believes the intel meme when other SSD's are perfectly fine for general use
>>51544512
bought recently 512GB crucial mx100
cost me 180€
>>51544455
Dam son I wish I had some money
Never buy noname brands for complicated electronics like SSD, only buy trusty brands like Intel.
They're negligibly more expensive, but the verification and quality is leagues better.
It's like comparing a Chinese to an American car, they both have the same numbers on paper but the difference is day and night.

I will always buy Intel™ because I only play games with Intel Inside™. Intel also pioneers innovative new technologies like Hyper Threading Technology™, Intel Rapid Start Technology™ and the highest quality chipsets to ever grace motherboards.
When I boot up with a brand new Intel™ i7™ with the latest Z chipset, I can enjoy the games the way they where meant to be with Intel Inside™. Intel™ also delivers a far more silkysmooth experience with its Hyper Threading Technology™.
Intel i5™ is also very power efficient. A processor is the most power hungry device in your house. Air conditioners, water heaters, lights, etc all use less power than a processor. Which is why Intel™ puts gamers first by ensuring that their gaming experience is of the highest quality while looking out for gamers by giving them the most value in their electrical bill.
At this point in time, there's really no reasons to consider an AMD processor at all. I tried once, it caused so much heat that it exploded and nearly burnt down my house. It also consumed so much power that it produced an EMP and destroyed not only the rest of my computer but my entire neighborhood.
Intel™ also pioneered how useless MORE CORES is with the i™ series processors. Years ago, everyone thought MORE CORES were the future. Now, Intel™ has debunked that myth entirely and increased efficiency. Now you can save thousands a year in electricity thanks to Intel™ with its powerful IPC. MORE CORES will never be part of Intel's™ line up.
It's quite clear that OPs an AMD shill trying to convince you to settle on something less than the optimal experience with Intel Inside™. Intel™ is the only real way to play games. We have seen recently that they offer incredible libraries for software developers like Intel C++ Compiler. He is probably too poor to afford the Intel Inside™ experience and can not afford to play any games.
Don't be a poor gamer with bad chipsets and a huge power bills. Play games with Intel Inside™

>>51544512
yea, to echo what this guy is saying, i think i'm only gonna buy things with samsung or intel controllers or marvell controllers and mlc nand.
maybe i'll put in an exception for the 850 evo since it is 3d nand.
>>51544690
>American cars
i have a crucial m500 240gb, mx200 250gb, and bx100 250gb. also a samsung 850 evo m.2 250gb ssd.
so far, no complaints. they all have been running great.
if you're looking for a great game storage drive you can't beat that bx100 500gb. its absolutely fantastic as a game storage drive.
also don't forget about samsung and the 840 evo line

my friend also has a crucial m4 and a samsung 830 evo and no complaints as well.
Never buying Crucial again, so many other brands have more written to them and still 100% health.
At the rate this drive is going it'll die at around 184725GB which is about 180.40TB
No where near the Petabyte people are fucking claiming.

>i have 3 ssds
>my intel 330 died and took all the data with it

>>51544746
This. Nothing like a giant V8 that produces 170hp.
How are the Sandisk drives compared to Samshill/Crucial/Intel?
>>51544705
Is this new pasta? Never seen it before.
>>51544970
they were great and still are as far as reputation and issues are
they are one of the very few large ones who have clean slate on the fuck up front
but... they switched for TLC on their budget line and so far everyone who went for TLC had serious performance drop, except samsung, they only had mild drop compared to their MLC line
so yeah, they are fine, even great, just stay away from TLC ones
>>51544955
Bullshit American internal combustion engines are years ahead of Asian/Euro tech in terms of efficiency and environmental friendliness
>buying American cars
Enjoy your recalls, nerds.

>>51544955
Is it 1975 again?

There is a 960gb SSD by SanDisk for 199 US dollars.

