So hear this, the sn 750 se is a pcie gen 4 drive but has specs of a gen 3 drive, while the Samsung 980 is a gen 3 drive but has slightly faster write speed.
My question is there a benefit of the sn750 se to be a gen 4 drive despite the low performance ?
Wouldn't the pcie gen 4 controller and interface draw more power, rendering the drive less efficient than the Samsung 980 ?
Why would they even put a gen 4 controller on a slow drive anyway, just for marketing appeal ?
Am in the market for an affordable gen 3 drive and my research led me to those two drives, and am sure i would be happy with either, but the diffrence in interfaces despite same performance just caught my curiosity.
