kingston a2000 m.2 nvme 1tb
adata xpg sx8200 pro m.2 nvme 1tb

price wise, kingston is around RM60 cheaper than adata

buy from amazon very cheap

I do find that Orico enclosure is a little more hassle for SSD installation, where you need to:

1. Take out the entire board
2. Mount the SSD, align the holding washer between the SSD and board, then screw on the locking screw
3. Install back the board


Not a really good experience for someone with larger hands. I wish I had known this before I bought it, otherwise I'll pay a little more to get a UGreen enclosure (which is more hassle free).

How often do you switch the M.2 SSD in the enclosure?

a few times.. while cloning/migrating between different sizes of SSD (not doing a good job in the first place)

Did you buy your SX8200 from Amazon ?

I am looking for a good deal 1TB for sale. But they dont ship it to Malaysia

Saw one the other day for $80 USD (sx8200 1tb)

Yes SX8200 is best value for money according to Reddit too

Im just comparing the price. Never bought ssd from amazon.
Today got black friday some items on sale. Maybe u can check.

If you want cheap stuff but worry about warranty, then you shouldn’t buy from Amazon.

For warranty purposes, you need to send it back to them.

1tb QVO $88 + shipping https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Inch-Interna...d=ATVPDKIKX0DER

USD $110 plus shipping for samsung 860 1TB

You want peace of mind, buy local unit. You get full warranty coverage from local distributor
You want cheap, buy imported unit. You get no warranty coverage from local distributor, have to send it back to the US. You will have to pay for shipping charges & it's not gonna be cheap

Anyway those ssd very durable one.
Just make sure don’t get over Budget brands

My old laptop is asus n45sf, I'm thinking of replacing the optical drive to hdd caddy and use SSD in the caddy,

and my question is its worth to buy samsung SSD 860 EVO 500GB at price RM280 at shoppe after less?

store name samsungmemory.os which i believe is official store for samsumg memory

It's better if you put the SSD in the original HDD compartment instead of the optical drive compartment because some laptops has the optical drive speed locked to SATA 2 speed instead of SATA 3
Move your HDD to the caddy then install the SSD in the main HDD compartment

Noted, didn't think of that, thx for head up
