^^ just about think to get a 960evo. now then wait 970 evo

good for you hehe

every generation of samsung evo ssds usually have enhancements and improvements over the previous. it's always better to get the latest if you had good budgets.

think to upgrade to nvme samsung 960 but lot people say
for normal usage
you would not see a big difference

yes. well actually you can feel the differences. however it's not significant enough. (only slight boosts in real-world normal usage)

Now entry level SSD are almost RM 1 per 1GB.

yeah, generally speaking. however it's still depends on what you're looking for: performance or capacity that is.

well, pretty sure SSD over HDD anytime if going for fast response PC like fast booting, fast open up some program/games etc..

sure

for common usage, it's really not a good choice to run os with hdd. too much time wasted mainly for waiting, just because you wanna save a few bucks.

hi guys ,I looking for a ssd with 240gb. may I ask,other than Samsung 850. which ssd you guys suggest? my budget is within 850's price. 😁 tq

i just checked briefly with c-zone's price list. there is only one in the similar price range that i will pick (note: this is personal preference), wd blue 3d-nand version. however, wd blue 250gb is myr 368, 3-year warranty; samsung 850evo 250gb is myr 362, 5-year warranty

the rest i didn't check because they are of different classes.

I bought crucial at viewnet just before your comment . price is 340 , warranty 5years. any comment? hehe

if it's a crucial mx500, i guess it's ok. it has better endurance rating than 850 evo. however the smi controller that it uses is usually performing poorly from past reviews. maybe things have changed.

all in all, since you have bought it, just enjoy its speed. within its limit it still performs fairly well

edit: most mainstream sata ssds actually have very little performance differences, since most of them have already saturated the limit of sata since few years ago. if the ssd uses 3d-nand, just look at the controller, presence of dram, endurance rating, and warranty period to justify your purchase.

okay thanks.
although I don't really understand everything you mention.,but seems like crucial not really bad.
speed not really a matter ,but endurance. haha

when you get to know more about ssds you will be somewhat picky on internals so just ignore them

crucial is actually a good brand for ssds. they screwed up few times in the past but my ancient crucial drives are still working fine hehe

I suppose to get a 850 evo,but out of stock. so I choose the 2nd choice on my list. wd blue is on third.
lets hope my mx500 won't disappoint me in five years. haha

don't worry about it. my crucial m500's are also 5 years old already, and they are still running fine

ok. will come here often since I have a ssd 😁

haha you're welcome even without one

haha hope you never feel I got too much of questions
