need a bigger drive for game,

rm260 vs rm290, which one better?

Samseng Evo ftw!

between these two, definitely SanDisk better

Sandisk is better but its not really gonna make a lot of difference if you are an average user.

Get Crucial MX500 instead.

Link please. I want to buy too.

Sandisk

But if me, i will go to samsung

lazada

tempting to get 860 evo samsung 500gb at rm399 at shopee.

Go for samsung, longer life span

probably go for the cheapest, since its not my primary drive, and gonna use it to store game only.

feels like waiting for 1tb samsung evo 860 to come down in price.

both using same nand and same factory output..
not much different

thanks bro, great info.

then i go for cheapest , since using it to store steam game only

Sandisk 3d nand or samseng evo

Good choice

kingston buy Nand from Toshiba for thier SSD product.
WD joint venture with Toshiba and share the Nand output from Toshiba Fab.
thus both product is relatively same nand.
the only different it the DRAM and Nand Controller.
if both has DRAM, then not much different in term of performance.

the other brand using toshiba brand is Plextor (LiteOn), Adata, Apacer and Phison which i know aware of.
lately Samsung also start to buy Nand from Toshiba even though they hv own nand factory.

Intel SSD is using Micron Nand.

I saw alot of dead ssd complaints in the product reviews on amazon for Kingston. And Sandisk is super cheap so I'm kinda iffy on it.

Better go with Samsung just to be safe.

waiting for 1tb 860 evo price to come down, now rm799.

i got like 20 kingston ssd since 5 years ago, only 1 failed so far

Last time black Friday got 860 Evo 1tb rm589 y u no buy?

but what are you doing with them? running a server farm?

if just running os, choose cheaper one

if just to store game, for gaming?

samsung will be better, but really expensive now

actually the price is quite cheap already, 1tb at 799, 500gb at 399.

but since just to store game, i am thinking just to get cheapest only. rm262 for 480gb seems ok.

Best is Samsung.

But if too poor then get Segate Barracuda

Compare here

Crucial BX500 also in this price point, better preformance. MX series is better but more expensive.

Wtf so cheap

Ayam samsung evo 260gb rm400+

lol

How do you know a SSD is failing tho?

HDD: don't worth it, too slow
SSHD: if you want big storage, is the best option, is cheap e faster than HDD
SSD: if you want speed, is best option, a bit slower than M.2 and chepaer.
M.2 NVME: don't worth it

I've used Plextor, Crucial, Kingston...all no issues...just depends on what application you want to run on those ssds only.

Both also sampah. Mati mati no money also at least get a crucial mx500 .

I thought /k standards is Samsung Evo else don't buy?

Get sandisk.

But actually I would take samsung over those

Not true. Kingston buy NAND from anything they can get their hands on for their lower end range of their product stack. Thts some reviewers get different result when they benchmark different batches of the same product. Only higher end hyper x range kingston make it better.

Bought samsung 860 evo 500gb rm360 x2 last month

My gosh you are so rich what do you do for a living?

Grow money tree?

This month bought 144hz monitor and 1070 and 8gb ram.

Need to save up la CNY coming, need to give ang pao you know?

Awwww. Maybe i should wait for sales.

Where? Lazada? Rm360

short term use or long term use?

short term (3-5 years), go for sandisk.. this model is equivalent to wd green..

long term, neither.. go for at least wd blue..

Hello. You look at the price difference first. MX500 is a budget SSD not asking you to buy a Samsung 970 Pro. For a 512GB , it is listed at RM 349 at viewnet's website. Perhaps if you can bargain abit, you can get even cheaper. Remember it is 512GB not 480GB plus 5 years warranty.

349 topup rm50 get samsung 860 evo

yeah better than kingston or sandisk

bought last month at shopee rm364 for 500gb

samsung la

After Kingston's SSD bait & switch fiasco.
Not trusting Kingston anymore.

adata

I bought the same sandisk ssd plus 480 gb for rm250 last 12.12 from lazada with free shipping.. better wait a little probably cny sale coming..

MX500

Thanks bro

Ya lazada but Sg not msia.. S$120 free shipping

just get mx500 la, it just small price premium only. somemore you get 5 years warranty, DRAM and high enough nand endurance

My crucial m2 sata 512gb is coming...

Wondering what the sifus here think of crucial brand

mx500 i might as well topup rm50 to get samsung 860 evo

but you dont get 5 years warranty with 860evo.

edited: nevermind, it was 5 years warranty too

cheaper better

anyway, my point is, get something with DRAM.

Sandisk that model is much worst than Kingston A400, and Kingston A400 is already trash to begin with.

if you want i suggest MX500, 12.12 sale it does dropped to RM300 before. May be CNY can try your luck at shoppee

if not just get 2 unit of Seagate SSD 250GB @ RM150+ each. Dont bother those 2 model you mentioned.

Both lousy. Don't think about installing OS. To store big files ok la for sequential performance

Better in terms of what? Benchmarks?

For practical purposes, when you move from HDD to SSD, the difference is huge.

Meaning between different SSDs, you will you not be able to tell the difference.

So, just buy the cheaper one.

server for cyber cafe

Why buy dramless SSD?

dont ever buy kingston ssd, i have nightmare using those brand, i buy it few weeks ago 8 pcs of them all got problem.. the problem is when using surfing playgame sometime it stuck for like 10 - 15 sec..

let me know if this is within your budget range ,
brand new 1tb samsung ssd pro rm1k
https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?act=ST&f=55&t=4713986

As long as it's a brand you've heard before it should be fine. I personally won't recommend Kingspec and Pioneer SSD's

thanks!!!

welcome back

Both are less quality

SAMSUNG ftw!

For SSD, based on reviews, the top 2 always samsung evo 860 and crucial mx500.

any rekomen budget reliable ssd (about 120gb) to replace 5-7year old laptops hdd?
average browsing and youtube only

I suggest kingspec, kingdian and goldenfir ssd.
Prc da best.

Black caviar best
