I'm thinking to buy 240gb SSD for below RM200 for windows drive. Is Transcend MTS820S a good alternative to the Seagate?

M.2 SATA, no DRAM cache and 3 years warranty. Get something better...

Looks like trash for me.

Have anyone bought SSD from Amazon US?

I saw Samsung Evo 860 is going for USD350 plus shipping.  Seem cheaper than Malaysia.

How much is the import tax ya?
*
Assuming that is 2TB, yes it is cheap for RM1,433.88 .

$327.99 + $24.22 Shipping & Import Fees Deposit to Malaysia Details

What's your thought on getting it via Amazon? I see local retailer mostly selling at RM2.3k

Buying from overseas always has a risk. Especially the warranty part.

Anybody can recommend a 120gb ssd boot drive

want to replace my old sandisk x300s with dram and mlc

but after so many years, it feels like ssd tech became worse, full of dramless and tlc

MLC and DRAM SSD will cost a lot. Only Samsung 860 Pro 512GB at RM799 has the best GB/ringgit.

lazada anniversary today:

240GB Kingston A400 RM 114.00
250GB Samsung 860 Evo RM 202.50

75% More Expensive for the DRAM cache and branding hmmm. Worth it?
Hand itchy want the Samsung, but my cheapskate mind keep telling me no.
*
A400 has a chance of stutter. 860 Evo doesn't.

Seagate Barracuda 250GB is in the middle when it comes to pricing of that two.

I just killed Liteon 900S 256GB for the 4th time. This time no warranty left. Yeah, I will avoid this brand.

Not at least 6GB/s and I don't have X570 board yet. Waiting for it to mature. Maybe PCIE 5.0? Who knows.

Yup. RM1.1k for 2TB. Its a steal.

If and only if my board supports dual NVME SSDs that would be great :/

Looks like I'll have to settle with a SATA M.2 drive instead sweat.gif

Well, if X570 and Intel CPUs or Z370/Z390 isn't overpriced.....

Eventually you'll get there.

I'm shooting for Gigabyte X570 Aorus Master or Asus C8H.

You guys notices about SSD R/W speed can be reduce after installation many thing inside your drive.

When new.

After installed many softwares at 180GB of used storage.

Yes, thats normal. The disk map gets bigger everytime you add files to your disk. Background programs may also affect the performance.

The only disk with possible increased performance for adding files is Intel Optane 900P/905P. Its extremely pricey.

Sorry if this has been asked/shared before, does anyone has experience using the PCI-e gen 3.0 adapter for m.2 (2280)?

My rig is more than 6 years old on Intel i7-2600k on msi b75ma-e33 mobo using 128GB OCZ VertexII. Thought of just upgrading to a 1TB m.2 instead of spending more in upgrading the rig.

I got one adapter but dont have old board to test it for you.

Boot from older boards. Do it at your own risk.
