SSD Recommendation

[derkaiser94]

830 user myself and never had an issue. Recently also purchased a 850 for my new system. Was just wondering why the Evo doesn't seem to get as much recommendation here than elsewhere I've seen. Price/value thing?

Have been using EVO 850 and 840.

No problems at all.

Decent performance

830, 840 evo and 850 evo user. No problems so far, all drives are still working. 840 EVO has a performance degradation issud that requires routine "defrag" on the SSD.

No perceptible performance degradation on the 830/850 evo though. But for eDrive hardware encryption users you'll probably be quite disappointed with how wonky it is.

But that's an outstanding Intel SATA controller issue that's left without a fix. No reliability issues otherwise.

I am thinking of getting a 512GB SSD.. how about Samsung 850PRO?

Is the $100 price hike from EVO worthy of the additional 5yr warranty and marginally better performance? Tks.

I don't think so unless you really want the best of the best. Reviews indicate real world differences between the Evo and pro are marginal. The extra 5 years of warranty shouldn't matter to most users because very few of us will still be using that drive 5 years down the road much less 10.

using both the m.2 version and the 2.5" version for samsung evo. So far so good...

Probably price. But with Samsung/Crucial/Intel the key OEM SSD and NAND makers you can't really go wrong for data storage.

Not worth it at the rate how SSD prices are dropping.

Reliability = MTBF (depends on manufacturer)

Endurance = drive write per day (How many times it can be written over per day)

Most enterprise SSD uses MLC but they have different endurance. It depends on which model you are looking at.

TLC is a cheaper alternative because it has lesser endurance, it is targeted at consumer because of the lower endurance. (DWPD)

Below is an example

Zotac 480GB SSD, up to 480 TBW. 3 Years local warranty

To calculate the endurance. 480*0.48 = 230.4
This means you can write over 230.4 times of this zotac SSD.
If you are using for 3 years.
230.4/3/365 = write over 0.21 TB Per Day for 3 years (DWPD)
If you are using for 5 years
230.4/5/365 = 0.126TB Per Day for 5 years. (DWPD)

An SSD can be used for very long if you dont write over it repeatedly.

Remember that it is advertised (UP TO), so it depends on your luck and other components of the SSD.

so that why not many selling used ssd cause no buyer?

well so long u have the invoice from the lazada, u can use that to claim for warranty and beside that they also can check the invoice no from their system to tally with the one u have.

I used NEWSINGLAZ for $20 discount. You have to be a new signup to lazada. Coupled with shopback for additional cash back. Got it at 144 minus shipping fee.

Sandisk Ultra Plus is using MLC and Sandisk Ultra II is using TLC.
Sandisk Ultra II more expensive than Ultra Plus.
So, I should go for Sandisk Ultra Plus since it using MLC and it is cheaper?
