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

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

that sounds like a premium of 70 hitlerdollars to me
