hi bro, do u mind to share this offer from which seller?

buy from viewnet

https://www.lazada.com.my/products/samsung-...3091574814.html?

out of stock currently... as usual... after purchase.. i regret.. lol...

Looking for 1TB m.2 NVMe SSD and narrow down to these three brand.

Any idea which to go for?

1. SK Hynix Gold P31

2. Adata XPG SX8200 Pro

3. PNY XLR8 CS3030

I'm using both Adata XPG SX8200 Pro 1TB and 2TB.

if you read earlier msg, some member here mentioning xpg are no longer as good as before.. usable but nand controller switch to slower grade. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/adata-xpg...ntroller-change

Yes read about that, and even the PNY also reduce the TBW.

SK Hynix seem good compare to both PNY and Adata, but hardly any seller selling it and can't even find a Distributor in Malaysia (RMA might be a issue).

Regard to the slower nand controller, mind to share what exactly will it affect (my usage is only for normal gaming and some CAD software)?

as far as i know NAND flash controller ensures that all data written is spread evenly across all physical blocks of the ssd so that it will not easy wear out one area of the NAND faster than another. apart from gaming maybe not that noticeable but CAD rendering... could be.. not so sure, not using for CAD so far.

Is this crucial mx500 suitable to replace my 2 laptops' hdd which r giving problem?

One is WD5000LPVT-22G33T0



Another one is ST2000LM003:

Yes. Good enough.

Hi all,

I've just purchased the Dell Inspiron 3891 desktop which comes with 1TB HDD.

Plan to buy a SSD, mainly as a boot drive (no gaming or any graphic designs, mainly work, surf, video, music).

Can someone give some recommendations? Really headache already after reading a lot and there are just so many brands/types out there.
- I guess 500GB should be just right? Actually 250GB should be enough but I thought that might be a bit low
- Wish to buy some more reliable/ durable SSD, but have no idea which brand to go for
- Below is the available slots from Dell, I guess I should go for M.2 PCIe NVMe?
- Not particular on budget, maybe RM 200 to RM 600, but guess I don't have to overkill and get some high specs/speed SSD?

Any guidance is very much appreciated

Something like the Corsair MP510?

For SSD, minimally you should aim for a 250GB drive, but for some breathing room you should aim for a 500GB drive

Ya guess probably 500GB is just right.
Will check out MP510, are there are other brands with similar performance/ reliability as MP510?
If there are, then I'll just compare the prices see which has better promo

just get samsung evo 1tb and clone the whole drive.

just prepare for yourself to deal with bios secure boot setting if u re-install windows in new drive.

I just called Dell, was told max can support is 512GB, anyway I don't think I need 1TB anyway.

Wanting to replace my hdd in 2 old laptops that kaput recently. Pls give advice on these ssd which r the available stocks.
Rm143 Sandisk plus 240gb.
Rm156 Kingston A400 240gb.
Rm178 WD Blue 250gb.
Rm209 Samsung Evo870 250gb.

Rm246 Sandisk Plus 480gb.
Rm309 Samsung Evo870 512gb.

Installation + windows10 cost rm80.
Is it easy to install DIY? Just replace the hdd n install windows10 using USB thumbdrive with w10?

yes.. its easy to install win10... also.. replacing hdd is easy.. can do it urself... kingston A400 maybe ok2.. if nothing store much 240gb is enuf imho..

Never had pny or adata, SSD I have before 2.5 inch 128gb plextor, Kingston and Corsair can last me 9 year only start showing health drop to 76%

Currently I'm using 2.5inch 1tb SSD MX 500 and another 1tb for d drive, 4tb blue HDD for E drive has been using more than year nothing to complaint

Pick either Crucial MX500 or Samsung 860/870 Evo. The rest is garbage. DRAMless crap for most of them.
