Then I'm going to get Samsung from garage sales.

My pc hang again now so I guess can't be helped. Will make it as secondary disk for games

.. that's really bad :/ good luck hunting man

grabbed samsung 256gb ssd for rm440. i could get rm420 from lazada after discount but just couldn't wait any longer

good for you

hopefully all are good for you after this. i recommend 850 evo because here we have several machines running on it. never had issues before. (about 2+ years already; it's the same for kingston hyperx fury)

Hope so.
And thanks for your help

Btw do you run overprovisioning?

yes i do. usually 15% for normal usage; at least 20% for work purposes. op is useful when the user-accessible capacity is almost full.

op helps maintaining speed/performance of ssd, since its controller can have direct access to confirmed unallocated space for its tasks, instead of spending more time to free up space for same tasks. it also helps to reduce write amplifications.

cool i will do that next

yeah op is for nand-based ssds in general. however new techs like intel optane will not need this anymore.

.. these days it's like marketing will fail if there is no RGB leds built-in for pc products :/

hi guys,

any recommendation for a ~500gb ssd that will be used to install and store games? preferably cheaper ones and using sata6 port

500 GB Samsung EVO @ USD 140.

scout the garage sales section and see if you can get any oem ssds. i found one good stuff but it's 1tb, https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4464131

RM 990 around USD 24x. This one good & same performance with EVO/PRO? EOL

it's 850 evo equivalent. (the last time i checked they use same nand chips physically)

well, it's dirt cheap. the usual 850 evo 1tb is around 1.6k. eol yeah, but that doesn't affect its performance. (btw the seller claimed that they offer 12-month warranty, one-to-one exchange)

Not too shabby. The latest one PM871b (64-layer V-NAND)

http://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/produ...N1T0HAJQ?ia=831

that is pretty cheap for a 1TB but it's kinda out of my budget at the moment. I was thinking more like 600 or below, Samsung's 850 Evo 500GB is unfortunately out of the range as well. I noticed that mainstream brand ~500GBs would be around 7xx - 9xx

I'm currently using a Lite-On PH3-CE240 for my games so I guess I'm ok with such quality of a SSD since they didn't give me any problem so far.

yes that's the latest well, as long as they're readily available, then it's a good choice too hehe

how about sk hynix oem? https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4314164 myr 450

i never used this brand before so i'm not sure about its performance.

I'm using Kingston RAM, which came with Hynix. I don't trust Hynix DRAM, but I wonder why this type of OEM can simply sell?

I bought used WD10EZEX from LYN which lasted for a few months only. I'm scared with LYN seller, especially HDD/SSD.

If read the review SK Hynix Canvas SC300 still quite decent with MLC & 2D NAND. RM 90 bucks different I personally go for the Samsung TLC V-NAND.
