Yes just saw it, I’m looking at the 1tb capacity one and would the difference between gen3 and gen4 pcie be huge for normal usage? Without video rendering or editing etc.

no.

tbh, mte220s is so affordable now i just bought another 2x 2tb hehe

I also bought a few months ago. Wanted 1 or 2TB and PCIe Gen4. In the end settle for XPG S70 Blade. 1 TB RM555 with vouchers and Laz bonus.

Personally I'll go with the MX500, dram is helpful especially if you want to use it as a boot drive

Cheapest of the cheap but quite fast for a gen3, but quite fast. My 1tb runs pretry hot though under full load (>80c). Lol.

they are bare ssds, so they need passive or active cooling support. mine is usually below 50c, with occasional bumps to below 55c.

Above 80c will have thermal throttle already lo i believe. At least this is the case for kc3000. This is the nvram temperature ya

I have it nstalled with a copper heatsink (in a laptop). Normal / gaming runs below 50c. So no complains hehe. It only gets up to 83c when i copy large chunks of files but i no longer need to do that so no biggie.

Personally I still love and prefer the Kingston KC2500, sadly it has been discontinued, but this seems like a nice alternative

now it makes sense. unfortunately most laptops are still not optimal for nvme ssds under heavy usage.

yes, I replaced my KC2500 with the MTE220S. HP EX950 is also another alternative.

1tb 970 evo plus rm450 no warranty from laz/amazon jp. Good buy?

no warranty means not a good buy.

transcend mte220s 2tb have arrived (link was posted above); safe and sound.

now it's 770myr per piece haha

are you using it for OS?
5 years warranty sounds ok

Pricing for this one is ridiculously cheap as well.

no sir. usually i will use a smaller drive for os.

yes, mte220s is good. my current system is running 1x 2tb for apps, and 1x 2tb for games and vms.

my systems are old to run this at full .. maybe it's time for upgrade hehe

recently there are articles about ssds having 'excessive carbon footprint' compared to hdds, like this one, https://www.tomshardware.com/news/ssds-crea...han-hdds-report

these articles are straightup flawed in many areas if you care to read them.

imo technologies like hdds and ssds are here to stay. before there are better ones to replace them, it's up to us to find balance, so that they can work together to reduce carbon footprints. tbh, there are people already doing this for us.

2TB KC3000 vs. 2TB Fury Renegade

What's the difference? I'm leaning more to Renegade. Hmmm...how's the performance between the two? Thinking of going to Low Yat Plaza tomorrow to snag one.

I think Fury 20% more endurance than kc3000. maybe a little bit faster or equal to Kc.
