I'm planning to upgrade my current m.2 NVME 1TB setup by adding another 1TB 2.5" SSD to store games (Steam, Origin etc).

What's a good 2.5" SSD 1TB brand out there? Specifically value for money ones. Thanks LYN!

Can i use this adaptor to connect my Samsung Evo 870 ssd to my laptop without using a external casing?

Yes, it has enough power to power up laptop size HDDs. However, it won't be enough for a 3.5" desktop HDD.

Last question , which shop did you bought from online or at the offline shop ? years of usage ? or batch/serial number ?
I would avoid the same shop or batch number with the specific firmware.Thank you
*
I would say not to worry. The new MX500 comes with an updated package with the most up to date firmware. I have been running my MX500 for years too without issues.

Only idiots would fall for this
And looking at the ratings. There are tons of them idiots out there

Haven't they ever heard the term "If the price seems too good to be true, it probably is?"

Just a curious question here which would help me to choose.

With the plethora of faster and faster DRAMless (HMB) Gen4 SSD, would it still make sense to go for slower Gen3 SSD with DRAM?

I mean would you still pick a Transcend MTE220 (3300R/2800W) over a Crucial P3Plus (5000R/3600W)?
*
I don't mind picking up the MTE220S (if only I can get it at a great price) for storage purposes. The high TBW is the one factor that I can't ignore.

Hi all. Sorry for the late reply. Its from All IT Hypermarket. This is the link.

https://shopee.com.my/Kingston-KC3000-PCIe-...1b-5de9c0766558

RM387.50 - 58.13(15% off voucher) - 3000 coins = RM299.37.

Just got the last unit from All IT albeit a slightly higher price at 311 after discounts.

UPDATE: Order got cancelled by seller due to no stock bangwall.gif

Owh sorry to hear that. Exactly what happen to me but a different seller. I didnt think a company as reputable as ALLIT will also do that too. And yeah its more likely they want to sell at a higher price.  Track it for a month or so it will suddenly come back at the "adjusted" pricing.
*
Yup, adjusted price updated by them. Now 1TB they have 3 in stock and it's RM468 now. LOL

i was surprised about the allit's incident too.

again, communications before purchase helps. it's an attempt as a buyer to make sure sellers are aware of the situations, and are ready to commit. if they decided to tell me 'no stock', i will thank them and move on.

idealtech does remind buyers to check with them via pm first before purchase. it's a good move as seller to avoid potential issues.
*
Yeah, totally agree. Will drop a message first before pulling the trigger in the future to all sellers. Cheapest now is from Just IT tech at RM429 for 1TB
