>>
>>100375023
They're pretty cheap now. You can get an external 4TB HDD for $80-100 in my country which is a bit more expensive than what 1-2 TB drives were going for in the mid 2010s if I remember right but I think the price is roughly the same if we take into account inflation.

It's hard to find info but I would be careful with anything that doesn't advertise all specs, including nand, dram, and controller. Only real testing I've seen is for the chia crypto thing and it basically reiterated that modern tlc /qlc drives are shit. Mlc is dead and controllers are swapped out constantly. Make frequent backups and don't leave your ssd umpowered.

Controller and NAND swapping doesn't necessarily mean reliability is worse when you're not looking to write it to death.
I think what it boils down to is when you otherwise have nothing else to criticize (especially if you just looking for bulk storage on an SSD) when it comes to less expensive things, you attack it's reliability even if you have no real data of mass issues

No one wants to feel like a moron for overpaying but at the same time they really hate the idea of buying something cheap. So bullshit is made up to cope
>>
>>100378830
True, not saying "avoid" but just be cautious. I know two people who have had an ssd randomly fail (one was a Samsung 870?), so price doesnt seem to have much effect. I guess I'm also in the boat of Gen 4 ssds being useless for most people if that makes you feel better
>>
>>100370863
my first 128gb ssd was 200€
>>
>>100374634
They are stuck around the 500€ price range for the most expensive ones in the consumer market, because almost no one will buy the more expensive stuff.
Was like that since the first SSDs, 256gb, 512gb, 1tb and so on.

windows caches on system ram. Also why bother with dram on SSDs? Oh no, my SSD will only last 20 years better buy one with dram.

What do we think about the Lexar NM790? It seems like great bang for the buck, by the standards of 4TB PCIe 4 NVMe TLC SSDs at the very least.

>>
>>100371209
I have the M.2 version of that. Adata quietly swapped the nand from that to QLC. Which is slower than HDD speeds.

Meaning that once you run out of the SLC cache then your drive will be slower than a HDD. I noticed it because I use the M.2 version as an external drive. I remember copying a 60gb file. First 10gb was at about 300mbps (remember it's attached via usb 3.0. So max speed is limited). But then the numbers dropped to 60mbs for rest of the transfer.

No, they should've bought U.2 instead. Disks with proper cooling and mounting built into the standard. Most M.2 devices are out of spec because they need heatsinks.

Well intel made a u.2 version of the 750. Ironically intel bet on both u.2 and pcie x4 with the first consumer NVME drive. And both standards would have been superior to m.2. But instead of buying the intel 750's people bought Samsung 950 pros. And that's why we are currently here.
>>
>>100382648
It would really be best if M.2 remained a standard for laptops and desktops got U.2 drives. But that's not the world we live in, people would rather have one universal spec, even if it fucks up the desktop market.

Patriot and Timetec make 256GB SSDs that sell for $21, thought the Patriot drives are low on TBW, they are viable in a pinch. Timetec seems to be great value, and SSD tech is supposed to be increasing in price throughout this year due to logistical issues, or the top brands like Samsung and WD are collectively being greedy dicks.

SSD for storage isn't a good as a HD?
HD lasts 4 years until it needs to be written over again. SSD 2-3 years before it leaks? Both are bad, almost like a llithium battery with no power left in it doesn't work anymore? Who needs that kind of battery.

*10+
The HD will suffer mechanical failure before any data rots/corrodes.

You can be just fine off with either for storage, but just keep in mind how often they will need maintenance and don't be a stupid, lazy moron and neglect your stuff until you lose data.

>>100374503
Unless it's a reliable, established brand like Kingston, who generally are just dumping their 128 and 256 gig drives when they're doing their crazy $20-40 SSD sales, you're getting screwed. If it's not aliexpress fake companies selling you SD cards in a case, it's shitty memory with no DRAM cache that you'd be better off ignoring in favor of buying a WD gold hard disk.

I didn't realize some of these do SATA over the m.2 connector. I just bought a 1TB SSD that I can't even use in my laptop.
Why the fuck wouldn't you just make it PCIe and put the sata controller on the peripheral? You need a controller to translate SATA to drive the flash chip anyway! Why did they make it so complicated?

>>100376931
People who care about SSD performance are probably fags running Gnome, running a data center, or filecoin miners (or all three)
If your whole OS/applications (or at the very least the working set of the stuff you use) doesn't fit in 8 fucking gigabytes of ram then you've done something wrong.

>>
>>100387917
>Why the fuck wouldn't you just make it PCIe and put the sata controller on the peripheral?

I can think of two reasons:
1) SATA controllers can handle multiple drives, so it's wasteful to add a SATA controller to each SSD instead of one or two SATA controllers on the motherboard handling all drives.
2) PCIe lanes are expensive and often in short supply. (this is probably the main reason).
>>

Why would it explode?
If anything it should run cooler in a desktop with proper heat sinks and plenty airflow.
>>
>>100387917
>a sata controller per device that gobbles up 2-4 pcie lanes to service that device
