Just got myself Crucial MX100 256GB, never knew my pc can load things so fast now 

Last time I always leave my PC on when I didn't use it for a while, now I just off lol! Can turn it on back very fast, so syok.

Thanks for ur comment. Then how about the bug fixed firmware update bug fixed for samsung? Is it i need to install the update if i use samsung ???

Thanks

idk if this is the right place to ask but here goes.

im planning to add an SSD into my workstation. (mainly for adobe illustrator and photoshop)
will there be bottleneck issues if I reinstall everything (my softwares) into the SSD but leaving the OS in my current  HDD?

too lazy to install the OS again.

how often do you reboot your pc? i can't remember the last time i turn this baby off.

Work PC, reboot? We shut down everyday to conserve electricity.
Not to talk about those high-end monster that choke water faster than we drink, save electricity, save the earth.

p/s: Server aside.. different story.

Just go LYP again (yeah, I kaki LYP, will visit there from time to time depend on mood, LEL).

Seems like Sri Computer's Crucial MX100 256GB is back with stock (may not be too much though).

But still I ended up settling for Transcend 370 due to being the cheapest 512GB around, sub RM700.

Hope I didn't made any wrong decision.

Can't deliver much, as my PSU is sent for RMA, currently testing it on my SATA2 laptop.

Some high pitch vibrating noise. Googled around and they say SSD may offer suffer from coil whine or resonance too.

Also, even for budget SSD, the built is a little too flimsy and light with the plastic case...

1TB version have 1000+TB endurance

Any SAS SSD out there with reasonable price? Looking to find a SSD for a company's server but the SSD price is one hell of a joke, yes it has good endurance (200GB @ 3.86PB) but it just don't justify the high price, I could buy a high-end PC with that price alone.

Is Enterprise SSD came out just so to earn more from "Enterprise"?

Erm, If that server uses SATA then I won't be headache right now, but it's SAS...  A darn evil that created to sucks money out of Enterprise market.

Not sure if reliable, but may be try if an sata adapter will work?

huh, something that we are looking forward, this is good news

hi guys, need some pointers here. this is my current SSDs condition;



is the drive still good? been serving me well for almost 6 years now, planning to get the intel 730 240gb as replacement if things go downwards too quick. is it a good choice? it has 5 years warranty which is good, but everyone seems more interested in the samsung series.

oh ya, sorry about that, ya i bought this back in 2010, when SSD prices were insane. i haven't been upgrading anything for a while, so decided to dump my cash on it. one of my best pc upgrading decision ever.

hello guys, i wanna know is it true that for crucial m500 every drive from 120GB-960GB only has a 72TB write life time? regardless of the capacity size?

i saw one user complain from another forum about the write life time, which should scale with capacity.

alright thanks for clearing it up

i'm going to get the 240gb variant at under rm400. is it a good drive?

kinda tight on budget so only able to buy ssd's under rm400 

will take a look at it 

that said, i will not see much of a performance difference between different ssd's right?

i can't afford higher capacities model for now so have to make do with 240gb at most 

how about crucial m500 240gb vs transcend ssd370 256gb, which will be better?

thanks, i've made up my mind and will be buying the m500. In 2 years time i will probably be buying another ssd with larger capacity and faster speed and this will go into my old laptop 

only used hdd so far, i'm looking forward to receive my ssd soon

Not bad... though I think the pricing looks awfully expensive for me....

Anyway, note that the prices are MSRP, which means that retailers will likely to price it lower than suggested pricing.

Wondering why Samsung as a big chip manufacturer themselves still playing with TLC instead of MLC or even SLC...

My point is that do MLC/SLC really much pricier than TLC even Samsung manufacture the chips themselves?

shhh its business point of view 

why would they sell you something that can last long, when they can sell you something that couldnt?

capitalism ho!

3D NAND is doing good there

but im still not convinced of it being TLC

thats the only thing preventing me from purchasing the 840 Evo, when i was first hunting for SSDs

i saw good speed and software support, but TLC NAND, then endless debate within myself

then wanted to opt for 840 Pro, but too pricey (that time was 400+ for 128GB)

then in the end, purchased Intel 530 at RM369
PS: wanted to try Corsair Force series but Intel seems more "reliable"

TLC will be the future of large and cheap SSD, i read the article bout it somewhere.
also larger SSD has longer life span if the SSD controller and the OS is doing it right.

HDD capacity can increase as large as they want as i dont really care, you dont wanna lose 60TB of data at once do you?  

is it my imagination, or is it that I see every time Samsung releasing a new SSD, they touted that it would be more "cost efficient", "cheaper to manufacture", "performs better with lower cost" etc etc but in reality, all I see is still their drives are still on the high side? Plus, Samsung is ocntroling all the process of manufacturing SSD, from the NAND production to the controller and firmware designs, and historically a company that can control all of the process by itself often manages to bring their products' cost lower compared to other collaborated manufacturers. But it just doesnt seem like it's the case here....   

Samsung, when can your drives with those awesome performances (on paper) can also matches the prices of those of MX100 or Ultra II?

Hmm.... I think rulling out that HDD are definitely going to die is a subjective matter, I think when talk about failing rate, yes, HDD has a higher falling rate, due to the spinning plater and the magnetic arm, there are also SSDs that failed, and there are HDD that really performs well.

So in my opinion, i still being conservative regarding the reliability of HDDs compared to SSDs. Just my 2 cents
