That’s the main reason I stick with their old product

it's good to be cost-conscious.

tbh, there is no need to go for 900 series if ssds are only used for office/gaming/home use imo. mainstream sata-based options is more than sufficient. go for capacities rather than speed.

Stretching the budget to go from 850 EVO (AHCI) to 860 EVO (AHCI) = Definitely no need. You will not see the difference between these 2 at all

Stretching the budget to go from 850 EVO (AHCI) to 950 PRO (NVMe) /960 EVO (NVMe) /960 PRO (NVMe) = Definitely yes. But only if your device supports NVMe protocol

haha yes for 850evo to 860evo, unless you wanna leverage on the doubled tbw that 860evo offers (most do not need to consider this because for common usage, it will take many years to deplete the original excpected tbw)

for ahci to nvme, if you like speedy everything, yes do it. there is a definite performance gap between the two. however for cost-conscious groups, i suggest to do it when you really need it (e.g. for work purposes that require more r/w/iops), because there is no significant improvements in user experience for common usage.

How much different the price between 860 and 850?

850 EVO 250GB - RM348
860 EVO 250GB - RM448

I would save myself RM100 and go for 850 EVO. lol

if bundle puchase I might get that cheaper 850 evo

what is the price for m.2 2280 size?

I don know y Samsung ssd in Malaysia so exp.
The price here in aus
850 evo 250gb AUD129
860 evo 250gb AUD125

with direct conversion of currency, that's not the case i think.

however it's interesting that 860 evo is slightly cheaper in Australia. good for you guys

Cari sendiri la

mana tau you have the info.
thanks anyway.

nice thanks for the info

nice well, you should have started to use one long time ago. it's really helping to save you a lot of time.

seems like SSD are getting closer to RM1 per 1GB.

in general, yeah almost. however it depends on the criteria that you're looking at. i am hoping for the same to happen in the mainstream criteria hehe

My laptop SSD temperature is almost 85degC, is this normal?

no. the safe temperature should be around 70c. which ssd is this?

Liteon...
