I’ve only seen this discussion on the Framework subreddit. Why is this such a big deal for the buyers of the Framework? I’ve preordered my 16 and chose the SN850X because it’s a solid SSD that’s worked great on my desktop, has a great track record, and smooth firmware updates. It was also the only Gen4 when I chose it.

But, this is the first subreddit where I see multiple posts about finding the absolute most powerful efficient and fastest SSD known to man weekly. I really don’t understand why it appears that such a large group of people care about this.

I’m a developer and I can totally get carried away in fighting for that last 0.5% of performance in areas where – practically speaking – it doesn’t matter. Is this just a case of this in regards to NVME selection? If so, cool. But, it just seems like many people are overthinking this.

Have you looked at other Reddit posts concerning this same topic?
