Price not as lower, can use ShopBack to refund some

Is SSD SATA drives outdated? Hardly see any new one and it seem like many are dramless.

Is it better to just buy NVME SSD stick and use a converter to SATA so that I can reuse it in the future?

cause its cheaper to produce nvme drives now since
their nand controllers are similar in price.

Just so happens I'm in the market to replace an old desktop hdd with ssd. So naturally, can only go with sata ssd, unless I can invest in a pcie riser card or something else to use m2 ssd.

Seems like there are still quite a lot of options available for normal 2.5 in ssd drives. Prices are quite cheap.

So want to ask you all, anyone tried Silicon Power ssd? The price is quite cheap right now... $90 for 1TB... I'm not familiar with this brand. My ssd had been mostly sandisk, with one cb from kingston a400 and crucial (m2).

No need for super super fast speed for me, since this desktop will end up being sold off and people here don't really have appreciation for Samsung pro vs (insert economy brand) - ie the selling price for the desktop would be the same regardless of the ssd brand inside. So I guess I'm aming for the cheapest possible but still need to be sufficiently reliable.

theres some ppl selling it in shopee.

Unfortunately I can't wait to I return to Malaysia. So I'm looking at Amazon, with direct shipping to Qatar.

SP are good. I used much much earlier generation 8-9 years ago and newer A55 as example and works well. But this is for normal use (like other ssd), not for heavy endurance.

Thanks for sharing.

How did you get your SP, if you don't mind me asking? I must confess, I hadn't noticed SP on sale in Malaysia before.

Used it a lot in both my home & office
There are 94 units used in my office, April 2019 upgraded all PC & laptops in the office with Silicon Power Ace A55 256GB / 512GB SSD
6 units of Silicon Power Ace A55 512GB SSD & 2 units Silicon Power Ace A55 1TB SSD in my home ever since May 2019

None of them has had any issues

Samsung Evo 970 (non Plus) at the price of Adata SX8200 Pro
500GB
Good deal?

Your pick

Software = Samsung
Speed = Adata
Reliability = very likely Samsung as well
