Planning to buy a 1tb ssd for my laptop to replace the puny 5400rpm drive. My OS is installed on pm961 128gb ssd. Is it okay to use bx500? It is around 100+ cheaper than mx500. The drive will use for torrenting but i not full time torrent

QLC vs TLC....

Performance wise, should go for MX500 TLC.

BX500 is pretty garbage. No DRAM cache, plastic shell. Basically lower performance and runs hotter, that extra RM100 is worth it for the long run if you choose the MX500.

Okies.. it would be okay to torrent using mx500?

why u wanna torrent off SSD?
not wrong, but why waste high speed storage on something limited by internet speed?
unless you got gigabit broadband at home like worst korea la

No la.. using laptop only got 1 sata slot.. the OS drive is nvme pm961 128gb only.. i think cannot change if not will kacau the windows license. Now the sata slot is 1tb samsung 5400rpm drive.. so plan don kacau the os drive then have to change the sata drive lo.. or u guys got better recommendation?

lel.....
OS slot kacau only......
I've done it 2 million times now.....
With Windows 10 and 8, just plug in new Drive, install OS, no need get license key etc....
if you are scared, can use softwares like showkeyplsu to save the cd key first prior to mass purge

Windows 8 & Windows 10 license keys are not stored inside the disk
It's stored within the BIOS chip

Do a clean install on a new SSD & Windows setup will automatically extract the key from the BIOS chip

ok thanks.. maybe i outdated already lol.. last time i change ssd they keep say my windows not licensed. Btw, can i do direct clone? I saw 1tb mx500 nvme price macam sama saja mx500 sata.. maybe straight upgrade the drive better..

is it okay to do clone? just use those clone software can already ka?

MX500 manada NVMe, SATA only
M.2 SSD comes in both SATA & NVME even if they look exactly the same

Go for ADATA SX8200 Pro if you want a cheap 1TB NVMe SSD

Also, yes you can do direct clone but clean installation is the best. Download the latest Windows 10 ISO from Microsoft & use Rufus to prepare the installer
Refer to my signature on how to prepare a USB UEFI Windows 10 installer

u want clone also can....
but my personal preference is to purge everything from the past!
no more jedi, no more sith.

Rey, take my hands!

There's no NVMe version of MX500, it's the M.2 SATA form of MX500. If you clone you will need tools to fix the bootloader / EFI partition because even after cloning they will have different signature key or something, else Windows will say something wrong with startup and need to repair.

Clean re-install is always recommended.

RM429 | Samsung SSD 860 EVO SATA III 2.5 inch 250GB / 500GB | | https://s.lazada.com.my/s.ZCn6l

RM289 (CNY BRAND MEGA OFFER) 13-15 JANUARY
RM4.50 Delivery
RM293.50 Total

Is the price good, ok2 or could be better?

the price is 359 vro
so it's good price.

thinking want to get WD Black SN750 1TB.... any feedback on this?

How much does the drive cost though? Still my recommendation goes to the SX8200 Pro unless that WD drive is really cheap

Overpriced

ADATA SX8200 Pro 1TB @ RM605
Western Digital SN750 1TB @ RM918

Although not as overpriced as Samsung 970 Pro

i was really thinking go for sx8200 too

adata sx8200 pro really cheap during 12.12..... now is freaking expensive...

https://www.lazada.com.my/products/wd-black...MwgUwu&search=1
after apply code.. less than rm800

How much during 12.12?

I'm deciding between adata sx8200 pro 500gb & samsung 860 evo now.. price almost same.. but quality not sure... should i just take whichever cheaper?
