You can buy american technology even if you don't live in America, you know that right? In fact, 90% of the big tech companies are based in America anyway, so you don't have a choice.
>>54668249
literal lmao.

i dont buy shitty ssds that require firmware updating
I still can't believe their 840 EVO SSD's lost over 50% performance after a while and it took them like a year to fix it via firmware update
this is why i will never buy a Samsung SSD and I have no idea why the idiots at reddit/4chan is recommending them
>>54668394
Are you implying samsung is american?
>>54668731
The 850 is doing great. The 840 skit is weird.
>>54668737
no but the manufacturing process is not all done in south korea. it gets passed to america where it is fitted with nsa backdoors. just like with any tech made in america, it'll have nsa backdoors.
>download update iso
>boot it from usb stick
>update firmware
WOW SO DIFFICULT
Holy shit I was initially thinking about getting one. Thank you OP
>unfamiliar with ssds
>hey Samsung is a big brand
>prolly good
>>54668708
so you don't buy SSDs at all
>>54668960
The 850 EVO (and pro) are the best sata 2.5" ssds you can get, both in performance and longevity. In fact, the 850 pro has the highest endurance out of any.

The hardware side of their SSDs are unmatched by anyone save for MAYBE Intel. It's no exaggeration that they have among, if not the best SSDs on that market.
The shit they're doing with their Magician software is a whole other story.

Samsung is overshilled.
Why do you have to fucking upgrade the firmware of a ssd?
>>54668249
show me any company nowadays that isn't a total scam
I recently bought a $1000 dell laptop, and goddamn do I regret it. I thought with a brand that big, old and serious, I'd be buying something worth the money, not a piece of shit that has years-old bug-filled audio drivers, usb ports that fail to work at all with random usb3 disk enclosures, other driver bullshit like diagonal screen tearing all the time (thanks nvidiscum) and being unable to fucking run linux on this thing (thanks again fucking nvidia scum!)
Literally every fucking company out there just produces polished gold turds, I can't trust anything anymore

My toaster has an NSA backdoor so I believe you.

THIS IS NOW A GET THREAD
>>54669751
This is exactly why I got a MacBook. OS X sucks dick on the daily, but the hardware isn't total shit.
Whats another good SSD brand that isnt USA made crap?

You got what you deserved.
>>54668249
Is this true? I'm kinda shocked to be honest...
>>54670968
It isn't true. All he needs to so is authenticate his drive but he's probably a shitskin and it's probably stolen.
>>54670968
No, Samsung only collects basic shit to make sure the drive is legit, they're not collecting your login credentials or credit card info.
>>54670876
So you paid 3x retail for your hardware because the case has a fruit on it.
