I think the Crucial MX500 has something called "partial power loss protection" which Samsung 860 EVO doesn't have. In this case, would the Crucial MX500 be a better choice? Especially since it's also quite a bit cheaper.

Kingston A400 480GB for around +-RM260

Patriot Burst 480GB for only RM260 before any discounts. https://shopee.com.my/aoneplus/1632035407?v...82eeb7c36d5d5c3

The Patriot ssd have TLC 3D NAND with 32mb DRAM cache though. https://www.google.com.my/amp/s/wccftech.co...n-a-budget/amp/

crucial has a promo atm 799-899 for 1tb..

although hmm having had mx100,mx200,mx300 and now mx500

mx300 seems to be better...

need to test both drive empty..

I do a lot of remux, encodes and initial torrent on da 1tb drives of mx500 and mx300
mainly tv shows/movie web dl

so the prep on da script is especially on tv shows.. download, unrar, remux, save on a HDD, plex refresh.
movie web-dl are same except theres no unrar...

on tv shows below 1gb.. not much diff between both.
however above 1gb.. its slower on mx500.. initiall mx500 suppose to be my web-dl movie drive.. but seeing this.. i made it as tvshow drive.
tested few times already. even tested on the same port the mx 300 ( currently mx300 handling movie web-dl and mx500 on tvshows) before mx300 was handling both.

how much slower..
hmm for tvshows say around 1.2gb.. on my system to do the download (20-30 sec) with that script running 1min on mx300..
mx500 can sometimes end up 2 mins...
movies this takes a bit longer because of the reencode of the ac3 move for dual track AAC/AC3 Passthrough.. so say a 4.5gb movie.. mx300 to do the whole thing download ( 2 min) ( remux, audio encode etc.. ) mx 300 3 min.. mx 500 4 min...

its always 30sec to 1 min longer.

too slow...

this dude.. by the time i finish that muxing etc.. already hit ratio upload ratio 2-3..

please check product specs for patriot burst ssd 1st before give any comments…🤦

is even cheaper than the 11.11 sales.. what the...

this is good news; thanks for this!

now i have a purpose to pay lyp another visit lol

i rush to buy 1 samsung 860 evo 500GB before sst worried about price hike at 600, now is only 449.. haha..

seriously, this one is really attractive. however i might go for something that is closer to my needs

i still have 2x crucial m500 960gb running fine in one of my systems. i got them for 1.3k myr each previously (compared to mx500 now, the price drop is real lol)
haha it's ok also. at least that 860evo can last you for quite some time already

I bought my 950 Pro 512GB 3 years ago at RM2K+

Really just depends on your usage. I batch post process a shit ton of images everyday, an nvme drive makes it just so, so much faster than a SATA 3 SSD. Like the time saved equates to money and that money pays for the drive.

I find it pointless otherwise to use an nvme drive to say like store and load games. The difference between nvme and SATA3 for game loads is less than 5% and that's within margin of error.

hello guys, im new here.
i was thinking of upgrading my ancient 5400rpm 1tb hdd to sandisk a400 480gb for rm268 at shopee. is it worth upgrading now or should i wait?

in real life, not all dramless ssds do the above, at the right price. if you looked closely, crucial mx500 does add dram cache in their 1tb and 2tb models. (imo maybe as a safety measure)

it's no wonder you said there is not enough pci-e lanes for you haha

What is the best bang for bucks or value per performance for 250GB of SSD? Already on Samsung bandwagon long ago, but wanna get another SSD for my second laptop that is running SATA 2 only. lol
