Depends if you can accept the performance decrease.

Seeking 500gb. But the 1tb also i feel tempted if price is ok

Bigger drive with DRAM usually have longer life span, to further reduce data written to SSD, you have to move your download folder to somewhere else,
they can be network drive or external drive.

i bet that corsair is the best price currently out there.
or PNY CS2130.... pretty good tier SSD along with corsair.
others kinda bad...
i saw in amazon, sabrent rocket 4 cost 700+ for 1tb.. even great.. lol...

Too late now, it was way better during Q2/Q3 last year

How long does it take to check for bad blocks on a 500GB ssd?
I'm currently running badblocks command (via linux) to check because Ubuntu>Disks say it has 32 bad sectors. badblocks has been running for 4 hours now. Is this to be expected?

Regret didn't use -sv. Only use -v. Dunno the percentage of progress
UPDATE: I cancel it via ^c. Seems like 5 hours for 30 percent (based on my interpretation on the block number)

FYI, currently the drive is connected via USB2.0 (in ext hdd case)

Is my SSD dying? Reallocated sector count = 32 (20hex)

AFAIK that's not how SSD is determined to be dying. The bad sectors part.
My Crucial® SSD has Bad Sectors.

my reallocated sector count increasing
it also cannot be formatted. i try with gparted. format it to ntfs. looks like the operation success because i can copy file into it. after unplug the drive and plug back in, it's not ntfs anymore (back to raw).

Maybe the port unstable power? Try use port with USB3 or at the back, that is on mobo?

I see the SSD still new, maybe see after few days, if not then need RMA

tried with usb2, usb3, even usb-c

decided to give it a dedicated thread: https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/5109941

is there any substantial update regarding directstorage? been needing a 2TB ssd for a while but i held back in case 4.0 would finally make a difference for my usage.

MThe Game Stack Live event will take place on April 21 and 22, where we will know more precisely the dates on which these new technologies will make their arrival on PC

But then the game itself need to support directstorage.
PCIE gen 3 also can benefit from directstorage, it would really suck if MS decide to only support for gen 4.

thanks man. seems like the wait continues.
for sure it will support gen 3, im just looking for excuses to spend money

Hello SSD sifus, can I please get some help on deciding which SSD that would fit to my current laptop?

I currently have ARES V laptop by Illegear with this for the storage

1st M.2 Solid State Drive: 500GB M.2 PCIe NVMe Solid State Drive
2nd M.2 Solid State Drive: None
1st 2.5" SATA Drive: None

Now I'm looking through Shoppee for 1TB SSD to add to the second slot to increase my storage size.

Would any of these be ok?

2) https://shopee.com.my/Silicon-Power-NVMe-PC...7911.2095142026

Apologies if this is not the place to ask.

Look for Transcend MTE 220S or PNY CS3030. Nothing else.

Thank you for the suggestion! Now in between those 2, would one of them be better than the other? Or just the same?

MTE220S got higher endurance. Both using same controller though.

is this chip controller "Silicon Motion SM2262ENG" on my 2TB adata sx8200 pro still a good chip, coz i just purchase this nvme ssd last 2 week only.
