2gb out of 8gb should be safe haha

ramdisk suitable for those who got extra more ram. i still thinking whether to sell my ram & buy another 2x8gb kit.

Rm199 for liteon 128gb ok or not? My pc setup almost finish without harddrive or ssd only...if i using pc only 3 hour a day for web surfing and some game, how long the ssd would last?

don't worry that much just enjoy. let them take ur money & everything talk later.

The price for the LiteOn S900 is very good. The SSD will last longer than you expect so no worries. Anyways, mind sharing where you get to buy the ssd at that price?

don't worry about the lifespan. with that usage, plus proper ssd optimizations, it will last for quite some times. it's better to go for 256gb. it has more space for you.

Oh God, people need to stop being so paranoid about SSD life... like seriously, stop.

Haha, lastly the experiment came to an end...

But it do sounds some warning, particularly for Samsung's drive. Both their drives (TLC and MLC) suffered from spontaneous failure without pre-warning, that is something to take note bout though.

right imo the abuse of "limited lifespan" without giving a meaningful context of how long it is kind of the main reason of why people keep asking about this.

There are many such persons. I just hope they can one day get the facts right lol!

I think they will be retired long before that point of time is reached.

True, but that's after how many TB of writes? Their testing conditions were continuous, for nearly 18 months. In a typical consumer work load, even for those who torrent 24/7 will not reach that kind of writes any time soon.

Apply the same kind of continuous workload on a traditional HDD, it's quite obvious which will come out the winner.

I do get that the workload is far beyond what a normal consumer will do, but there are still 2 issues.

- there will be exceptional consumers which indeed have such an insane amount of write on daily basis. Alternatively there may be programs/malwares which assist users achieving such insane amount of write.

- the issue isn't about how much will fail, but the issuing of warning signal b4 failing.

- Users who need enterprise class workloads should go for enterprise SSDs. If they want to save cost because they cannot afford to pay for the premium, then who's to blame if something goes wrong? Same for those who uses consumer class HDDs for continuous workloads in tight server racks.

- It is people's responsibility to keep their own drives clean, no 2 ways about this IMO.

- I do agree that a SSD should signal something before failure. But you and I know that there are symptoms to a failing drive right before they actually just go dead. I do hope there are more comprehensive controllers in the future that will allow users to monitor their usage in exact through SSD apps.

what SSJBen said. yes a signal to warn drive failure is good, but imo a more practical way is to do backups. you don't write a lot in backup drives/storage, except for backing up stuff. for now, backups in hdd still makes sense.

If you tight on Budget.

Get 128GB + 1TB HDD or else 256GB which are more likely recommended. PS. RM199 Liteon 128GB where you get that price? Cheapest I saw is RM205.

Any news on the availability Crucial MX200 or BX100?

hey guys, is there any significant difference between the samsung 850 pro and 840 pro besides the price?

saw this article: http://www.lowyat.net/2015/03/ssds-in-benc...nyone-expected/

and wanna replace my laptop's hdd with ssd.

in general the differences are slight bumps of performance, warranty period, controller, and nand flash. additionally 840 pro is proven to survive for quite some times.

The ssd is not even a month.
How to fix this?

oh no, i hope this is not a big issue.
im particularly want to add that SSD

edit

after a quick research, i just found out that could be HD Tune error.
also the same would be problem if it was on HDD, with SSD its a different story.

here are some link to look at.
