Planning to buy a 1tb ssd for my laptop to replace the puny 5400rpm drive. My OS is installed on pm961 128gb ssd. Is it okay to use bx500? It is around 100+ cheaper than mx500. The drive will use for torrenting but i not full time torrent

QUOTE(sanderz @ Jan 9 2020, 02:16 PM) BX500 is pretty garbage. No DRAM cache, plastic shell. Basically lower performance and runs hotter, that extra RM100 is worth it for the long run if you choose the MX500. Okies.. it would be okay to torrent using mx500? |

QUOTE(EBBattlefield @ Jan 9 2020, 06:54 PM) why u wanna torrent off SSD? No la.. using laptop only got 1 sata slot.. the OS drive is nvme pm961 128gb only.. i think cannot change if not will kacau the windows license. Now the sata slot is 1tb samsung 5400rpm drive.. so plan don kacau the os drive then have to change the sata drive lo.. or u guys got better recommendation? not wrong, but why waste high speed storage on something limited by internet speed? unless you got gigabit broadband at home like worst korea la  |

QUOTE(EBBattlefield @ Jan 10 2020, 08:13 AM) lel..... OS slot kacau only...... I've done it 2 million times now..... With Windows 10 and 8, just plug in new Drive, install OS, no need get license key etc.... if you are scared, can use softwares like showkeyplsu to save the cd key first prior to mass purge QUOTE(sHawTY @ Jan 10 2020, 08:59 AM) Windows 8 & Windows 10 license keys are not stored inside the disk ok thanks.. maybe i outdated already lol.. last time i change ssd they keep say my windows not licensed. Btw, can i do direct clone? I saw 1tb mx500 nvme price macam sama saja mx500 sata.. maybe straight upgrade the drive better..It's stored within the BIOS chip Do a clean install on a new SSD & Windows setup will automatically extract the key from the BIOS chip is it okay to do clone? just use those clone software can already ka?

QUOTE(Benefon @ Jan 13 2020, 07:49 AM) Your desktop laptop fast enough just few hours maybe just 1 hour already settle many software installation from you. yea i know but pain in the ass to do all the setting back etc.. and driver all need install again also.. next time when i free i will do so. i think mx500 should be suffice, next upgrade nvme to 1tb The rest like data can backup to Google drive or OneDrive else  i see game loading speed nvme and sata ssd no big difference compare hdd to ssd, so should be okay la..This post has been edited by ben3003: Jan 13 2020, 12:16 PM |
