Hello /g/!

So I am falling for the SSD meme, what does /g/ thinks about this one?

Pros:

* price: 75€, 256gb
* amazon warranty (if it fails, i'm gonna get a new one for free)
* good size

Cons
* ???

Thank you /g/uys!

The most important factor in SSDs are write/read speed and you haven't mentioned those.

>>56336554

bzzt, wrong.
the most important factor is whether or not it's synchronous.

why
>>
>>56336634
because there's no point if I can't store shit
>>
>>56336434
Get X400 instead
>>
>>56336687
you are aware ssd's come in at 2tb+ now right
>>
>>56336716

Thanks! Will do!

>buying any SSD other than Samsung
>>
>>56336914

Samsung SSD are too overpriced..
Crucial and Sandisk SSD, although a little slower (nothing noticeable), are much more cheaper and interesting.
>>
>>56336936
samsung performs the best, has the best reliability, and doesn't outsource a single part of their ssds.

they also look sexy. it's worth the extra few bucks.
>>
>>56336936
Samsung are the most durable though, I've had my 840 Pro for over 2 years and it's still as good as new with hardly any remapped sectors.

https://techreport.com/review/27062/the-ssd-endurance-experiment-only-two-remain-after-1-5pb/4

>The 840 Pro and remaining HyperX are already on their way to 1.6PB.

That's 1.6PB of writes, and the 840 Pro handled it like it was nothing.

>Among the survivors, the Samsung 840 Pro seems to be on track to outlast its rivals. The drive has reallocated thousands of sectors to circumvent worn-out NAND, but its SMART attributes suggest substantial reserves are still available. There have been no errors thus far. In a sense, the 840 Pro has already won.

okay

Are you an imbecile or did you just not read the link I gave? You know, the source that backed up my claim?

I give recommendations for good things I use, like my post about my korean monitors here >>350145546

If that makes me a shill in your eyes you must be an idiot.
>>
>>56337018
In a world where paid shills actually exist ... yeah, maybe you don't.

>>56337067
nobody is being paid to shill to retards on 4chan

be real lol

You pay like €1 / gb

>>56336565
I thought the most important factor was the number of P/E cycles followed by latency
>>
>>56336983
950 Pro owner here and after 2 years I still have about 99% of the rated P/E cycles left.

(Plus 8 more years of manufacturer warranty)

>>56337072
>no shills on 4chan
not the anon you're arguing with, but surely even for a tripfag you can't be this new

doesn't matter much if your ssd can't write while reading or read while writing lol

There's no real difference between these things, they're all good and more or less equal nowadays.
It doesn't make a bit of a difference in normal daily use, whether the the drive reads 450 or 550Mb/s
People have said that they haven't even noticed any significant difference when jumping from 450Mb/s to 1500Mb/s.

So unless you're doing something like video editing or graphics work, just go and get something relatively cheap.
As long as the drive doesn't have a failure rate of 10%, you're good.
>>
>>56337157
Actually thats why it works because retards like you do not expect such things
>>
>>56337146
yeah and a fast dead drive is also useless

Besides, isn't simultaneous reading and writing just an IOPS limitation thing?

lmao...
>>
>>56336687
At least use one as a boot drive and get that performance boost. Of course it's dumb to buy one for documents and media.
>>
>>56337194
it's also controller related iirc.

Cons
Doesn't hold data
Not for archiving

The only reason to own an ssd is for your operating system and gayms
RAM is superior to SSDs in everyway
>>
>>56336434
Get an 850 Evo pretty good price / performance, kind of hard to beat by other budget drives.

>>56338702
SSD's cost more than double what a regular drive does for half the space. Why the fuck would i spend $200 for less than a half of a terabyte? Unless you have absolutely no budget constraints, the only real way to go is to buy a sub 128gb drive and boot your os from it.
>>
>>56338891

> Unless you have absolutely no budget constraints

We're not talking about a product that costs thousands.
These things are more than affordable at this point and they won't be destroying anyone financially.