Hopefully there will be a 1TB deal on black friday tomorrow, gonna be pissed if I miss out.
>>51546196
you srsly cant be that poor
>>51544935
>>51545719
why are you below 100%? I abused mine over twice as much but it still shows 100. Now im worried that it isnt computed correctly

What is a credit card? I don't even have a high limit m8.
>>51546332
u gonna be in the red all the time m8 if u use it to buy stupid shit like this
>>51546375
Considering I've had this card for 7 years and I've got a negative balance I think I'm ok m8. But why wouldn't he buy it?
He buys it today he pays it within 30 days, there is no interest and he got the deal he wanted.
This is literally the best use of credit.
>ssd
>500gb
Get the 1Tb flash drive. It will serve you better
>>51544455
Did alright. Newegg gave me a free $10 coupon as a customer reward, so I used it to replace my Sanidsk Ultra plus 128 GB SSD with this one:
- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=20-228-119
Nothing wrong with the Sandisk, but the reliability and increased size of the AMD-Radeon (an OCZ rebrand) will be nice, and there should be a noticeable performance bump.
I had been hoping to get something like an 850 EVO / 250 GB SSD, for ~$65, but I think this will be an acceptable trade-off. Lose a little space, reliability should be at least the same, and performance should rival an 850 Pro. For $55.
Expecting delivery tomorrow and clone over my system sometime during the weekend. Might even install fresh Win7 Ult since my existing install is from mid-2013 and has had a fair number of test software 7 games installed/uninstalled. Be a good time to begin with a fresh registry and block out the worst of the botnet updates.
>>51546254
Because Crucial fucking sucks, my friends running Intel and even Kingston V300s are still at 100%
>>51544690
>no good video cards on sale
I just wanted a relatively cheap upgrade. How does a gtx 960 compare to a gtx 580 anyway?
>>51546768
You would want the 960, especially with 4 GB and a base clock in the ~1250 MHz range. Easily outperforms the 580 and uses something like half (or less) the electricity to do it.
This one:
- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487164
was available for $179.99 w/ free delivery last week. At that price, it's just silly to even waste time looking at 580s.
>>51545719
here are mine
>>51545041
i've seen it it before and always kek at it but its not as popular as the nvidia one
never updated my firmware either kek
>>51544942
Every ssd from before a year and half ago was shit anon you should know this
>>51547560
What changed?
>>51547569
They were just unreliable as fuck
>>51547560
2 and a half*
>>51544455
goddamn I got a 250GB Crucial for that price a year ago
damn good price
>>51544512
m8 I bought a 256GB Crucial M4 mSATA SSD back in 2012.
They work perfectly.
Intel is bar none the most reliable manufacturer but you're a retard to say that Crucial isn't reliable.
>>51547843
Crucial's health drops like no tomorrow, less than 200TB lifespan on a 256 MX100

fuggin whut
>>51547903
>Crucial's health drops like no tomorrow, less than 200TB lifespan on a 256 MX100
Meanwhile the 850 evo is rated for 75tb.
>>51544512
>a reliable Intel
good goy
>>51548098
It's an AMD-branded SSD made by OCZ. I think it's based on the OCZ Vector 150/180, not the slightly cheaper Vertex.
>>51547903 see >>51547225
>>51549796
You have less than a TB written you asshat.
>>51549841
>2tb is les than a tb
>>51544650
Kingston 120 GB for $40. That's roughly the same cost per dollar.
>>51548145
anandtech tested the 840 evo and it lasted 750 TB. The 850 should last even more

