I saw , silicon power but now ssd is very common , something similar to decades ago where USB thumbdrive with a bunch of brand.
Don't know which is better.

Does it have DRAM or PLP ?
Thanks , I'll try and find a best option and choose which I think is less hassle to tweak.There is a question , some website mention not to fill up the HDD to 75% but what if I fill up in this kind of way ?
SSD 500GB with 2 OS.
Windows 7 -150GB fill up with 85% 130GB
Windows 10 - 350GB fill up just 20% 70GB

If I am running windows 7 all the time , will it cause a slow down ? since it's a separate partition ? or even leaving an empty partition ?

2. Google again , some recommend not to move temp files where temp files is where you access your data but if you didn't point to other location , lets say you unzip/unrar a file , all the cache will drop to temp file too.Sometimes, when installation a software large enough like Office or Adobe software , all unpack are being place into temp files.
If setting on SSD , unpack and install software will be at SSD speed but if point to HDD , install/unpack software speed = hard disk speed.
Confuse here.

3.Will place an extra fan , what is your SSD temp on idle and load ? Not sure this article still relevant , putting ssd off shelf or high temp will loss data ?

Can recommend any application incase of recover lost data https://www.pcmag.com/roundup/353756/the-be...covery-software
All are required to pay.
Thanks , I read through the SSD part optimize.Some window system also use virtual memory.I would really like if there is an application that will help to optimize or tweak windows 7 or 10 but worry it'll mes up with windows setting

waste money? in terms of stability and durability, I still choose Samsung 860 evo for client office PC upgrade

Just ran test, same 

no woh...will try install it

but don't want to test it with cystalinfomark…..my ssd read/write already 1.1TB....the test use very high read write....

depends from which type of ssd u clone from and to 1st.......if from m.2 sata to m.2 nvme, i don't think u can make it, i had try it clone from 250gb samsung evo 860 m.2 to 512gb patriot scorch nvme, but can't boot up normally

from m.2 sata clone to m.2 nvme, can do it successfully without any issues? I tried few software Aomei backupper, Acronis true image, Macrium Reflect but failed…as I suspect is the sata controller driver

Hi guys, generally how long does ssd's life span last?
My ssd just died without any notice. So probably going to buy a new ssd. my laptop is y580 , quite old, only have sata and msata port.

I'm thinking of either buying a cheap 2.5" ssd to tahan first ( looking at around 100 gb).
or just buy a 500gb m2 and use converter until i change laptop/pc.
More info here:

as long as you can boot from USB drive.
nothing stopping you from booting windows from your 64GB Kingston Pendrive....
but USB Speed....even USB 3.0....

PCIE>SATA>IDE>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>USB>Pigeon carrier

USB3 as fast as SATA only when using proper drives.
pair a shit hard drive with shit controller still shit.
SATA is guaranteed performance

Found this.. still valid? other info have?

I'm looking at the Crucial BX500 1TB SSD for media storage purposes (can't stand the noise of HDD) which is close to RM500. Anything cheaper or of better value?

The 2.5" 5400rpm HDDs?

The biggest culprit is my WD Black 1TB followed by my newly bought Toshiba N300 4TB. Both exhibit this constant "humming" noise even after being dampened by my Fractal R6. It's the HDD making the noises because after I unplugged them my pc became dead silent. I think the constant noise are the "operational noise" of the HDD spinning.

I could replace my WD Black 1TB with a cheap 1TB SSD but what am I going to do with the 4TB HDD? I considered turning the 4TB drive into an external HDD and place it further away from my desk and just connect to my PC via USB 3.0 cable..

will u avoid Silicon Power?

It's not the front door panel for sure. It's not rattling and not much vibrations actually.
Thanks! A little worried about the heat management as the place I put my router is lacking ventilation.
I sit right next to the PC actually. The case actually manage to dampen a lot of the high frequency noise, now what's left is the lower frequency.

I'm using the ASUS RT 68U router. Getting 3 out of 4 bars from 5Ghz. Speed test result: 180-200 Mbps DL, 350 Mbps UL, 6ms ping. My Internet ISP is Time rated at 800Mbps

p/s: I just remembered that I installed several games on the HDD lol. Is it possible to play it over WiFi or over USB 3.0 cable (if I decide to turn my HDD into an external drive and connect to pc via cable)?

HI, is TOPMORE SSD reliable brand?
Come across in Prestomall :-
https://www.prestomall.com/productdetail/to...-480gb-69406253

Got good offer for Patriot burst ssd.
Is this brand good enough?

Don't bother doing drive cloning; you are much better off backing up your personal files and making a proper clean install of the OS instead

Smaller SSD have shorter durability due to repeated read and write (or program/erase... PE cycles). So recommended to get 480GB or larger
