if you wanted samsung evo performance then just buy nvme

2019-06-18 12:50:55 UTC  

SX8200 is nvme

2019-06-18 12:51:22 UTC  

Adata claims to be on par with Samsong top nvme SSDs

2019-06-18 12:51:26 UTC  

With this one

2019-06-18 12:51:32 UTC  

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

2019-06-18 12:51:42 UTC  

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

2019-06-18 12:52:08 UTC  

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

2019-06-18 12:52:51 UTC  

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

2019-06-18 12:53:05 UTC  

I do but not that often

2019-06-18 12:53:16 UTC  

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

2019-06-18 12:53:33 UTC  

It's not like everyday, but once every week or more

2019-06-18 12:53:40 UTC  

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

2019-06-18 12:54:01 UTC  

not like your ~4gb frag video that you record using OBS

2019-06-18 12:54:17 UTC  

I was thinking more along the lines of 10s/100s GB

2019-06-18 12:55:06 UTC  

eh that still doesn't sound demanding enough to use a nvme drive with

2019-06-18 12:55:31 UTC  

i work with 2-20s gb of video files and those are on hard drives

2019-06-18 12:56:37 UTC  

True, but then again, it's not like this 'premium' is gonna cost me that much anyway

2019-06-18 12:58:05 UTC  

and you dont have any reason not to have that speed there incase you need it

2019-06-18 12:58:12 UTC  

specialy if the price is same

2019-06-18 12:58:18 UTC  

and you have free slots etc

2019-06-18 12:58:29 UTC  

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

2019-06-18 12:59:08 UTC  

that sounds like a premium of 70 hitlerdollars to me

2019-06-18 12:59:29 UTC  

Sure is, but remember that I have a small dick

2019-06-18 13:00:36 UTC  

For this price tho the SSD is gonna be quite low end, being only TLC and barely reaching SATA 3 top speed

2019-06-18 13:01:53 UTC  

i went to check buildapcsaleseurope for nvme deals and the last post was 5 months ago

2019-06-18 13:02:12 UTC  

aka from what i understand you're fucked

2019-06-18 13:03:01 UTC  

there's always good deals popping up here in the states for storage, especially recently with ssd prices going way down

2019-06-18 13:03:16 UTC  

a month ago su800 was ~$95/1TB, now ive seen it at $90

2019-06-18 13:03:28 UTC  

Well rn there's a truckload of deals on SSDs

2019-06-18 13:03:33 UTC  

And my main SSD is kinda dying rn

2019-06-18 13:06:10 UTC  

(I meant to say in my area of course)

2019-06-18 13:08:29 UTC  

you can look at this, i think it is pretty up-to-date, but you'd have to check prices manually

2019-06-18 13:08:30 UTC  
2019-06-18 13:11:45 UTC  

Thanks

@Mereck ADATA is a reputable brand

2019-06-18 14:00:06 UTC  

that guy on reddit is an SSD expert

2019-06-18 14:00:12 UTC  

absolute knowledge bombs

2019-06-18 14:03:30 UTC  

DRAMless SSDs are so cheap now and they keep dropping in price
