What is your use rate? In terms of GB write/rewrite each month?
Did you usually keep it over 80% full?

A cheap SDD is much better than HDD.

I personally have no problem using A400.

Loading OS definitely will stutter. Chrome is light load. Doesnt count.

received my 860 evo 1tb today, total include shipping and tax is RM 575 after convert. worth? malaysia is selling double that price.

compare the speed to my old crucial M4 512 gb and my wife sandisk ssd plus 240gb, i would say my 860 evo perform a lot stable and obviously faster, but no fast until i want to shout. it is faster as it should be.

granted i only transfer files between the disk to check the speed. out of 3 only sandisk is use as OS drive.
it is a dramless ssd, and base on my wife usage, it perform really well.
the only game my wife play is candy crush on FB.
however the performance can be slightly unstable. things still load pretty fast when i use it for some network/os troubleshoot and updates
there were slight hiccup that was foreign to me when i was using my M4. but it does not break the machine and the usability of the ssd.
the hiccup does not happen everytime and last no more than 1 sec or 2.

Worth it for the price to performance!
Ordered the 970 Evo 500gb for RM 568 which I guess RM300 lower than Malaysia selling. I think sometimes if we can wait, the deals in amazon are worth it for us. Also, Amazon does make our hands itchy on those deals especially during Black Friday!

Hi , I have been using 960 250g for a year, it pairs with ryzen 1700 . Still running strong even today( 10 sec enters ) os.

Have been thinking about upgrade to 500gb . Would I have the same user experience if I get western digital 3d nand Black ? As it is a lot of cheaper than 970

You are absolutely right.

I was using A400 for OS in my gaming pc and laptop before, after 2 month both my system become stutter and really unstable.

After change it to 860 evo all stutter and performance issue gone.

hi, regarding the A400, when you're gaming, it will stutter at times right? screen just freeze for no apparent reason. Experiencing this while playing battlefield 5 and it stutters alot and the drive is new.

Crucial MX500 price difference isnt big. Why buy a crap when the good price/performance SSD isnt much more expensive?

I use the 240gb version as OS drive for my old laptop.
Only use it for web browsing, youtube.
Works well for my usage, no issues so far.

Pretty happy with it, especially since I got it for a mere RM119.70 from lazada thanks to a coupon.

WDS500G2X0C?

According to here it should be faster than 960 Evo 250GB

https://www.pcworld.com/article/3265032/sto...ssd-review.html

If it's the older version (WDS512G1X0C) then worse performance.

SATA 2 is half the bandwidth of SATA 3. Bottlenecks SSDs.
