QUOTE(horns @ Aug 14 2015, 10:52 PM) nice hahaha... thanks for the recommendation bro! I refer to you as sifu as sign of respect, because last time I was here, you taught me alot about SSDs  yes, scs is the retail version. don't mind the relatively low 4k thing, it's good enough for general use. let's just say plextor is a retail brand (originally japanese, but later became a taiwan brand) and liteon is mainly for oem. they use the same ssd technologies. you can read more about their relationship from wikipedia. yes bro, imo scs-l9s is the better choice compared to other choices in terms of price/performance ratio. btw i'm no sifu. we are all learning.  |

QUOTE(horns @ Dec 20 2015, 03:55 PM) yes. at least to me, i call it best bang for bucks for many reasons. Couldnt agree more.however, i do hope all users to do their own research too. like any other review sites, don't just take our words for it. this is because we all have different needs, budgets, and expectations. to me, most mainstream sata ssds are good for common usage, for work, i prefer performance ssds. some others might think otherwise. Previously I also deadset on getting the 900s, but then there are someone claimed that Liteon and Plextor drives have high RMA rates at their shop. Hence got another recommendation from sifu, which is HyperX Fury SSD. After another round of researching and reading reviews, found that the 900s is still the better pick for me  so right now, am using the Liteon 900s 256GB as bootdrive, never felt so fast in my life before  (an HDD user all this while) |

QUOTE(goedemorgen @ Dec 22 2015, 10:00 PM) Is Crucial still a good brand for SSD? I'm thinking to get M550 120gb. Intel/ Crucial is one of the largest maker of SSD other than Sammy, Sandisk/ Toshiba |

QUOTE(horns @ Dec 23 2015, 12:52 AM) there will be lemons in all mass-manufactured goods. it's hard to avoid this one. that's why it's important to have good warranty and rma service. Hahah.... yea, thanks to your advice last time to make the jump to SSD yeah hdd is still good for storage for today's computer systems, but you just can't do anything productive with it as os drive, even if you have a good cpu and more ram. The reason I chosen Liteon is still because of the its reputation being the parent company of Plextor, and also shame on Kingston for ruining their reputation with the V300 series that made me lose confidence in them But yea, good ole' HDD is still good for mass storage, nevertheless  Currently the setup of my  is liteon 900s as the bootdrive, and a WD Blue 3TB to run games/ torrent/ storage  This post has been edited by rurushu: Dec 23 2015, 02:34 PM |

QUOTE(horns @ Jan 15 2016, 12:34 AM) lol ok hmm... does this only applies to Plextor drives? Or does it also affects Liteon drives? ALERT: although i like plextor drives, there is a high failure rate of plextor drives being reported recently (model and capacity unknown). the actual reasons of drive failure are also unknown. if you're an owner of one, back up your data from time to time from now on.
