Makes sense now according to what UsandThem said that drive prices skyrocket so much as capacity goes up, as they're exponentially better (not just more said it is clear to me now a low capacity (250GB) MLC is the way to go and just as I had been thinking, the Kingston KC1000 should be the undebatable king. Almost same price, way smaller, no cables, etc (although MUCH hotter, bear in mind). For the rest of it, the NVMe drive is simply better and faster in almost all regards. Still, prices as they are today, I see almost absolutely no reason not to go with an M2 NVMe over a SATA drive, as the worst that can happen (referencing the 960EVO) is that, under some tasks, the NVMe drive performs 'as bad' as a SATA. I do believe it would actually be nice to work out a 'SSD consensus thread' like long ago they worked out a PSU one in the Overclockers forum that very much was the seed of the reason nowadays almost everyone finally knows what a good psu is, what OEMs are the best and so on.Ĭlick to problem there however will be price. What is your opinion on MLC vs 3D TLC? As far as I know the 960 EVO uses the latter and it is complete garbage, as it might fire off 3 or 4 GB of very decent speed through the caché, but after it's gone the speeds drop dramatically, thing that doesn't (right?) happen on MLC, not to mention thrice the reliability on the MLC.Īm I more or less correct? That's it, simply wanted to hear you both out there. Provided the info online in the specifics of this matter is blurry at the very least (add to the mixer the amount of bribing websites receive and how badly they perform their tests and we've got true crap as a result), I would like to ask you which one of these two NVMe SSD's, (which I reckon are the best out there price/performance) do you consider best and what opinion do you have on both, specially the Kingston, as it is a (to me) surprisingly cheap one being MLC and having massive durability (300/550/800TBW) which I much rather prefer over -even better- speeds. Click to expand.Elixer / UsandThem sorry to (kind of) interrupt in here but I've been following some of your posts these days and I do think you both have a solid idea as far as SSDs are concerned.
