I think is genesisrapidonline at shopee. I remember the picture very colorful.

Pls share which seller also. Looking to upgrade my ssd to 1tb

One post above. But now no more that price.

reportedly, samsung is also one of the manufacturers that plays the same tricks on part swapping to 970 evo plus, https://www.extremetech.com/computing/32637...g-its-customers

however, from the video in the article, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_jee5Q08OI it's different from wd's case, because it's more like relative improvements (same controller as 980 pro; increased size of slc cache)

Increased slc cache size but decreased 50% write speed after slc cache exhausted.

Looks like the cheapest mx500 1tb as of now is at rm392 at lazada under Genesis Rapid Online. Anyone found cheaper?

PNY CS3030 2TB at RM899 from Shopee.

What's the best value 240GB SATA SSD right now?

None. 500GB has better price/performance/storage. Crucial MX500

https://shopee.com.my/search?keyword=crucial%20mx500%20500gb

with lazada bonus RM9 for every 99, it seems that I can now get the CS3040 2TB for RM884

are there any known reliability issues with the E16 controller that this drive uses?

hi, i have some qs.. thinking purchasing lenovo laptop. realized the storage is slightly different description.

512GB SSD M.2 2242 NVMe TLC
512GB SSD M.2 2242 PCIe 3.0x4 NVMe

Could not find info on comparing Nvme TLC vs PCIe Nvme. is the below nvme is MLC type? potentially?

Something very fishy though. Those with local manufacturers warranty is like RM16xx.
Those with local supplier warranty go from rm12xx to rm9xx for 2 TB.

it was from PCByte, so they're pretty reputable, though it is an oddity that they could provide 2TB + 3600TBW + Gen4 for the price of sub 1k.

But I've actually cancelled my order cause wife was clearly unhappy with the purchase as she said I already bought too many NVMe's recently

I went with 32GB RAM instead

If the price difference is huge, then possibly. But I'm gonna guess they're both TLC which most are these days.

different laptop screen size... 14" and 15" but with same price, different ssd description.

This is probably the biggest stumbling block those of us who are married face when it comes to buying SSDs (or any other hardware). So made sure to get something for her as well.



Sabrent Rocket Q 2TB going into wife's new laptop, replacing the original 512GB Adata from Dell. - this is the secret to making sure the wife doesn't complain about the others.
T-Force Cardea Zero Z330 2TB went into external enclosure for use as portable drive.
2x Samsung 980 Pro 2TB waiting for my new gaming laptop to arrive to replace the original 512GB from Dell.

Going to see how the Z330 performs in my normal use. If am satisfied with it over the next couple months, I might get more for a special purpose rig I will build later this year, since it's the cheapest I could find for the price.

Endurance of the cheaper drives is not an issue since I don't expect the usage to reach anywhere near the stated levels. I didn't benchmark the drives, just based on real-world usage experience. So far am happy with the cheap Z330 which is being used as portable drive with my older laptop, and for temporary backup of 2 laptops.

i've bought her stuffs actually, but it's just that i told her about my disappointment with the MTE220S cause i paid more for it than the CS3040, and she said she'll pay for it instead. that's probably why she got tilted since it was just a month ago or lesser

Anyone knows how to tell the new and old xpg sx8200pro from software?

I bought 1tb last year (before the scandal) and another one last 9.9

Did crystalmark test but couldn't tell the difference..

Likely due to the old nvme was 90% full capacity

I don't wish to format both drives just for speedtest

You can try check the controller version

Hi, Just bought my laptop and was wondering what's the max capacity of the M.2, slots. But I read somewhere online that there is no limits for M.2 slots?
