1900MB/s and it only costs 6000,- Euros.

I wouldn't worry about the 960, get in on a cheap 970 deal. The MSI 970 4G is dropping, and it's great. One or two 970's single or SLI is enough for 1080p and 1440p by far. Mine are overclocked past Titan X so not bad for $600 some.

I can't seem to find an answer on the web on what is this ATAPI or whether my device controller is SATA or IDE please if you can help me in anyway.

Thanks Linus keep these videos coming :D Cheers.

[@acwrobel1]

I think you should point out that M.2 can be either SATA or PCIe based. SATA express and PCIe 2x are about the same (theoretical 10 GB/s) but PCIe 4x blows 'em away (NEED PCIe 4x M.2 CAPABLE MOBO AND SSD).

[@JohannesTeichert]

Techquickie How about a video on SATA Controllers, like LSI's SandForce controllers? Or maybe just controllers in general? They can impact performance in a big way as well, and be a potential bottleneck that keeps PCI-Express SSDs from going much further beyond 1GBps (right now).

[@BrickTamlandOfficial]

linus, how is sata 6gigabit translated to 600megabytes? doesn't 750megabytes = 6gigabits and 375megabytes = 3gigabits?

[@Lemanon]

lel, Nerd

[@BrickTamlandOfficial]

***** in different settings you get different speeds so i dont see the point of assuming something is 600megabytes when theoretically it is 750megabytes under the right conditions.

[@wawaweewarice5302]

Brick Tamland kind of like how most 32bit systems support less than the theoretical maximum of 4gb ram, or how SSDs usually get less than the theoretical maximum listest speeds

[@frzsks]

768 MegaBytes = 6 GigaBits. But no it doesn't matter in consumer standards since people only divide by 1000 and divide by 10 instead of dividing by 1024 and 8.

[@PaulTheFox1988]

6Gbps equals 600MB/s because SATA uses what's known as 8/10b encoding. Basically this means that for every 8bits of usable data that is sent along a SATA connection an extra 2 bits are used for error correction. So when you take out that overhead, you end up with real world speeds closer to 600MB/s instead of the ~750MB/s.

[@512TheWolf512]

Please, Linus, cover the speeds at which RAM is operating, especially comared with sata express

riddle me this. Modern ssd can hit up to 570MB/s on sata 6Gb/s but if I divide 6000/8 (6G = 6000M) I get 750 MB/s. I understand that there is some ineffieciencies but 180MB/s or nearly a quarter seems like a bit much?

[@vorakwadh]

I am really confused over SATA Express port. I supposed SATA Express is faster than SATA III, right? And I notice most 2.5" SSDs come with a normal SATA III (6Gb/s) cable. Does that mean those 2.5" SSDs would support SATA Express transfer speed too if we just buy a SATA Express cable and connect it to mobo? Or SATA Express interface can only be utilized through M.2 form of SSDs? I'm going insane over this right now as I cannot find any 2.5" SATAe SSD for sale, and I wonder what's the point of buying mobo with a bunch of SATAe ports on board. I hope I asked the right question and that I can get the answer soon. Thank you very much!

[@Root174]

My answer probably comes too late, but for any future readers: SATA-Express has pretty much been replaced with M.2 NVMe (M.2 SATA uses SATA3) or PCIe. This is why you might have trouble finding any SATA-Express SSD's.

Can we please discuss whether or not SATA Express is dead before it started? I'm tired of seeing motherboards with SATAe ports that just take up other SATA slots or somethign else the board, most enthusiast boards have 2 SATA Express ports, but I have not seen 1 single SATA Express Drives. Plus, we have M.2 PCIe, NVMe, PCIe standard connections to SSDs (although not that much better, but better than SATAe). But I am getting annoyed seeing this as an option to SATA when we have Thunderbolt/TB2/USB 3.1/M.2 PCIe/NVMe, why would we want to use SATAe? just throwing this out there because I want MBs to start implementing other things than 2SATAe ports
