  • ^ Well, unless maraming client na sabay-sabay ang access sa NAS or VM or docker or database heavy ang use-case ng NAS, very limited din ang benefits ng NVMe SSD caching.
  • May problema po ba yong nasa kanan?


    Baka variation lang sa quality ng SSD. Pero wag mo na problemahin kasi hindi mo naman mararamdaman yung difference in benchmark speed sa real-world usage.

    Might be a good idea to spend more on WD Red NVMe or Seagate Ironwolf NVMe SSDs which have higher NAND endurance since NAS caches tend to be also write heavy specially in 24/7 environments.


    Gusto ko man Mrbungle kaso madugo pa sila reds at ironwolf. Plano ko sana yung adata xpg sx6000 256gb muna..


    Or, based sa results ng The SSD Endurance Experiment, baka hindi man kailangan mag-invest in higher endurance SSDs.

    The SSD Endurance Experiment represents the longest test TR has ever conducted. It’s been a lot of work, but the results have also been gratifying. Over the past 18 months, we’ve watched modern SSDs easily write far more data than most consumers will ever need. Errors didn’t strike the Samsung 840 Series until after 300TB of writes, and it took over 700TB to induce the first failures. The fact that the 840 Pro exceeded 2.4PB is nothing short of amazing, even if that achievement is also kind of academic.


    Baka ma-obsolete ang SSD bago siya bumigay sa excess writes.

    On the other hand, it would be ideal to use WD Red or Ironwolf HDDs for your NAS kasi designed sila specifically for NAS workloads compared sa consumer-line drives ng WD or Seagate (WD Blue and Seagate Barracuda respectively). May 3 akong 8 Tb WD Reds (wala sa NAS pero nasa PC) and halos 1 year old pa lang sila pero no problems so far.


  • @enissus

    Hello I need help as to choosing the right SSDs for my upgrade, using my PC for gaming and editing. Currently I have the ADATA SX8200 Pro 256gb on the M.2_1 of the MSI B450 Mortar Max (PCIe 3). I have another M.2 slot, but it runs at PCIe 2. I'm planning to buy:

    1TB M.2 NVME SSD for the media files of projects (to be plugged into the PCIe 3 M.2_1 slot) and
    500GB SATA for the OS, Software, and Games.

    Leaving the 256gb SSD I have right now as the scratch disk and cache (to be transferred it to the PCIe 2 slot). Will my current 256gb SSD be bottlenecked? Am I better off getting a 1TB SATA SSD for project's media files instead?


    may limitation yung pcie lanes from cpu at mobo chipset. kahit marami kang m.2 slot, kung di naman properly configured sa bios di mo magagamit ng full speed. sabi mo nga pcie 2 speed lang yung isa. Gawin mo is set mo yung 1st gpu slot or pciex16 mo from x16 speed to x8 speed. para may matira kang pcie lanes. but di ako sure kung ma-aallocate mo yun sa m.2 or dun sa 2nd pciex16 slot siya mapupunta. (not yet tested personally LGA1155 tong mobo ko eh walang m.2 haha but in theory mukhang tama naman.)

    parehong PNY CS900 - capacity lang nag-iba.

    i tried 3 different PCs, and different sata cables, same result.


    walang problem dyan. check mo spec sheet mismo nung ssd. For example Adata XPG SX8200, different ang read/write speed niya sa 256gb at 512gb. Same with Samsung 970 Evo plus.

    ang specsheet nya is eto (240gb vs 500gb)
    Max Sequential Read Speed - 535 MB/s vs 550 MB/s
    Max Sequential Write Speed - 500 MB/s vs 500 MB/s
    <click here for link>
    <click here for link>

    tas yong mga benchmarks and reviews, hindi bumababa ng 400MB/s.

    kahit yong isang rating dun sa Shopee for the same item na may screenshot, 460/430 (R/W)
    eto yun screenshot ng rating niya:



    then mabagal sya magboot. mabilis lang konti sa baracuda ko na HDD. nakakatatlong ikot yong spinner bago mag desktop, while yong the other two SATA SSDs (Toshiba 240gb and PNY 500gb) hindi ko na nakikita yong spinner na yun - same machine. pnag tyagaan ko talaga i-clone para ma-compare. all were trimmed.

  • Questions mga sir.

