Generic NVMe SSDs
WHY WE CHOSE IT
"Brute force loading speeds for large open-world games. If one drive fails, data is lost, but for a game library, it's an acceptable risk."
We utilized 4 low-cost NVMe drives in a RAID 0 array via a PCIe expansion card. This aggregates their speeds, theoretically quadrupling throughput for loading massive game assets.
Technical Specifications
| Configuration | RAID 0 (Stripe) |
| Total Capacity | Varies (approx 1-2TB total) |
| Read Speed | Aggregated (~6,000 MB/s) |
| Redundancy | None (0) |
| Interface | PCIe Expansion |
Optimization Notes
When installing the Generic NVMe SSDs, ensure you follow our specific configuration guide. Standard installation methods often result in suboptimal performance or higher latency.
Component Procurement & Testing FAQs
Crucial advice on buying used enthusiast PC hardware, silicon binning, and thermal maintenance.
Silicon degradation manifests as instability at stock or mild voltages. Test the CPU by running OCCT CPU / Linpack at stock voltage; if errors occur within 10 minutes, the silicon has experienced degradation.
For used graphics cards (especially OEM or previously mined units), check VRAM junction temperatures and inspect HWInfo64 for "PCIe Bus Errors" (WHEA 17/19).
Replacing dried thermal pads and applying PTM7950 to the GPU core restores used hardware to factory thermal performance.
Always check WHEA errors in HWInfo64 and verify voltage stability on second-hand hardware.
