Can someone stop the fucking trolling for a second and tell me if I should get one of these?

No
>>52265149
if you want storage buy a HDD they are way cheaper
if you want a system disk buy an SSD
>>52265237
This. HDD for mass storage (most programs, videos, music, pictures, etc). SSD for your OS install (and for games with atrocious load times)
Please do not support memetech.
>>52265248
Programs should go on the SSD.
>>52265248
Programs go on the SSD.... Media and data should hp on the HDD
It's fucking 2016. Put everything on the SSD.
>>52265317
This tb h
>>52265317
maybe in 2020 when 1tb ssd's are 50$
Still have my SSD from 2013, I honestly can't go back to non SSD computers. I'll probably get an m.2 SSD in the next year or 2 since they're faster than regular SSDs
>>52265317
if you have lots of money, yeah
but you don't suddenly get richer just because it is 2016
>>52265344
Best make that in 2 years. M2/NVRAM/Etc SSD research is rapid right now.
>>52265248
>SSD: Operating system, programs, games,
>HDD: Videos, music, pictures, documents, backups.
At least until SSDs become cheap enough to be used as your sole storage.
>>52265352
Oh, thanks for the heads up
>>52265149
If and only if you are absolutely positive you need it. It's a lot more comfortable, especially on laptops compared to 5400rpm HDDs. Not so much compared to WD Black or the like. The boost is most noticeable upon gathering random data, so the opertating system will be a lot more responsive in actions like opening start menu, opening random files, etc. No performance boost. I know what I'm saying, my laptop is retardedly slow (5400rpm hdd) compared to my desktop (ssd + raid0 from two 7200rpm hdds).
if you dont have an SSD by now youre retarded as fuck. When did SSD's become a "meme", good lord

Games go on the ssd? Or just certain ones lke GTAV.
Do SSDs still have shit life/reliability?
What size is needed?
What brands to get/avoid?
pls feed babby
>>52266494
this video is so biased, no fucking way HDDs are that slow.
>>52266729
Get 250gb because 128 is only slightly cheaper. It's not that more expensive to get almost double the size.
Get Samsung, Toshiba or Adata and avoid Kingston
>>52265149
depends, do you already have a decent PC with a 1tb HDD? if yes, adding an SSD and reinstalling your OS on it will give you a nice performance boost all around.
>>52266729
> Do SSDs still have shit life/reliability?
no, they actually are slightly more durable than HDDs
> What size is needed?
256GB minimum
> What brands to get/avoid?
Get SanDisk or Samsung, avoid Kingstom
Pic related are my speeds, feels good m8, 10 seconds boot with disk encryption enabled.
>>52265149
If you are dumb enough to ask this question, then the answer is no, retards like you don't deserve nice things!
Do you need/really want the speed and can afford it
Yes.
Do you want more affordable space solutions
No.
This should be simple. They are good products, build quality is fine, speed is fine, price to performance is good. Rest is on the consumer.
>>52266917
AVOID SAMSUNG!
>>52265149
>trolling
It's called baiting now, get with the times gramps.
>>52266960
why anon kun?
>>52265149
YES
SSDs are biggest technology leap in decades,
spinde HDDs (~ 80x slower than RAM) have
been bottlenecking PCs for decades.
>>52265149
Got the $$$, want the speed? Ok.
No? Ok.
It is a luxury, not a necessity.
>>52266981
motherboard does not recognise as not device
i have 0 problems with crucial drives
>>52265149
Yes you should no you shouldn't
>>52266798
I meant SanDisk not Toshiba
>>52265248
>>52265356
Videos and music should always go on the SSD or else you will constantly hear the HDD rotating whenever you want to listen to a video/music.
>>52265149
#1 Absolutely not
#2 Can you stop posting for a second and make a decision for yourself for once
>>52265149
If you use Windows, yes, if not, it's probably not worth it unless you do a lot of I/O intensive stuff
>mfw i've been running my 850 EVO in IDE mode all this time
>mfw switching to AHCI
yes op it is worth it
>>52265149
yes.
just don't get the pro, the evo is all you need.
as for the trolling, you're on fucking 4chan what do you expect!

Samshit pls.
Reminder that you can't even defrag your files if you save them to a ssd.
>>52269476
this.
the pro has like 2% better read and 2%worse write, or something.
>>52267054
Seconding Crucial.
My 2012 M4 has lasted brilliantly.
>>52267140
who the fuck doesn't have noise cancelling headphones?
I have 850 EVO. my first SSD. good working
>>52269579
hue hue hue
It would be nice if it actually made sense to defrag an SSD but doing so would be like moving spokes on a bicycle wheel. All data is already accessible as fast as possible. Defrag would be pointless and just waste cycles.
>>52269579
>tripfag attempting to bait
>>52267140
>hear the HDD rotating
>tfw this is how a HDD works
>>52266760
Nope. They really are that slow. 2,5' HDDs are shit.
>>52269673
no, the pro has slightly more read, but hihger write speed and has more write cycles.
aka its a scratch drive NOT an OS drive
>>52265149
Not using the cloud!
:3~~c
I've had it for 6 months and it's still working fine.
You can extrapolate my one use-case to infer that it's a great product.
If you don't want to splurge yet use the hybrid approach with one SSD for OS and programs and the rest goes on the HDD
>>52265149
An SSD? Yes. A Samsung one? No.
>>52270499
Care to back it up? Samsung SSD's have the best performance/price/reliability ratio on the market right now.
>>52270544
Sketchy reliability. I'd go with sandisk or intel.
>>52270564
Proofs?
Intel makes the best SSD, they never fail, ever.
>>52270081
>See someone shit talking HDDs
>>52270544
>>52270499
>>52270564
Samsung is totally fine. Everyone uses that shit
Stop being a shill
>>52267140
low rpm HDD is very quiet though.

Mine did.
Wiped all my data. ("8MB bug")
>>52265149
if you use mechanical HDD now, then absolutely. If you use SSD, depends on which SSD.
>>52270685
>Algolia posted a new update. Turns out The issue was the Linux Kernal, not the SSDs. Update from today, July 17th, "Samsung had a concrete conclusion that the issue is not related to Samsung SSD or Algolia software but is related to the Linux kernel. Samsung has developed a kernel patch to resolve this issue and the official statement with details will be released tomorrow, July 18 on Linux community with the Linux patch guide."

Fucking zozzle
>>52265149
Summit1g uses 4 SSDs in his computer, so yes, you should get one or more.
Difference between internal and external SSD my family?
>>52265149
Yes, but you won't believe anyone who gives you an answer, so do what you want.
not really, if you actually needed one you would know.
>>52269764
Thirding Crucial.
I've never had any problem with any crucial memory or storage. They're just good at what they do.
