Hi,
SSD like Adata, Kingston, Crucial... Would you recommend? If ok, safe some tokens from big brands like Samsung, SanDisk, WD, Seagate...

crucial is ok

Which model specifically from those brands?

I use this as a guide and find for reviews of a particular model online: https://linustechtips.com/topic/1092033-ssd-tier-list/

Due to chip shortage copy and paste from LTT because so lazy to type

NOTE - MANY MANUFACTURERS ARE REPLACING THE KEY COMPONENTS OF SSDS (CONTROLLERS & NAND FLASH) WITH INFERIOR COMPONENTS WITHOUT INFORMING THE GENERAL PUBLIC. THIS LIST IS BASED ON THE COMPONENTS (CONTROLLERS & NAND FLASH) THAT THE SSD CAME WITH AT THE TIME OF LAUNCH.

crucial is one tier below samseng,same league as wd/sandisk, toshiba/kioxia. so it should be fine.

Crucial mx series is decent

Ok je i think
Am using Kingston a2000 1TB
Crucial is reputable

see the size will learn quality. aim 500g or 512g full
not 480g 960g those eco shit

Thanks guys for the informative feedbacks!
So, other than these "secondary" brands, those cheaper brands better ignoring?

Ok. Definitely will check that out!

Sorry ah... What does it mean?😅

Oh... Ya hor. Whats the different and why there were 240G 480G 960G? These types are not proper SSD? SD card like?

SSD chip only just few factory produce.

Tons of brand are assembly only.

So you only need to buy with those warranty easy claim brands.

It means what's inside the SSD you purchased is not the same as what's stated in their website. Generally, for normal consumer, it doesn't matter. There's a couple specs that really matters, such as does the SSD have DRAM or not.

same function to use. lower grade ic so avoids.
samsung, hynix, hp pro = among common choices i install

I actually prefer to use this for comparison. While I don't aim for very high performance, I'll make sure it at least have DRAM, and above average performance. The price point is similar, so just raise your budget a bit to get better performance.

Smaller size like 128 and 256 GB used to have significantly cheaper 'critical for performance' component, so try to get at least 500GB. Not sure about the current trend.

Example your car original part replace to local made part your mileage may vary

Due to TS not said what the purpose of usage the SSD so best is still dramless 900p 280GB.

corsair

Should state your use case (i.e. boot drive/storage only/video editing destination drive/etc.)

Pure storage only imho can be DRAM-less to save abit money. Else DRAM ftw (Crucial MX, Samsung Evo,etc.)

Case in point- i've got 860 evo and crucial bx500 both as boot with storage partitions. I personally see no difference

Is it better to get 500gb dram ssd or top up a bit for 1tb dramless ssd? Usually I see them almost same price, only rm59 difference.

using mx500 500gb as game drive..working lol
