What do you by mean what? The 14 day return option or the warranty on the parts, eg. some ssd got 3-5 year warranty or etc?

Just... don't get a cheap part and hope it will last...

Also if you want to RMA how? what if amazon say you pay the shipping, fly back to US and back to MY you can buy another SSD already, probably.

i used a400 480gb for my games and VST plugins. free space around 30%. games i didnt notice any problem BUT for music production, any plugins installed in that SSD suffers very shitty stutters. long load times and even stutter during playback. pain in the ass especially if stutters during recording.

at least grab a adata xpg sx8200 pro which is 120x better instead of this kind of dram-less SSDumpster lmao

I've been using 120GB A400 since last year without any problem. I always make sure to have at least 30% unused disk space.

Now already upgraded to 256GB XPG SX8200 Pro. I bought it for RM175.

Not many pipu leave 30% unused space, almost 10% or less space.

You need to keep some space free for best performance.

Install only the Windows OS and frequently use apps in the SSD.

Anything else such as downloaded files, games and program all put into HDD.

It's not that difficult.

But not many pipu do that.

Best Budget ssd for gaming.
You can check my video below.
I'm compared my ps4 pro stock hdd 1TB and kingston a400 480GB.
You can see the BIG differences.

PS4 is a different use case compared to using the drive as a windows boot drive as it heavily relies on random performance?

I just swapped out my wife's 1TB HDD with a Silicon Power A55 512GB which I bought from Lazada at RM207. Leaps better over the HDD for sure. For me, it was RM207 well spent

Yesterday Viewnet offer intel 545s 128gb RM88. 5 years warranty. With some voucher applied can easy get below RM80. No one can beat this price and this brand within the range.

The best budget SATA SSD now is ADATA SU650 240GB for around RM 115. (maybe 110 if u r lucky)

Consistently tapau my Kingston UV400 240GB and Sandisk SSD PLUS 240GB I bought in 2016. Read average 520 and write average 440.

My Crucial MX500 500GB and Samsung EVO 250GB still slightly better than ADATA, but they are more expensive.

im user of A400, SSD Plus and EVO850

on 3 different pc, laptops

EVO850 is different league with this budget . really responsive

so left out to this 2 budget one.
pick A400 anytime over the SSD Plus.
its more responsive. less stutter over the SSD Plus

Finally decided to pull the trigger during 11-11 planning to get 250gb or 500 gb SDD just for games. Till this date, any recommended brand.
Base on the meaningful discussion with the forumer can i rank the recommended brand like below?
Budget SSD for gaming storage
Realiability > Price

1. Crucial MX500
2. Seagate
3. ADATA
4. KingSton A400

IT's good one, but I have bought myself Radeon 120 GB SSD R5 just lately like probably people here already suggested and I am more than happy with it no matter how you put it. See my point with everything here ? I do like that all a bit.

I could even tell you that I thought about something like for example 960GB SSD, but then I simply thought how much of space can be simply used for free in web so I decided to go even with 120 GB SSD, it's plenty for me and I do not play now.

IF you have the money for sure go with Samsung or even Intel itself, that way you will be obtaining very much of that reliability that you can't even imagine for that matter anyway. I do hope it will be much much longer really for many people like you. I decided budget this time.

guys, i am looking for cheaper ssd too..


for my ps4 and desktop main os storage

Crucial, samsung or kingston/sandisk?
which one cheaper and recommended?

btw if samsung 850 evo or 860 evo any different?

For budget SSD just get Crucial MX500 (SATA).

Or can consider Kingston A2000 (NVME).

Both also have 5 year warranties. You will probably never notice the difference in both unless you are transferring or working with huge file sizes.

Anything cheaper is a risk, I would personally never buy those. I have seen many cheap SSD fail in just a few months. It is a big hassle when the drive fails, especially if you haven't done a backup.

Samsung is for those who can afford it, they are among the best in the market due to their good quality control.
