Price will tell you something is fishy. Then check spec.

500GB
Good deal?

Your pick

Software = Samsung
Speed = Adata
Reliability = very likely Samsung as well

I found my adata xpg sx8200 pro use for boot drive or c drive write a lot where it write around 20-40Gb per day ....just for working, surfing and youtube and I did not switch off the pc....

if idling for whole day, it take around 7-10gb....check and monitor everything, no unusual behaviour

I'm holding back because current ones on sale does not max out PCIE 4.0 . Pay almost double the price, not getting max performance. I'll pass.

Yes, my board supports it.

there is an OEM nvme that available on mobo provided by samsung - Samsung PM981.. is it as good as 970 evo?  hmm.gif

That one is not PCIE 4.0. It is still PCIE 3.0. Yeah, its 970 Evo on disguise I think. Might as well get Adata XPG SX8200 Pro.

Oh, Corsair MP510 got price hike.

Looking to buy M.2 NVME SSD for my gaming laptop. Want the best price per performance and good longevity + good software support (if it's a necessary point in buying a SSD)

i)Samsung 970 EVO vs EVO PLUS (What's the difference between EVO & EVO PLUS?)

ii)WD BLACK SN750
iii)XPG SX8200 Pro vs XPG GAMMIX S11 PRO (Looks the same in terms of specs to me)

iv)HP EX950

Note: All of them are 1TB variants.
*
Evo Plus replaces regular Evo. Obviously Plus is better.

XPG SX8200 Pro has the best price/performance. Make sure got proper heatsink for it. Stock heatsink barely cools it down.

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.

Adata XPG SX8200 Pro no longer in recommendations.

Switched to slower hardware.

Not by a long shot. Transcend MTE220S, PNY CS3030 and Corsair MP510.

Samsung 980 Pro and upcoming new PCIE 4.0 SSDs for PCIE 4.0.

so now guess the crappy phison a no brainer for boost unless 970evo plus drops in price.

Yup. At least most of Phison based SSD TBW ratings are high.

Samsung thinks their tax is worth it. We can't do much about it.
