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.

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

how often you do video editing, if plenty then i suggest get professional grade ssd like samsung 980 pro

without dram just slower. no issue man.
wait until u encounter firmware crashs. it reset to 0mb size baru tau rase

similar to disk crash. random happens. often happen to budget type choice

Simple summary for TS.

- If your laptop/ desktop is over 5 years, no need buy expensive SSD.
- If you PC only has SATA cable (desktop) or SATA M.2 (laptop) connection, all SATA SSD speed in this category are 5xxMB/s only. So no need expensive SSD.
- There is nothing wrong buying cheap SSD from brands like Colorful, HkVision, Walram and such.

Basically companies like Kingston, Adata, Sandisk and practically all other companies that does not make their own chips, buy from other chip making companies to make their SSD.

A simple solution to reliability problems is make an over provisioning partition in the SSD. There are many guides for this. Its an option if you need reliability. As proof, if you install Samsung SSD Magician utility, it even has over provisioning option in it. Even Samsung one of the best quality SSD you can buy has this as backup plan.

The only problem i have so far with cheap SSD is the controller. Some of them are weak in a sense that it cannot retain the custom firmware (from the company brand that made it) that was programmed inside and it reverted to controller chip firmware that caused unreadable problems. I have experienced Kingston & Patriot reverting to factory SATAFIRM that caused the SSD to be unreadable. You would probably not have this problem with Samsung, Crucial and Intel.

do not use SSD until ran of space

sata 1TB SSD err?

want cheap then buy samseng 870evo
else
want best then buy S4510

Crucial Mx500 , Samsung 870 Evo. If you decide to go with the 870 Evo, make sure the firmware is the latest one. Earlier batches got problem with the firmware

I've been using adata sx8200 1gb nvme (main C: drive) and crucial Mx500 1tb ssd (games drive)

Both works flawlessly. Adata around 1 year plus while Mx500 almost 3 years plus

What Mac desktop? Got Thunderbolt?

I'm using Adata SX8200 Pro Gen3 NVME in an external Thunderbolt case. My Mac mini is only 256GB internal. Latest SSD I have is XPG S70 Blade Gen4 NVME in a PC.

As for SATA SSDs, if old computer, just any cheap cheap SATA SSD. Samsung is always expensive. My old MacBooks and Windows laptops using PNY CS900, Kingston A400, Adata SU650 & Topmore TP-100. Hackintosh using Sandisk SSD Plus.

Crucial (if not mistaken BX500 series). I've been using it for my old laptop and PS4. Both still working until today. I've lost count the years I've bought it. Seems a-OK for me.

Recently bought a Crucial MX500 1TB for my PC. Good performance for a decent price.

Maybe not as your main drive. I use Samsung for the main boot drive, and cheap SSD for storage/games.

That way your important files don't get exposed to such risks.

Anyway there is little problem with the reliability of these SSDs tbh. Just go for it. No point paying more for perceived quality when it really doesn't matter.

Check Lazada. Should be about rm400 plus minus. Definitely pick local reseller rather than overseas.

messia bigger IT shop open in both platform.

Whichever cheap then buy from that platform.

just add another 2TB into my laptop. as storage usage only, i bough the cheap without DRAM. still get 2GB read 1.5GB write

IT product got factory sealed.

once open mean GG.

CCP a lot fake products but seem not many in messia yet.

If you’re talking external = portable connect with USB type then yeah even more reason to go for the cheapest one since it’s not being used as frequently.

Just find the cheapest one from a reputable brand on Shopee/Lazada. Last time I bought a 1TB Sandisk for 450 as my game/storage drive for my laptop. Still working after 2 years of daily use.

Reputable means not some unknown kingkong Chinese brand. Adata, Sandisk, Kingston, Silicon Power are ok.

CCP mean china. China got a lot fake / reuse product such as big brand like intel / samsung / WD. And also got a lot local brand like hikvision colorful patriot etc etc

but some time there got big suprise too. Like the 280g 900P really is a good product. Warranty until 2024/2025 some more.

No problem.

Easiest way to check whether it’s acceptable is to search the same model and read reviews on Amazon. If there’s hundreds or thousands of reviews and it’s still 4+ stars then ok. PNY and Adata I think still ok

brand new sealed.

Honestly micron warranty very bad in messia. If you want good warranty then pick intel / samseng / seagate. WD a bit drop but still better than micron in messia.

Hi, friends,
Does ADATA SU650 Ok for External Drive for Storage?
Read/Write - 520/450MB/s
Only RM250? 🤔
