all cables break eventually but if they only last you a month you might be stepping on them, twisting them etc.

Yes

how bad are stock drivers? thinking for a gift

What brand should I get if I’m buying a Chink SSD?

Kingdian s280 but check locally first

ssds are so cheap these days i dont think chinks are worth anymore

Does Adata qualifies as a chink brand for SSD? I'm hesitating between the 'top' ADATA SX8200 Pro and the Samsung 970 Evo Plus. According to UserBenchmark they are about the same on average but Adata is way better at sustain write/read while the Samsung is better (though sometimes slightly) on everything else. https://ssd.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Samsung-970-Evo-Plus-NVMe-PCIe-M2-500GB-vs-Adata-XPG-SX8200-Pro-NVMe-PCIe-M2-1TB/m700020vsm638791

userbenchmark is a meme

^

don't use userbenchmark

(but I can also buy 1TB Adata for almost the price of 500 GB Evo Plus)

What should I use then?

reviews? from review websites? like andandtech, tom's hardware, etc

ADATA is just a regular company

Yeah but was asking more like 'which one would be reliable'

Shit you can buy ADATA in stores

also you don't need samsung evo performance if you're here asking us about it

That’s the opposite of Chink shit

Or is it just 'avoid Userbenchmark, every other is valid'?

UBM is a massive unreliable meme

Even reddit mocks it

avoid anything that didn't do repeatable tests

tho reddit mocking something does not make it all that true

samsung drives are super reliable, but chances are you will die before you completely write to one and break it. while I can't speak for su800, i imagine by the time you reach the end of its lifecycle it'll be like 2040

Also I need a samsung evo performance because I have a small dick

if you wanted samsung evo performance then just buy nvme

SX8200 is nvme

Adata claims to be on par with Samsong top nvme SSDs

With this one

samsung evo is pretty bad value, i guess they just kinda went off the deep end and didn't bother to match the market price

also quickly checking their https://ssd.userbenchmark.com/Faq/What-is-the-effective-SSD-speed-index/42 does not bring any larger "WHY"s on at least from me

you're not going to notice a difference between sata and nvme ssd's as a home user, _unless_ you're copying sequential files very often

the only use case i can think of with nvme is if you're a content creator and work with very large source files often

I do but not that often

Hence why I'm tending to think of the more 'budget friendly' adata
