Bob NewSCART posted:https://m.newegg.ca/Product/index?itemnumber=N82E16820301313 $90 for 240gb isn't even that cheap. While given the reviews it's probably not going to die unreasonably soon it's probably going to have middling performance as a no name TLC drive and there's no reason not to get a Sandisk X400 instead.

Bob NewSCART posted:I was just eyeing a Samsung 850 evo that's a daily on eBay for 89.99. Those are one of the more highly recommended drives correct? Yeah, 850 EVO is the default recommendation for home use, X400 if you want something cheaper that is still ok.

BobHoward posted:, and end up with a good result. Uhhhhhh I wouldn't call the current Intel consumer drives good. Adequate perhaps but not good (as in "has a reason to exist when 850 EVO/X400 exist")

WhyteRyce posted:Review of the Optane system accelerator up ... meh? "Make lovely spinning drives great again" is hard to get excited about even if it's done well. It'll be more interesting to see if the performance/price of 3d Xpoint will reach a point where they become a viable consumer product that's interesting to people other than reviewers and rich gamers who insist on 1337 performance no matter the cost.

Potato Salad posted:"Brick" means "I don't write anymore" in this case. This is very good and cool for a business drive (it forces idiot employers to replace hardware instead of trying to ~extract value~ for a decade after it becomes obsolete) but kinda annoying for a consumer drive where you don't really give a poo poo about the data integrity of your video game/porn collection.

I didn't keep up on SSD news for a year or so, is the MX500 any good? It's the cheapest SSD from a non-poo poo tier vendor on amazon and I want to get one to make a Dell workstation with dual Xeons another lab threw out usable for human beings in 2018 (it just had a blown capacitor in the PSU so I got a new PSU and now it works, but it has ancient spinning rust that's probably smaller than the 12 sticks of RAM in it).

TITTIEKISSER69 posted:I know Intel made 180GB SSDs, do they still? Are there any SSDs in between the 120/128GB and the 240/250/256GB capacities? Why do you want a 180GB SSD? The price jump from 120 to 250 isn't that big so the only possible use case where going either up or down isn't better I can imagine is "home server but with applications and random data on the boot drive  " or "5000 shitboxes built to a specific spec as cheaply as possible"

Pastry Mistakes posted:We let the windows installation perform the format twice, and after we saw the drives persist after the second reformat, that's when he offered to format the drive. What you call "raw" is exactly what the drive should look like after a full format or fresh out of the box, though in that case it also shouldn't have any recovery partitions and system partitions left. Nuke all partitions and make a new one. Overall it sounds like your mainboard rather than the SSDs is at fault, and I suspect it's nothing more than a BIOS setting (plus if you have issues installing poo poo and keep using a USB-SATA connector instead of just plugging the drive into a SATA port then you are missing an obvious troubleshooting step, or were you trying to say you only used the USB-SATA on your family member's computer?): if you have quick boot (iirc) enabled then you can't boot from USB at all. suck my woke dick fucked around with this message at 03:21 on Mar 11, 2018 |
