The performance is nothing compared to the T3 right?

Doesn't look as rugged too :l
You're only going to use it as external drive. And the PenDrive Nano read & write speed is 350MB/s. How much faster do you want?
The Samsung T3 only goes up to 450MB/s, not that much different anyway

Pendrive Nano 512GB is sold at RM538
Samsung T3 500GB is sold at RM1239

The T3 is 700 on amazon including shipping..
Lazada & lelong
For an SSD, I would rather buy locally instead of buying it overseas
Samsung does not provide international warranty for their SSDs

Paid for a 256GB Samsung 850 EVO today to replace my MacBook Pro SSD today at Digital Mall but the shop accidentally gave me 1TB Samsung 850 Pro
Only realized it when I arrive home

Anyone wants a new & sealed 1TB Samsung 850 Pro for RM1.5K?
I don't need that much laugh.gif

Offcourse la. Bought new mah. Still sealed until now laugh.gif
Don't want to open it as 1TB for OS is way too big for my MacBook Pro
Already have 1TB in the 2nd hdd caddy installed in the original DVD drive
QUOTE(hayrol @ Sep 30 2016, 04:36 PM)
the when I'm looking to disk management it shows this.
That's normal, because the disk has yet to be initialized, it doesn't even have a partition table
Haven't you ever bought a new HDD / SSD before this? sweat.gif

Just pick GPT then press OK, from there you will be able to partition the drive

Also, why are you doing this in Windows? Just do a clean installation lar, when you're doing the Windows installation, Windows will automatically display the drive in the setup and partition it accordingly

You need UPS
This will help you a lot in the long run

But when there's a blackout, immidiately save everything and shut down your PC la, jangan pakai sampai battery UPS habis pulak laugh.gif

What is UPS?
Uninterruptible Power Supply
Something like emergency battery for your PC

You can buy a new unit for around RM150 ~ RM200
If you love your system then this is the only way. It's just a 1 time purchase

Just remember to save everything & shut down the system as soon as possible

sorry if this is not suitable here, but can you recommend me a good UPS for a pc with a corsair ax760? just enough for some time to shut down in case of a blackout. noob here about UPS, but i think best is to get one with power rating same or higher than our psu?  sweat.gif
Just take the basic one will do
I'm using 1 on my PC, but I only connect the PC itself to the UPS. When there's a blackout, I immidiately press the power button on the casing to safely shutdown the PC
I don't wait for anything, even when the game is still running

Monitor, speakers and everything else is connected to the main power source

I also use 1 UPS on for my UniFi BTU & router. This way, even if there's a blackout, I can still use internet to pass the time smile.gif

PS:
The battery on the UPS doesn't last forever, you need to replace it every 3 ~ 5 years depending on the surrounding temperature & how often you use it

hmm.gif I thought when blackout all the power to TM distribution boxes also no power hence no internet and no land line anyway.  hmm.gif
IINM, most of TM's distribution box use a different power source & has their own backup power
Cannot confirm much because I neither work with TM nor TNB to clarify further

But I'm lucky enough whenever there's blackout, I can still enjoy my Unipai on my phone / tablet laugh.gif

Just go straight for 960 Evo unless you can get 950 Pro a lot cheaper than Evo.

Pro has 10 years warranty, Evo is 5 if not mistaken.

In 5 years time, both of them will be obsolete.
QUOTE(invisiblelim @ Jan 3 2017, 11:46 AM)
Evo is 3 years..
Pro is 10 years..

erm...
Warranty:
950 Pro - 5 Years
960 Evo - 3 Years

Chips:
950 Pro - MLC
960 Evo - TLC

hi,i am new to ssd.....may i ask is this ssd?

wanted to get this,since i using sata2 only..but i read its external ssd..so a bit pening wat it mean
Yes, that is indeed an SSD, but it's an external SSD, it'll function like a normal external HDD

It doesn't matter if your system doesn't support SATA 3
Any SSD has the backward compatibility function so even if you install the SSD on a SATA 2 / SATA 1 platform, it will still work

Do a clean install instead
Then you have nothing to worry about
QUOTE(retroRT @ Jan 16 2017, 02:00 PM)
or is it because from ssd to ssd there shouldn't be any much difference to feel regarding normal daily usage?
No, you will not see any differences when switching AHCI SSD to another AHCI SSD

If you want to see real differences, switch to NVME, preferably Samsung 960 Pro, only then you'll see the difference biggrin.gif

That's why I said do a clean install if you're worried about someone shifting through your stuff