>Why the fuck would i spend $200 for less than a half of a terabyte
Because this product is 10x faster than any mechanical drive.
Also it's more reliable, produces less heat and is completely silent.
Once you go SSD, there's no going back.
>>
>>56338956
A 1tb ssd is going to run you about $300. If you're build is already at $600 you're pushing the cost up by 50%, just for faster storage. They're definitely faster, and if you're trying to build a 1200 dollar computer I'd say go for it. But most people are limited in their budget, and to me an ssd costs too much compared to a mechanical drive. It's slower but I've been using one for years without issue.
>>
>>56338891
>SSD's cost more than double what a regular drive does for half the space.
THEN JUST SAY FOUR TIMES AS MUCH
>>
>>56338891
>Unless you have absolutely no budget constraints, the only real way to go is to buy a sub 128gb drive and boot your os from it.
Or just get a small SSD and use it as a cache drive for your array
>>
>>56338891
>implying 128GB isn't enough for an average user
You know you can store your anime girls on an HDD and just install your OS and software on SSD? Unless you're autistic enough to have more than 10 "massive" games on your computer, in which case 256GB should be enough.
>>
>>56339054
Why the fuck would you get a 1tb ssd?
>>
>>56339272
Windows 7 with all essential programs = 30GB
gayms = 200GB
meme folder = 700GB
CP = 40GB
I barely have 30GB left, SSD's are useless.
>>
so, is a samsung 120Gb 850 EVO a good choice for a cheap-ish ssd?
>>
>>56339315
So you can only use one storage device on your desktop? See >>56339266
Get a basic understanding of sequential and random access workloads. Your portn video will run at the same speed on an ssd as a hdd. So the go on the hdd. The OS requires random access speed so they go on the ssd.
>>
>>56339266
>>56339272
Because storage is an important factor to me. I have a lot of art assets, and lossless music recordings. On top of that i also tend to consume media like games and movies. It's really easy to use up 500gb. I already mentioned booting from an ssd and using a mechanical drive for storage, i just don't choose to do it.
>>
>>56339377
>implying I was serious
You just told me to check my own post :^)
>>56339404
See >>56339377
You don't need to store your media where your OS is.
>>
>>56339404
Don't blame your stupid choice on others then. Your choice is stupid and makes no sense. Your personal preference is devoid of logic.
>>
>>56336983
>That's 1.6PB of writes
Exactly, that's 1.6 Petabytes of data written to it. Even the ones that failed before it performed admirably and showed that failure through exhausting the flash is virtually impossible for the average end user. You'll have replaced the rest of your computer at least twice by that time.
>>
>>56336434
Any experience with Kingdian? Thinking of dropping a small one into my mSATA slot.
>>
How's the Kingston Uv400 120gb Sata 6gb/s?
>>
>>56339422
>>56339430
Please refer to >>56338891
I said booting from an ssd is a good option, but the anon before that was talking about ssds not being expensive, and 2tb drives being viable. It's like you're all incapable of reading.

Ssd drives are expensive, incredibly expensive compared to mechanical. I currently don't see them as a replacement to a mechanical drive, but you can use both and it's a working system.
>>
>>56339315
Why would you store images on a fucking SSD?
>>
>>56336434

Go for the Samsung EVO 750. About same price and you don't get scammed with changed hardware specs after the reviews are in.
>>
SSD's aren't a meme kid. They are the future.

Not even once

>storing bulk data on an SSD

I'm impressed you managed to solve the fucking captcha you idiot.
>>
>>56339762

I use two of these things at home (a 750 and 850) and almost every laptop (about two dozens) at work has a 840 or 850. We haven't had any problem with a single drive.

The 850 might not be worth the money but the 750 certainly is.

I'm impressed you managed to read the captcha retard.

no one stores large files on ssds unless they are in the editing business kid

>>56336731
You are aware that 60TB SAS SSDs now exist, right?
