i was wondering, does Convergent Distribution (M) Sdn Bhd will honor the warranty if it purchased from US?
if no, then what makes you buy from Amazon with no warranty?

Like any other local distributors, Convergent will not honor warranty for items purchased overseas.
If anything happened (touch wood), I will need to send it back to Amazon or directly to Crucial.
Can save some money but basically I'm buying at my own risk. biggrin.gif

I see.. Thank you so much for the explanation~~

When I bought my MX500 at viewnet, I asked the staff about the warranty and was told they will only cover the 1st year.
They will however help you claim warranty after 1 year with a fee.
*
yes.. most of the shop is like that, usually I go claim myself unless like Samsung SSD need to go thru seller then no choice.

All SSDs these days has Terabytes Written limit warranty. Make sure you keep track of it. You can find out how much you can write by looking deeper into the specs.

if like using for OS or gaming disk we won't actually reach that TB Written limit, right?

it's a ram-based cache software, http://www.romexsoftware.com/en-us/primo-cache/index.html

in terms of ssd, it can boost iops and help reduce writes. however it's useful only if you have free ram. (16gb or above)

I have 64 GB of RAM, then my main os is Samsung 860
Evo, then my gaming ssd is crucial mx500, can I use this?? If yes how much I could I allocate?

Macha, if you can afford 64GB of RAM, you should've bought an NVMe SSD instead of SATA SSD laugh.gif

My motherboard doesn't support NVMe SSD.. LOL..