    Umiinit ba ang nvme Adata sx8200 pro 1 tb? Anong temps nyo as a boot drive? and as a steam game dump drive? Does temp matter in nvme?
  • ^40 to 45 degs,
  • quick question po bakit ang mamahal ng ssd ni samsung kumpara kay crucial or teamelite?
  • ^Reliabily siguro??? My Samsung 840 Pro since 2013 is still working great.. everyday pc open 12hrs per day...
  • ^40 to 45 degs,

    ambient?
  • ^room temp sa condo no aircon, no idea with room temp hehe pero hindi naman mainit katulad nung summer
  • Umiinit ba ang nvme Adata sx8200 pro 1 tb? Anong temps nyo as a boot drive? and as a steam game dump drive? Does temp matter in nvme?


    Posted yung benchmarks and temps ng Adata XPG SX8200 Pro 1 Tb some time ago. Pag benchmarking umaabot ng 69-70 C. Pag idle or short read/writes, 42 C pero with active cooling using 2 x 60 mm fans na nakatutok directly sa SSD.
  • I see. If you're transferring a big file siguro 40gb, anong temps?
  • ^Tried it with a single 31 Gb file, maximum temp of 56 C with the fans turned off.
  • Nice thanks sir for the info. My m.2 slot is sandwiched by cpu, graphics card, and RAM. I think mabubugahan siya ng cpu fan ko. I'll think about its own fans later.

    I bought one, haven't installed it yet. I'm still thinking if gagawin ko itong boot drive or not. My current 240 Gb SSD boot drive is serving me well. Tinatamad ako mag re-install ng stuff haha

    Also there is a heatsink in the box. Should I install it?
  • binilhan ko na lang ng segotep heatsink yung nvme, argb na din , mas mataas lang ng onti sa ssd 2.5
  • May nakita ako yung heatsink na may dalawang fan sa ibabaw. Baka yun bilihin ko
  • Hi mga paps! Currently rocking a crucial ssd. I recently upgraded coz nasira mobo ko and meron NVME. After some research mga x10 daw yung speed ng nvme vs ssd's. Gano nyo naramdaman yun? Or ramdam na ramdam talaga vs SSD's?
  • ^1 or 2 seconds loading time sa games hehe
  • I bought one, haven't installed it yet. I'm still thinking if gagawin ko itong boot drive or not. My current 240 Gb SSD boot drive is serving me well. Tinatamad ako mag re-install ng stuff haha


    Migrate mo na lang everything kesa reinstall ang Windows and lahat ng programs.

    Also there is a heatsink in the box. Should I install it?


    Oo, unless gagamit ka ng third-party heatsink.

  • Any advice which of the following SSDs would be the best to buy? Looking for a budget friendly replacement lang for my rig with an aging HDD. Hindi nagkakalayo prices nila and all of them are almost identical in their specs:

    Kingston KC600 SSD 512GB with 3D TLC NAND - 3,900
    Western Digital WD Blue 500GB 3D NAND - 3,800
    Adata SU800 512GB Sata 3D Nand - 3,850
  • @Peorth
    Can you point me to a good guide in cloning my ssd to nvme?
  • Post deleted #12319772
  • Salamat! Nice
  • any feedback on this Mushkin Enhanced Pilot-E M.2 2280 2TB PCIe Gen3 x4 NVMe 1.3 3D TLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MKNSSDPE2TB-D8
  • @CrkDice

    Oks! onti lang pala. Ok na muna siguro ako. hahahah
  • 500GB WD Black NVMe SSD now $63 in Amazon.
  • nice. kasama na ba shipping to ph yan boss?
  • ^ nope.
  • Hello po.. I bought Dell Inspirion 5584 i7 last Monday.. (I admit hindi ako expert sa laptop) 128GB SSD + 1tb hdd.
    Yung C: ko 55gb na lang yung free ok lang ba installan ng photoshop cc 2020 yung laptop ko? hnd ba sya mag hang? or dapat ko upgrade agad ssd ko?
    Sabi kasi ng friend ko pag nag upgrade ng ssd magging new windows10 nnmn daw ako,, baka daw need ko ulit magbayad for new windows10.. balak ko sana mag upgrade ssd sa dell store mismo.. kasi mabilis mapuno 128GB... hingi lang po advise salamat po..
