Asus Rampage V Extreme M.2 Drive Support Options "What to buy"

[dpoverlord]

I really need to upgrade my storage and I know this board is finicky with M.2 drives.

Anyone know which are the best choices? I was leaning towards Samsung / WD as I want to get 4TB minimum.

Has anyone tried any of the 4th Generation drives? I know this board wont be able to take advantage of it, but this way I am future proofing when I upgrade (whenever that is).


I currently have
3 850 PRO 2TB SSD
4 WD 12TB SATA drives

I was looking at the:
WD Black SN750 4tb NVME or the SN850

https://www.westerndigital.com/produ...sd#WDS200T1XHE $369

The other option was the 980 PRO 2TB which is $150 off at $279

Q] I was curious if this board could handle it with the heatsink

Love any input of those who have tried newer m.2 drives, I had a 850 Pro Fail so this is a total Mind F**K and need a new one.
