Pros
- Price. 3600 as of 01202223. have a dram buffer famous brand.
Cons
- expected it to be better. But these are just high expectations based on old tests.
Pros
- Having tried, it was possible to find on sale at one of the most attractive prices. Own production (daughter), fame and balanced price / performance indicators in the SATA SSD segment. Aluminium case.
Cons
- Poor cooling system consisting of 2 thermal pads (approximately 1 cm square) with the aim of "so as not to rumble". I had to correct the selection of copper gaskets.
Pros
- great price for a disc with quality stuffing (MX500), reliable manufacturer, quality packaging
Cons
- no cons for this price
Pros
- Profitable price! Proven and reliable manufacturer of SSD drives.
Cons
- Missing
Pros
- New No crashes seen Quality build and packaging Decided quickly High speed recording
Cons
- Cord sold separately
Pros
- Nimble. The software offers several interesting features, Momentum cache to speed up the disk due to free space, Reserve area to increase the service life by reducing the capacity.
Cons
- Included is nothing but the disk itself, a 7mm to 9.5mm adapter frame and paperwork sent to the support site. No SATA cable or screws.
Pros
- Worthy analog of Samsung 860 EVO with a difference only in the resource of use Support even for older platforms unlike Samsung 860 EVO
Cons
- For many months of use, not even the slightest
Pros
- DO NOT TAKE! 5 years warranty. in the photos green chart reading speed brown graph write speed the photo shows the results of three different discs. tested on various devices. The discs were returned under warranty.
Cons
- the continuous write speed drops to 200 megabytes per second. significant overheating of the controller (a point is felt through the case on the underside close to the connectors.) OVERHEATING THE CONTROLLER usually leads to sudden and irreversible death of the ssd
Pros
- Excellent speed, easy installation, case looks very reliable
Cons
- Quite slow and clumsy Crucial Storage Executive software
Pros
- 1) Flash memory - Intel/Micron. 64 layers TLC. According to the ~ year of operation, it should withstand 1500 reprogramming cycles, which should give ~ 768TB of clean writing on a half-gig model (this is not an actual record - the actual one is considered corrected through WA -write amplification) 2) Using it as a system browser in Windows (Win7 64bit) with a non-pageable FF browser and few bookmarks in it + more or less normal work gives in my case WA ~ 2.4 and ~ 20-25GB / day. In total, the flash will withstand ~ 320TB of records in this mode. (number of reprogramming cycles*disk capacity)/WA. This is before abrasion 'to zero'. 3) The manufacturer's warranty (!) on disk recording volume gives ~1/2 from wear to zero. So in my (and most likely your case) it's ~17 years of work. That is, the flash is good. If your record volume is higher, consider it an approximation and it will be 95% correct. 60 GB of recording per day is a little more than 7 years (7 years 4 months). These figures are precisely the guaranteed recording volumes. This is 1 year of guaranteed data safety in the off state. To total abrasion if you figure it out - multiply by 2. But 'full abrasion of the flush' is only a few weeks of storage. Just a note. 4) There is protection against unexpected power off, which is VERY good. This is a capacitor bank that allows you to correctly reset the translator. Able to save the SSD from turning into a brick. And this occurs 5) SSD buffer that places the translator in the buffer and reduces WA. It also gives an increase in performance since it is not necessary to move parts of the translator from the flash to the RAM stub / back (as in Phison S11, for example - which has a 32 MB stub) 6) Crucial supports its creation with firmware ates 7) The drop in write speed BEHIND the SLC cache is very small. In fact, the drive is ALWAYS capable of receiving data at speeds higher than Raid-0 gives on two modern HDDs. Therefore, its performance for the home is ENOUGH (without any clarifications)! For demanding users
Cons
- 1) Proc SMI2258 is heated. Reading moderately. On record, it's not critical. But noticeable! It's good that only a percent. 2) There was a glitch in old firmware with a noticeable lag after TRIM'ing a large amount of data, so you need to ate the firmware. Formally, this is a minus 3) In environments without TRIM - data clearing does not work. Controversial: 1) I have not yet seen the work of the wear leveling system. Despite the fact that one drive has reached wear of 7% (93% of life left). At the very beginning of operation, images of virtual machines were copied back and forth on this drive for almost a month. There, up to 60-70% of the volume of the drive in copying per day was selected. So he was notably overspent in the first month. Now it works as a system in 'sparing' mode.
