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
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
It's not like everyday, but once every week or more
and when i mean "very large source files" i mean like you just pulled off some 8k footage from your $12k RED camera that has ssds for storage
not like your ~4gb frag video that you record using OBS
I was thinking more along the lines of 10s/100s GB
eh that still doesn't sound demanding enough to use a nvme drive with
i work with 2-20s gb of video files and those are on hard drives
True, but then again, it's not like this 'premium' is gonna cost me that much anyway
and you dont have any reason not to have that speed there incase you need it
specialy if the price is same
and you have free slots etc
From where I live I can get and SX8200 Pro 1TB for 170 deutschmarks, on the other hand a normal 1TB Sata SSD will cost me around 100 deutschmarks
