lol i am planning for similar configurations (intel optane memory + nvme ssd) to free up ram space used for primocache

i have read something about storemi from amd but it doesn't look good iinm

check with the bios. find AHCI keyword.

modern Dramless is not much different vs dram SSD. They use NAND to store the data map address instead of RAM.

the issue with dramless SSD is random read write over large area will take a performance hit. For example large area like writing >20GB of many small files randomly. Cause of this because the controller buffer is used up after large writing, causing it to re-read nand for data mapping.

but if u are replacing HDD for lightweight use, dramless SSD will perform just as fast as dram version.

Again it depends on your usage, if u keep writing like >20GB data, that is going to be an issue.

Normally it is recommended to buy DRAM SSD over dramless version. If you are buying large capacity, the price different isnt much about RM70+ extra only. But those low end capacity can be a different between 120GB vs 240GB. for example, a DRAM 120GB SSD cost as much as a 240GB Dramless SSD. In this case I rather pick the 240GB.

why u are so concern about SSD wear in 2018?

a 240GB dramless have 80TBW, thats 22GB per day everyday for the next 10years or 44GB per day for 5 yrs. If you actually write that much every day for 10yrs, you are not a casual user already.

MX500 prices are only good for 500GB and above. The 250GB is overpricing, it is real close to dramless 480GB.

valid argument for your personal opinion. I was talking about for people who are replacing HDD for old computer, for them it is a huge upgrade even dramless SSD.

for lasting longer it is pointless for most users, most user probably throw away the drive b4 they reach TBW unless they get lemon unit. If you are comparing TBW & capacity, A dramless SSD at twice the capacity @ same price will win those 2 points you mentioned.

once again it depends on the user usage.

oh you base on Sandisk ssd plus ah, thats is a shitiest tier among dramless SSD. You avoid at all cost, even A400 is significant better Sandisk dont even post TBW rating also, no reason to buy that model as it is not even cheaper.

I am actually gunning for the Crucial MX500 1TB soon too for my next purchase

Is kingston A1000 any good or is there better option /value for money? I'm planning to buy NVME SSD for my laptop. Basicaaly I'm a light user with occasional video editing project.

Thank you.

You mean the write endurance right? From what i can find 960GB version will have 600TB write endurance. I guess that should last me for a good 3 years usage.

Arrived today



Speed Comparisons:

ah thanks a lot for this tip

i will see how to cope with it later hehe (it's a plan for the next upgrade; i still have plenty of time hehe)
not bad
if you put op of 25% or more is it still slowing down?

it's a common problem for nand flash. to maintain speed, there are some but rare cases we do as far as 40% op (for servers; meaning 1tb drive, 600gb usable lol)

i just use a typical 10 to 15% op at home.

this is true. it's more practical to be used for servers, or professional work (those very intensive ones) for my usage, even for work, it's really a waste.

very nice

mine should be done with 1x 970 pro 512gb + 1x 970 evo 1tb

now i'm still finding time to actually do it

960gb SSD.... cacheless

https://shopee.com.my/PATRIOT-BURST-960GB-2...2106.1704224011
RM540
https://shopee.com.my/HIKvision-3D-NAND-SAT...0984.1437349111
RM435
China cap ayam
RM320
So next year qlc 960gb ~ RM199

This is the model I am using also. Overall not too bad.

hi guys, im planning to upgrade my laptop hdd, this type of ssd is worth to buy or i should save for more expensive one?
