now this is what i'm talking about

need to check this out when it arrives.

It's not for sale to the masses
The card will only be supplied inside MSI gaming desktops like the MSI INFINITE

ah too bad :/

maybe we can check out asrock's adapter instead, http://www.thessdreview.com/raid-enterpris...-and-932k-iops/

Hi guys,

I am on the market for a 240/250gb SSD and saw that the Intel 540s is selling at RM299. Is this a good buy compared to Crucial MX500 and Samsung 850 EVO? Both are selling at RM359 each. Thanks in advance.

if possible, don't save the extra few bucks, and get 850 evo. you get 2 more years of warranty.

if you're looking for entry-level ssds, i suggest you look at mainstream options, because of the following reasons:
1. the price gap between mainstream and entry-level is too small;
2. the performance gap between the two is relatively significant.

if you're really having budget constraints, well, entry-level is still fine for light usage, and they're still ok compared to hdd, when the usage is within their limits.

I strongly urge you two to get the Samsung 850 EVO
Their firmware updates is frequent & RMA services is top of the line

No doubt the price is higher but think of the 5 year warranty rather than other brands that only provides you 2 ~ 3 year warranty

ok thanks guys
I'll shall get the samsung 850 evo

you could consider 860 evo while you're at it. it's supposedly the successor of the 850 evo

860evo is like 23% more expensive than 850evo. yes internally 860evo has new 3d-nand, there is no significant performance gain.

ehhh didnt realize the price difference was that much

yeah well it really depends on how you see things. practically imo the older 850 evo is still ok.

860evo is out of reach for me and 850evo is already stretching my budget. I'll stick on getting 850evo since many praised it.

stretching budget a little for something that's worth your money is good. samsung 850 evo has been proven to be ok for years since its release.

Anyone know why Samsung reduce their new ssd warranty period.? 3 n 5 years vs 5 n 10 years on their evo n pro series

wait what?

where did you get such a news about 860 evo? please share with us.

we know 860 pro is offered 5 years of warranty by samsung, compared to 850 pro (10 years)

from their official sites:
860evo, 5 years - http://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/minis...onsumer/860evo/
860pro, 5 years - http://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/minis...onsumer/860pro/

800 series vs 900 series

oh got it. not sure about actual reasons why 960 evo gets less warranty period.
