Never buy a Kingston SSD. if you want one that cheap, get the Sandisk.
I don't know
Can you repeat the question?
It is shit because you can buy SLC SAS2 SSD @ $.25 a gig if you are patient enough.
You can even buy Micron p320h @ 0.5 and it is still god tier despite new batch of NVMe SSDs because over 10wpd durability

Do some research. They are literally one of the worst SSDs you can buy.
Funny because I have one of these and have a Samsung evo on the way tomorrow to replace it.
>>51621163

>>51621163
>>51622626
not sure for price/performance.. i bought one 2 years ago and still running strong.
>>51621163
Mate you need 420 Niggabytes
>>51622785
My laptop gives me 600r/450w, that's a poor performing SSD anon.
I have one of these in my pfSense box and I keep seeing this screen. Not sure if because of SSD or something else.
>>51623065
exactly
>>51622785
Wow I have one of those in my laptop, glad I got a real ssd for my rig
>>51623291
For how long have you been with that SSD?
>>51623396
About 2.5 years, I can't believe the health is still at 100%
>>51621163
Yes.
For the same price you can get something that haves twice its perfomance and around 10 times its lifetime.
Sandisk SSD Plus.
Few bucks more? Sandisk SSD Ultra ll.
kingston is literally the worst ssd brand you can get. ocz is even better
but if you can only afford a 128gb you need to keep saving your allowance
I cannot recommend any budget SSD other than the Crucial BX100
>>51623624
BX100, Sandisk Plus/Ultra ll and 850 Evo are the only options when it comes to budget SSD.
>>51623663
As a dedicated work space and steam game drive, is it worth the extra money for a 1tb pro vs an evo? Theyre like $150 in difference. Warranty I dont care about because my original non pro 840 and 840 evo are still kicking after using and abusing them since they came out.
Currently have a 250gb 850 evo with no problems. Just I mean why is the pro so much more? People mentioned Mlc vs tlc? Or something along those lines.
>>51623663
And Intel.
>>51623708
Which intel SSD is considered a Budget SSD?
>>51623707
>From EVO to PRO
The change wont be that big.
>>51623740
All of them.
Except the pcie ones, those are shit.
>>51623269
yes. that is a failing ssd.
>>51621163
It does fine, I've deployed them multiple times, pulls out 450~470mbps.
It's a cheap decent SSD to hold you over till 3DXpoint.
Enjoy paying double the price for an extra 30~50ish mbps that you won't notice in the real world.

>>51623551

no, don't listen to him, don't get one. you can get way, way better ssd's for almost or just as cheap. bx100, sandisk plus or ultra II
>>51623880
Damn. I guess you get what you pay for.

The fucking thing has a maximum write of 185mbps
>>51623937
That's actual on-time, so strangely, he isn't on his computer 16 hours a day.
I've had a Sandisk for even longer and it just broke 98% lololol. My Samsung 830 is at 99%.
>>51623950
>bx100, sandisk plus or ultra II
Tons of really sick deals on these lately.
>>51621163
I've had one for several years now, works great, was extremely cheap, boots windows 7 in about 25 seconds
>>51624064
I have an 850 evo and windows 7 booted up in about ten seconds, and 8 boots up in about three. it's not a great ssd
Why do people overthink this so much?
Just get the 850 EVO, it's has the best performance currently at an affordable price.
If you want more performance the next big jump are the 950 PRO series.
>>51624004
>buying a 120GB SSD
It's like you're homeless or something.
With the shit Crucial pulled with their MX100 drive health dropping so fast that the drive won't even reach 200TB life, I'm probably not buying another Crucial.
Plently of people on /g/ with more writes and more health left.
The fucking reviews on the internet saying SSDs will hit a petabyte of writes and even the bottom of the barrel intel 300 series hitting 300TB
I bought a SSD to be used, not to pamper it by running pagefiles and all my write shit on a mechanical like I'm doing right now. Why did I even bother with this SSD if I'll have to do all my stuff on a slow ass mechanical anyways?

I got one for 25 bucks. Did I still fuck up?

My WD blue does the same, isn't the black supposed to be higher?
My WD GREEN does 100~147MB/s lol

>>51624876
also dual processors on some, and 5yr warranty.
New blue drives come in 5400RPM versions while some blacks can spin up to 10,000RPMs
any reason to not use RAPID mode?
>>51624797
i only reboot when i install something, otherwise its running 24/7, gotta keep my ratio's up
that's like once or twice a month i guess?
WD is gimping their Blue series with lower RPMs
or lower amount of cache depending on model.
>>51624997
sadly my torrent stats got wiped a while back, i'd love to know what my total upload has been over the last ten years or so
>>51624979
it takes up ram, probably OK if you have 16gbs though
Well, I bought the Kingston 120gb when they where new, and have used them for 2 years as a raid 0 array as my main boot drive. I bought 2 new one to make a raid 0 with 4 drives.
but I noticed the new where lighter than the old.
but they work just as good, all drives work fine in raid 0 with 4 drives or 2. in anycombo, s they preform fine, ive since changed my setup to have my boot os on a singel ssd, and make a raid 0 out of the 3other disks and use as ram insted.
they seem to work just fine.

