looks like it's gonna be a trend for ssd, cutting down on endurance to save cost, especially on newer releases and models.

my take is BUY WISELY. It's better to buy some of the older models with better endurance. Most of time not gonna see any real world speed differrence.

Those who bought PNY CS3030 before May 17 can rest easy.

I wonder the stocks for 6/6 sale on shopee is old stock or fresh new stocks

The reality is that majority of people outside of gamers and crypto miners seldom challenge the limitations of their system. While it is true that endurance keeps getting worse at the NAND level ( it has been for the past two decades), most of us will not have to worry much if we are just doing normal office productivity stuff and casual gaming. Even the cheapest SSD will last the life of the system if you are just a regular office user.. The Chia cryptocurrency unfortunately, is one of those things that will ruin your nice new SSD if not careful. Only a matter of time before more SSD manufacturers release chia ready SSD with ultra high endurance

How about the Corsair MP600 2TB or Samsung 980 Pro 2TB for PCIE 4.0? Will be used as my boot drive and won't be upgrading my PC for the next 8-10 years or so

Overpriced like hell. Look for others, most no stock now.

Amazon is currently having promo for Samsung 980 pro 2TB for price rm1500+ including shipping and tax.

Thanks, not in a hurry yet since I want to purchase the SSD together with a new CPU, Motherboard, RAM and GPU

I noticed the Samsung 980 Pro 1TB at RM1.2k at shopee:

Would this be a better buy than the WD SN850?

Spec wise they are very similar in terms of performance, even for endurance both also rated at 1200TBW. To me i will choose the cheapest option. In fact the price is very attractive, 2TB variant here easily cost at RM2K++

Hi, is Crucial P5 1TB good SSD? Plan to use it to replace my XPS13 laptop SSD.
Then, plan to get another 1TB either NVME or SATA as external storage, what SSD and casing type should i get? consider either USB 3.2 or Thunderbolt 3.

which budget 250GB SSD brand I should looking for? Upgrade to a old laptop running max Sata2 only.
Silicon Power or Crucial?
