Transcend MTE220S 1TB. Bought it on sale last week at RM539. Looks great. 2200TBW endurance rating too.

Where do you buy it?

Last week on Shopee. Seller is transcend.os . They raised the prices now.

This guy still selling at RM625.

According to the database, it has a DRAM cache, which is great:

Can anyone suggest me a budget m2 or 2.5"sata ssd under rm250 for my notebook?

Don't mind 500gb or 240gb storage. Only use to store some games and few medias only. Too many brand in lazada til not sure which one is better value

Crucial MX500 250GB at around RM219. SSD got price hike. I would advise spending a bit more for 500GB at RM315 for better GB per ringgit.

Thx.
Is there any different between in performance or reliability between m2 or sata type ssd?

None, just the form factor

Note that M.2 is only the physical form factor, but does not dictate the electrical connectivity of the slot - you can have either M.2 SATA/NVMe slot (or both), depending on the configuration

1. May I know , is there any website which show SSD failure rate test ? like how backblaze show ? https://www.backblaze.com/blog/backblaze-ha...-stats-q3-2019/

2. Anyone can recommend a good SSD which can be use for external 2.5 hard disk ?
The main requirement is Power Loss Protection (PLP) as most external hard disk may get unplug without safely remove drive.
Data may be loss.Speed is not so important.PLP and able to withstand rugged movement ?

I just bought adata sx8200 pro and it doesnt come with screw. 😐
My hp notebook doesnt provide any screw.

I am screwed now.

can go buy at hardware store
computer screw is the same as car screw, table screw, chair screw, screw your sister, screw driver, screw mcfak, scrouge mc duck.

Screws all ISO standard. You just need to know the diameter and length of the screw via using a ruler.
Either go buy one small pack from hardware store for RM2 or go ask random computer repair store to sell you one screw for RM10.

Of cos i know i can buy it at hardware store.
I am frustrated cos i cant install it now. 🙄
Was told/read it come with screw.

Found this.. still valid? other info have?

Google for review, aint that difficult,
dont buy dubiously cheap SSD, because might have poor performance (shitty flash controller and nand chip), no firmware support, no driver support, and the last and the most important one, no DRAM

quite good chart for reference, for me its missing the WD sn550 , for budget nvme its quite hot model eventot its missing dram
wd black should be same tier with 8200pro no? if disregard the price diff

i thought so too... sx8200 pro same tier with wd black just different with price.. cz the thread is was from year 2019 from reddit.. no info from intel nvme too.. so was thinking it could be outdated.... .

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?

I'd recommend 1TB of laptop HDD, mostly silent, if you dont wish to burn a hole in your wallet.
My 5 HDD are dead silent too, inside my casing, of course, one of the function of computer casing is dampening and reduce the HDD noise.

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..
