You can check many online reviews, and most of all, 560mbps in such a price, you better get Kingston HyperX 3k, cost 10-20 more only, save you from headache.

Reliability over price bro.

A copy of Newegg's user review: Reviews on other e-retailers forums showed this to be a future brick. This model uses inferior nand technology (TLC).

Some reviews giving gold award for this model. a bit confusing if gold still no good stuff.

Some reviews also said Kingston line-up is so-so. Probably kena minta derma topup for liteon 900s.

Uh... This one is on you la, coz I got use the 240gb HyperX 3k one, all good, not a single problem. Also got read many review before buy, and avoid the award kind of review if u can, coz they get paid, got Newegg, or Amazon or any online retailers, you will get unbiased reviews=)

i see. that's good to hear. thanks

i might, but not now bro.

please check out the price list from retail and garage sales. there are new stuff, like samsung 750.

if it's an intel-based mobo, check your mobo manual and identify the intel sata ports. it's better to connect your ssd to intel sata ports.

no, the nand chip are not hot. it's the controller that gets hot fast under certain conditions. for common usage, it should be fine.

hi, looking for a new ssd. can any sifus here recommend one best per buck for me? prefer bigger storage, i dont mind slower speed, at least average compare to other top brand.
brand: any brand
budget: RM600

HI, by big capacity I guess you mean 480gb-512gb..(?)...most of all, reliability/price must be well balanced, otherwise you are going to regret your investment xD... So Kingston SSDNow V300 would be the best choice, but with one condition, you have to add about the 50-70 more, for a 480GB. Has many positive reviews for its price/performance.

The Nand that we are waiting for is here.

The 500GB is cheaper than Kingston HyperX =o

Mine is incoming and stuck in Kastam.

Actually have you considered that the Intel 750 does come in 2.5" form factor also like normal SSDs but just slightly thicker by about 15 mm? They also usually come bundled with U2 Mini SAS to M2 adaptor. Saves you a PCIe slot.

But the Intel is slightly slower than the Samsung 950 Pro though.

Initially I was tempted with the SM951 that was originally meant for OEMs but compare that to the Samsung 950 PRO which is meant for retail, it has limited 5-Year warranty or 200TBW limited warranty. But 3 years warranty for the SM951 is still not bad.

I would suspect that it's a X99 board.

How long does Kingston take to RMA?

I just bought the Samsung 950 Pro in 512mb anyways. Better pricing than the Intel 750.

So the setup is;

Samsung 950 Pro 512gb - Boot
2 x OCZ Agility4 512gb RAID 0 - Speed drive
2x Crucial M500 1tb - Bulk Storage

Now just waiting for the Icydocks to arrive.

thanks for the person who replied to my inquiry earlier..

I have new question.

I'm thinking to replace my operating system drive to SSD. currently I'm using veloci 150gb as my OS drive. planning to get 240gb SSD to replace it. I will raid the veloci later on with my other veloci.

the question is, which brand did u guys go by priority. I see plenty of brands available in the market. so I'm a bit undecided. planning to get used SSD.

shed some lights guys.

Nice. You got yours from Ramcity? What mobo are you running it on?

On another note, the RM is now a little stronger than USD and AUD compared to a few weeks ago.

Got it from Kogan.

Running it on an Asrock X99 WS. Just waiting on a Xeon processor and my DDR4 ECC Registered RAM to arrive as well.

If you're new to ssd, you should directly grab those mainstream brand such as Kingston, Corsair, plextor or ocz. It's reliable, but for me, getting the ssd for the first time I went for Kingston, been using its pendrive for years. Reliability at its finest. And also, don't read biased reviews on website, go and seek reviews at online retailers, there you will get mad guy, happy guy, and the so so guy with their own words.

Yea im looking at Kingston SSDNOW 240gb, ocz and crucial.

im on sata 2, i dont think i can fully utilize the true speed of ssd that requires sata 3. Old mobo, P45.

But at least it much faster than hdd.

Mission critical workstation? Not planning on overclocking?

It's just my home PC. I usually build a new PC every 5 years or so, but when I do I aim for absurd overkill to ensure it'll perform for a long time to come.

Not planning on OCing, but unlike what people are led to believe ECC RAM can be overclocked by 15 percent without issue. If you're going higher than that, yes, probably better off with a Core I7 running standard DDR4.

Just bought 240GB HyperX Fury from lazada. Get it below RM300 using voucher.

Samsung or other brands are over my budget.