fuging dye alrdy
ALL I WANT IS A CORSAIR K70 FOR A REASONABLE PRICE IN CANADA
IS THAT SO MUCH TO ASK FOR?
>>51550168
w/e faggot, Sandisk employ Toshiba NAND in all their middle-upper range drives, if you do a little research you would know they are the original inventor of flash memory, NAND and 3DNAND
>>51550168
> if they actually made RAM
Not forgetting Sandisk has nearly owned the flash memory market for two decades.
Sandisk does not have a reputation for the highest performance, especially at the budget end.
But, they are as reliable or more than most every brand on the market. For about 95% of all uses, the minor performance hit makes no difference to end-users.
I'd much rather have an SSD that I have some confidence will not shit itself without warning and erase critical data & files from my life. Sandisk is a MUCH better bet than most.
As a matter of fact, I have two 60 GB and a 128 GB Sandisk SSD in service since mid-2013-ish or so. Been very happy with them. The only thing I don't use them for is heavy gaymeming. I lost a Samsung 830 and a Vertex 4 after ~100 hours or so of service each ... which I got to eventually replace the Sandisk drives. Never happened. Ended up keeping those systems on the Sandisk SSDs and no regrets, apart from dropping ~$130 on the 128 GB 830 and ~$140 on the 128 GB Vertex4. Samsung did right by me and I eventually got an 840 out of it; the Vertex was a complete write off and is performing service in a landfill somewhere.

the controller is what fucks up
even if a nand cell fails, it will just be removed from the map
the controller is what fucks up on SSDs
What are the guidelines for SSD?
Talking about ranges and brands to avoid
interested mostly in the ones in the 60-64 gb and 120-128 gb range
>>51552203
Safe (but usually expensive):
Samsung
Intel
Bang for buck:
SanDisk
Kingston?
Crucial*
*See anons above for argument over longevity.
>>51547903
I got a Crucial C300 from 2010 and I'm only at 97%. And why does having 100% matter? Can you tell me exactly why? I thought so. It doesn't really matter.
>>51544455
What the fuck do you people store on your SSDs? Why would you ever need more than 120GB for OS and programs?
>>51552467
do not buy v300 or "hyperx fury" from kingston though, i dont know about other models but avoid those
>>51544942
Clearly he meant a real Intel shit like the 730 and 750 series, not some afterthought for people on welfare.
>>51552467
>Safe
>Samsung
>ft Samshit's patented diefast technology
Lolno fuck off and don't even try put Samsung on the same level as Intel for SSDs.
>>51553208
Every Kingston SSD I've owned since 2008 or so has been fucking garbage.
Avoid them all.
>>51553192
most used programs and games. It's nice having more than 3-4 games installed at a time. 120GB is pretty small and a 256GB SSD and higher performs quite a bit better than a 120GB. Plus games have way bigger installs now.
>>51544690
>Crucial
>Noname
Crucial is literally part of Micron, Micron are the people who made 3d Xpoint with Intel
You are a fucking mentally impeded retard
Btw Crucial MX200 is the best SSD ever made this is undeniable fact
>>51553167
It matters as it gives an estimate of how much writes your SSD will be capable of.
Contrary to that test about SSDs hitting Petabytes before dying, Crucial SSDs are not even hitting the 200TB mark.
Hell a shitty Intel 300 series from the test hit 300TB before hard stopping itself.
Which makes the Crucial worse than the bottom of the barrel intel
>>51544746

Do I have to be worried ?

Yes that SSD is slow as shit, thanks for pointing out how awful Kingston is.
I can't find any drives near that price/capacity today but quite a few 480gb's at this kind of price, is this any good?

fugg off child. Curcial is a micron brand its been around just as long as apple has its by no means a no name brand.
>>51544935
you should be on the firmware Mu-02
its dieing becuse you didn't update it
Mu_01 is a shitty frimware.
>>51544970
if Sandisk go for ultra 2 or pro
>>51547569
controllers had bad frimware. Bricked up alot etc
>>51547903
200tb uses up that fast?
i don't think so, also get better frimware.
>>51548429
you do realise that samsung owns OCZ now right?
>>51553781
that was with the MU_01 not MU_02 frimware now fuck off intel.
Curcial is fine now sine the update fuck benchmarks always the old crap.
>>51553975
why not? its not a hdd its not going to stay at 99%.
SSD's just dont work like that anon.
If you care about quality you buy Intel. not Chinese knockoff brands copying Intel
