Samsung faster is pointless when speed capped by Sata 3. I think samsung only be useful for Nvme drive.

I think as long as got DRAM with a decent controller we should be fine. Kingston UV500 is best pricing now @ RM350+ for 480GB or crucial MX500/500GB @ RM370

---------------------------

I plan to get 1 SSD for non-ACHI Sata 2 old PC to use as OS drive+pagefile (only 4GB system ram). Anyone know what brand offer best price/GB? speed wont matter because on sata 2.

Kingston A400 480GB for around +-RM260

Both of them are crap for my eyes. Guaranteed no DRAM cache as well.

yeah, I was look for cheaper other than A400/Sandisk SSD plus. Seems both of them is the cheapest so far.

the sata 2 rig does not even support ACHI, unless will heavy load the SSD. I figure despite the handicap the access time is still much better than a latest top speed HDD.

i installed a 1st gen Intel 40GB SSD in my living room HTPC which has the basic G31 mobo with Q9300 cpu, the responsiveness is night and day difference compared to hdd, you won't regret it!

Anyone install games on DRAM-less SSD? Any stutter?

Reading wise is smooth no issue, so as a game library or archive purposes is OK. Stutter only happens during writing when disk is almost full

Anyone know why Samsung Evo 860 can reach read/write 2000MB/1800MB when run crystaldiskmark?

I assume this SATA SSD can only reach ~500MB Seq read & write. This result make me confuse.
