It's still blue

>>57028789
one job, etc

Why would anyone buy a rebranded sandisk when they can just buy a sandisk?

I bet they're more expensive because muh WD.

>>57029928
Because Sandisk was bought by Western Digital, so you can probably expect the Sandisk name to go bye bye pretty soon

THEY HAD 1 (ONE) FUCKING JOB THOSE FUCKING STUPID CUNTS RUINING OPPORTUNITIES FUCKING NIGGER SCUM

>WD
the only reason people buy their overpriced shit is because of the no longer relevant Seagate failure rate memay

why the fuck would you want an even more pricey ssd?

>>57030664
Jesus fuck

ONE

JOB

>Hey you know how SSDs all have easily searchable model names that make cross tier and cross generation comparison easy? Yeah lets use our fucking worthless colour based scheme instead so that you need to search a 30 character string that may or may not be listed on the product page in order to read about the drive.

>>57031724

Nah that's where my tongue goes.

MSATA port, which is basically a 1 lane PCI-express slot

This one is mostly used in laptops though, desktops and servers use some other connector.

Theres like 5 different fucking connectors for SSD's right now when their used to be 1 (well for non server stuff anyways)

FUCK THAT I NEED A BLACK M.2 SSD
FUCKING FUCK WHY IS IT ALL BLUE AND GREEN

only black one is fucking $300

>>57032179
whats the fucking point
like just use an ssd bra

>>57028601

>M.2
>Read and Write 545 MB/s 525 MB/s
>500GB and 1TB $139.99 $299.99

What's the point of making a "slow" M.2 like that?
I mean why on earth would you pay for these, when you can get three times faster versions for nearly the same amount of money.
512GB Intel 600p costs 30$ more than this 500GB model and has reads at 1775 MB/s and writes at 560 MB/s.

>>57028601
I'd say about 95% of faulty drives I remove are WD

>>57032496
The same reason they are making 2.5" ssds that have 300 mb read/write
idiots will buy it

>>57032496
it's be cause they are shitty SATA M.2 drives, the black better be NVME, which would be bearable for a laptop which doesn't cost the earth but pointless for a desktop.

In the M.2 slot. If you don't have one, they make PCI express adapter cards. pic related.

>>57032496
M.2 is just the connector, they can be either SATA or NVME. SATA M.2 drives are primarily for laptops that don't support NVME.

Does anyone know of a UEFI BIOS mod for the x87 chipset (Specifically MSI GD65 Gaming) that allows OS booting from NVMe?

>WD GREEN
so... I get why HDD are green, but SSDs? Are they just being coy and playing hte marketing card just to sell decent SSDs and shitty ones?

>>57030908

WD is still a best
eat a dick, seashill

How many chromosomes do you have?

Wrong.

Usually down to the flash controllers and how aggressive (i.e power-hungry) they are set. Eco-friendly SSDs usually use less power at idle by turning off features and only use slightly less power than other SSDs when they're pushed to 100%. That comes at the cost of less performance overall. It's just that SSDs are almost instant in switching from a passive low-power state compared to spindle-platter drives.

Even then, the fastest SATA SATA (be it 2.5", mSATA, or M.2-SATA) only uses about the same amount of juice as a 2.5" 5900rpm platter drive at idle.

>>57031724
it's for laptop, goes in the wi-fi card msata slot iirc.

>>57032510
that's because 95% of all PCs use WD drives
