Which SSD’s are recommended for Threadripper-based motherboards?
In general, we would recommend Samsung 970 or 980 PRO SSD’s for maximum performance. We’ve tested a variety of SSD’s with Threadripper motherboards, and have observed that the performance of Phison based NVMe SSD’s varies drastically, depending on the type of and amount of memory installed into the system. However, Samsung drives are able to maintain consistent levels of performance, regardless of the type or amount of memory installed.
