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

WDS500G2X0C?

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

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

hmm that's strange. every game I play the SSD like to freeze...I am using 480G version....Played JC4 and XCOM2 also freeze...music goes into loop..wait till SSD load data back then can resume.
Both SSD also like that. I am starting to think that the SSD's are refurbished. Lol

Is the SSD almost full?

Although Kingston A1000 performance is one of the worse for NVME SSD, my opinion it's still better than SATA SSD. Even when against Barracuda SATA SSD.

NVME always the better choice against SATA because of the bigger bandwidth and better latency. Unless of course if the drive is really bad until SATA SSD can outperform it.

When you have Intel 760p for RM80 more money which is miles better, A1000 can be ignored.

Cheapest I saw A1000 is RM202. So that makes 760P is expensive by almost 50%. Does the higher price justify the performance?

Anandtech test is more like stress test of the drive. Techpowerup also do normal user usage test.

Win 10 startup time
760P 17.7 seconds
A1000 19.2 seconds

Winrar compression time
760P 35.5 seconds
A1000 42.5 seconds

MP3 indexing time
760P 1.7 seconds
A1000 2.3 seconds

Avast anti virus scan time
760P 51.2 seconds
A1000 62.6 seconds

Photoshop editing time
760P 61.5 seconds
A1000 54.3 seconds

If you run it though benchmark, yes there are difference. But for general use without attaching numbers, it is really much much better than HDD. But for the thousands of buyers of A400 would they care if it was fast? The ones that made noise are the cheapskates gamers that bought it without studying the pros and cons.  laugh.gif  laugh.gif

Are there's stuttering issue as what some are complaining?
