QUOTE(ben3003 @ Mar 18 2022, 07:34 AM) Nvme or sata ssd? I wanted to try Nvme but if the motherboard doesnt support/ perform worse than sata then I will go sata. I am familiar with sata ssd but nvme is kinda new to me. |

QUOTE(ben3003 @ Mar 18 2022, 08:01 AM) can check, cos price diff ada beza. if sata i owes trust crucial mx500, bought 2 1tb drive already, latest buy 425 from shopee. 1tb nvme price can be vary from cheap 400-500ish to expensive 1k+ because the speed range is very huge diff. tats y is see u wan buy nvme or sata. apparently a quick check that ur mobo support nvme pcie 3.0 ssd. NVME less choice below rm500 1tb for good drive, better invest abit more for non-dramless drive if boot drive. i dont have any recommendation for 1tb nvme drive below rm500, if me die die must below 500, i will get 500gb instead and get a faster drive, than a dramless drive. samsung 980, corsaid mp510 should be okay to use. Would love to recommend adata sx8200pro 1tb but then, they changed the controller crippled the drive that used to be 1 of the better price/performance drive. QUOTE(TristanX @ Mar 18 2022, 08:33 AM) Transcend MTE220S 1TB at RM525. Unbeatable price for PCIE 3.0 M.2 . Same controller as Corsair MP510 and PNY CS3030. QUOTE(zack.gap @ Mar 18 2022, 01:49 PM) go for sn570 (newer version of sn550) or kc2500 for nvme. mx500 1tb for sata ssd Thanks guys for the inputs. It seems that choices for 1TB nvme within my budget is still limited. I may downgrade to 500gb ones for better choices like samsung 980 etc. or straight go for mx500 1TB. After all it will be for boot drive.  |

QUOTE(TristanX @ Mar 20 2022, 09:35 PM) Samsung SSD? Overpriced like hell. Just look for these. So in my understanding a DRAMless SSD used those RAM stick in order to work?PNY CS3030 Corsair MP510 Transcend MTE220S PCIE 4.0: Kingston KC3000 Corsair MP600 Pro XT Good DRAMless SSD is auto ignored. I don't like it using my RAM. guess I just follow the ones you listed above. |

QUOTE(TristanX @ Mar 22 2022, 12:55 AM) DRAMless SSDs these days uses your RAM for cache. Oh I see. Thanks!Just go with the suggestions and you won't regret. I probably going for corsair mp510 since I am not sure about PNY and transcend reliability. |
