Solve : Cheep SSD suggestions? |
|
Answer» looking for a cheep and reliable SSD to use in my HP 210-1099se netbook I won't be saving anything to the computer, as I have other COMPUTERS for that. Internet and email on the go is all it will ever do. You have made a good choice. yes I am... I was first looking at a Samsung 840 EVO but it was sold out at $44.99... I think the amount of storage may be too high for just the operating SYSTEM and Google CHROME. You think EVEN with its high compacity it will it be fine for it's application? Quote from: camerongray on May 29, 2015, 10:05:06 AM That is a good drive, Crucial also do some very good value SSDs. you got a reccomendation for a Crucial SSD?Samsung 850 Pro vs 850 evo.... difference?The Pro is marketed as a higher quality, higher end device but in real world usage it isn't really worth the premium. The 850 Evo is still a great drive.Just to address your query about the drive being overkill - in a way, yes, because your netbook won't benefit from the full performance of the drive. That's not to say it's a bad idea at all though, and just because you can't for example get 550MB/sec read speeds from it in that PC doesn't mean it will be slow - it'll make a huge difference to the "snappiness" of the netbook in everyday usage. Buying a slower or older drive won't be much cheaper if at all, and you'd possibly end up with something that isn't as reliable or high quality. Even a smaller drive won't necessarily be much cheaper, 120GB is about the minimum sweet spot for price per GB these days due to economies of scale making 64GB drives not cost effective. The 850 Evo or Pro would be great as suggested, the Pro as camerongray says is marketed as a higher end drive but you would be hard pushed to notice a difference in almost any real-world usage. Pretty much any Crucial drive currently on the market would be a decent alternative too - the BX100 is their "value" series, while the MX100 was their mainstream drive which the MX200 has replaced, however all three are available to buy and are equally good choices for your usage.ok then I think I will go with the Samsung 850 EVO SSD for both my netbooks (current one and new one) Thank you! where is the best place to order the SSD from for the lowest price?Just got 2 Samsung 850 EVO SSD's and will be upgrading soon! thanks for all the help!Samsung 850 Pro vs 850 evo. One costs $10 more than the other. He's likely already figured that out... Quote from: patio on May 31, 2015, 05:33:01 PM He's likely already figured that out...That is what is efferent. No indication of quality or reliability or speed differences. The lower cost thing is made on 19nm technology. The huger is 40nm. |
