Which SSD would you guys recommend for Dell Precision M4800/T7810? 500GB is required.

Budget shoudn't be any issue as long not over 1.4k and usage will be more on graphic/rendering stuffs. Power loss protection? Maybe Yes. Disk encryption? No needed. Warranty wise 3-5 years. Thanks

Thanks for your suggestion. Will think about it. Cheers=)

Bro Horns!!

Any other SSD you can recommend other than Intel 730? Seems like this SSD no instock need orer 2-3 weeks from hikari85

Thx

I didn't know lingloong got sell Intel SSD. Lol.. didn't see any under his thread.

Haha, now under budget already. Samsung 850 Pro is out from the list due to pricing. Any goods for Crucial MX100? The SSD you recommend mostly is on MLC nand?

Sorry, very seldom post in thread here.. Thanks for the info

Yes, he's selling under his Intel thread (for every Intel products).
Many suggest MLC and many higher end products still using MLC is because it's a matured technology, it has been proven so with all the products released out there, 840EVO is probably one of their white ratz (sorry no offence here) for their next 860 Pro offering? Till they're mature enough, then those vendors will dive into it hard and deep.
If you don't care little differences of those performance, Intel 530 is the way to go, you won't miss those few hundred of miliseconds in everyday's task, not until you're doing IO intensive task (database testing anyone?).

ok. maybe you can consider crucial mx100 512gb and plextor m6s of the same size.

yes, the drives use mlc.
there are two obvious differences between mlc and tlc chips, speed and endurance. these are physical characteristics of nand chips that cannot be fixed by firmware. endurance is not a problem because improper usage void your warranty anyway when you exceed their tbw. speed wise, it's not night and day difference, but it's there. so for the same amount of money, i will still always go for mlc. (do check the mlc nand type. skip those mlc with lower performance)

there is nothing wrong with tlc drives for general use. (samsung has already pushed these chips to enterprise. you can find some of them @ hikari85's sale thread) in fact, 840 evo surprisingly outperforms many mlc drives with rapid mode turned off in real world usage. (yes, 840 evo are my test drives mainly to check differences between mlc and tlc drives. believe it or not, they do have differences. however, i have found some good use cases for them)

by the way i forgot to mention that a fix to the same slow read bug in older samsung 840 non-evo is also on the way.

edit: quotes are not working?! no there was a coding bug. fixed

Thanks!! Thanks. Is MX100 newer or MX550 newer? Any feedback on this? Since like it's not worth to go for Intel 730 SSD?