>>51621163
Yes. Get the SanDisk SSD PLUS instead. Same price.
>>51622785
Why is the write speed so slow? My HDD has a better write speed.
>>51625027
Just get that blue one that has 6 million positive reviews on Amazon and Newegg.
>>51625301
Because Kingston makes shit SSDs. I bought one unfortunately too. For a long time they were the only budget SSDs so lots of people got duped, especially because Kingston use to make good SSDs.
you jelly /g/?
>>51625336
SSDNOWS ARE SHIT, HYPERXS WERE THE GOOD KINGSTONS
THEY WERE THE 850EVO OF THEIR DAY
>>51621230
This. OP should not buy from shit companies.
>>51621163
Personally I like the Sandisk ones better, had better experiences with them, but I have one of the SSDNow 300V ones from Kingston that I bought a bit ago and it has been just fine as well... but I do seem to feel that the Sandisk ones were faster.
Of course that's not really much, they're both huge improvements over HDDs.

Might as well just use a hard drive. My velociraptor beats that score. With ease.

Those are SATA2 speeds.

>>51627152

I'm a freetard and I just got an SSD.
pls recommend some benchmark tools
>>51627219
Write your own.
Enjoy your freedom.
I have a Kingston in my old SATA2 laptop. No problems thus far. It's not had a lot of use since I got it though.
>>51621163
Apparently they work fine and then they start to throttle or something when they start wearing out
>>51627001
How are you getting such a high read speed on SATA2? I can't break 260MB.
>>51621163
I use this so called piece of shit and im satisfied, not the best, but ok.
>>51621163
I read some Amazon reviews and they said to avoid like the plague. They said they advertise faster speeds than the actual speed.
>>51621163
i sell them like candy
they perform OK at 250/200 R/W on sata 3.0 with i7
faster than any mechanical drive for seek times of course
i have written over 4 TB on 4 of them only 1 showed a replaced sector.
they just werk
>people still considering the v300 after the whole nand flash switch fiasco
What, too poor to shell out the extra ~$15-25 for an 850 Evo?
>>51627708
This.
Cheapest ssd my wholesaler has.
Normies can't tell the difference between 500mb/s and 200mb/s.
Sells like hot cakes because kingston is a recognized brand.
I don't care, it's making me profit.

>>51621230
Listen to this guy OP. Unless you enjoy being screwed over.
>>51627835
Yeah I guessed that after thinking about it.
>>51627760
They make an OK budget SSD for those who go in with their eyes wide open. I knew about ths issues when I got mine for a good deal at the time. But since it is on SATA2 anyhow I could not see much reason to not go for it.
>>51624979
Why is this guy's speed 10x the others itt?
Samsung vs Sandisk SSDs, which is better /g/? And by better, obviously it's subjective, pros and cons of each would be greatly appreciated

Is the Kingstone Fury 120 GB worth 50€?

>>51625027
It's because they're discontinuing greens.
>>51621163
slow ssd
faster than hdd
>>51628022
TL;DR version -
Samsung 850 Evo has objectively better performance than Ultra II across the range.
Both drives use TLC with different implementations. 850 Evo uses 40nm 3D NAND lithography while Ultra II uses 19nm flat (single layer) NAND.
It really depends what capacity you're looking at and when you want to buy, in my opinion the SanDisk SSDs are worth it if they're on sale at a decent enough discount (50% ideally)..
>>51628172
what are you doing on my board bozoh
>>51628717
Trying to decide if I want this SSD for my laptop.
Already got a Crucial M2 MX200 and 2.5" BX 100 in my PC
>>51628724
this is not kpg silly cat poster
I have it in this laptop I'm using it at the moment.
I believe the SSD is about 4 years old, posting mark and info.
It costed me 90€ back when I bought it.
Does anyone know what are the speeds on a 250gb 850 evo?
>>51628706
To clarify:
"The memory used is built on a 19nm manufacturing process and using horizontal layers, rather than the 40nm vertical layers chosen by Samsung for its 3D V-NAND system."

>tfw I almost get that write speed on a 2+ year old toshiba canvio external hdd
>>51628954
I get about 120MB/s write and 140 read, from my external wd scorpio black through my dock.
Only on large files though, lots of small files is obviously slower.
>>51623590
128 gb is overkill. / doesn't need to be larger than 15gb, and 50 gb for /usr is more than plenty. /var, / home and /swap (assuming you need it at all) goes on your non-ssd bulk storage drive, and /tmp goes in tmpfs. So it's not about affording shit, so much as its about not being a complete n00b. Stick with OSX or Windows gaming if all you're concerned with is being fashionable.
>>51622785
>99.59MB/s Sequential Write
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
My shitty Hitachi SATA2 drive hits 110MB/s
>>51621163
I've owned it for over 6 months working great honestly nothing wrong with it it's faster than any hdd
>all these retards obsessing over sequential read/write
/g/ pls
Paid $40 for my PNY SSD about 5 months back, speeds are ok, do wish I got a 240gb though
the 850 evos are like $70 for the 120gb and $80 for the 240gb on newegg, dunno how that pricing makes sense.
>>51621163
For the price it's OK, but don't expect high performance.
I have two 500gb Kingston SSDs which switched computers twice, had a fuckton of files on them and moved off them and moved back on, I installed various operating systems on and whatnot.
Also, they're a good four years old by now. I don't know how fast current gen SSDs are since I haven't had the need to buy any new ones yet, so I can't make any comparisons in terms of speed, but in terms of doing what they should do, these things still work perfectly fine.
