I think the Google Pixel 8 pro would be good. Nice security features and hardware, flat screen (easier to protect and use screen protector). Battery life should be interesting, especially with the LTPO 1-120 hrtz screen. 27w in "fast" charging (but mostly a 15w). Photo and video will be great and capacity to remove unwanted audio sound from your video easily (still to explore). So you can hear your kid laugh and not your neighbour yelling.
@LMGcommunity Can we talk about how the links under the video include a recommendation to "Go buy a [PSU that failed the tests in the video]" (The F-tier Thermaltake Smart 600W unit).
I optimistically assume this was a simple error and that whoever put the links down there wasn't actually told to include ALL the PSUs in the video even if they failed the testing. Especially since the even more awful EVGA N1 400W wasn't included as a link there.
Perhaps you wanna snip that link from your list so the amazon geni.us links only include PSU's that the video agrees with using.
@AlexTheGreatish In the video you guys say that the Thermaltake Smart is in Tier C on the tier list, however the model in tier C and that is highlighted in the video shows the "Thermaltake Smart BM2" which is a completely different power supply than the one you tested. The Thermaltake Smart 80+ unit which you tested is actually located in Tier D on the tier list on the forum which hasn't been updated in 2 years and Tier F on their most recently updated list on their own website. You made the point that they were wrong about ranking the EVGA BR Tier C but you compared it to the Thermaltake Smart which you mistakenly identified as also being ranked Tier C not Tier F. Considering the results in your video I would say that the rankings of the PSU tier list seem reasonable.
This is the Thermaltake Smart BM2 (Tier C according to the tier list). https://www.thermaltake.com.au/smart-bm2-750w-tt-premium-edition.html
Which is definitely not the same as the Thermaltake Smart 80+ which you tested https://www.thermaltake.com/smart-600w.html
The people behind the PSU tier list have been trying to establish themselves as their own independent media outlet publishing news and reviews. Please consider the impact your video might have in discrediting them entirely unfairly because of your mistake. I hope you issue a correction and consider editing that portion out of the video.
Another thing you could add to the test suite is operating temperature testing with the environmental chamber. The EVGA N1 you tested is rated for only 25°C operating temperature (compared to 40°C for the seasonic TX-650). Some PSUs might pass the test suite at room temp (around 20°C) but fail in higher temperatures. You could test those manufacturers claims and it would be another point of data to sort the weak from the strong.
Also testing at both 120V and 240V. Some PSUs are 220-240V input only so you'd need to include it in your test anyway if you wanted to test those power supplies. I imagine that is already planned to be included in the final test suite for the labs site but maybe just wasn't overly relevant to this particular video (or the EVGA N1 and thermaltake Smart died before you could test at 240V lol).
OH! So the review is for the PLUS version. Ok, I'll tell my acquaintance to chuck his current PSU into a trash bin and run to get another. It's the non-plus.
Acer Predator GM3500 1TB could use a placing in the list.

Here's what I could dig up on it for testing since it's pretty new:

(I know it's in Russian, google chrome translated it to English with the built-in translate feature decently for me, so I could look it over)
My take: looks to be roughly on-par with a Mushkin Pilot-E and seems to make a case for being in Tier B.
Ok so first. Find out what 500w unit you have. Because depending on that adding a gpu could either be fine or kill your entire system. Open it up and tell us the model.
Secondly you don't have a budget so just build a new pc. A i5 2400 for gaming today sucks massively since it's a pure 4 core cpu.
You already replied, you could have used less words and simply said 'yes' or 'no'.
EDIT: NVM sorry, i forgot that my question was already answered a few pages before by someone being more helpful. 👍 Looks like its gonna be a Corsair HX1000 for me i guess.
SSD or Solid State Drive is a storage device containing non-volatile flash memory, used in place of hard drive because of its much greater speed. Unlike a hard drive, a solid state drive doesnt have any moving parts. It has two main components - A flash controller and NAND flash memory chips.
More information on solid state drives can be had from here..
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_drive
This guide differentiates SSDs in different tiers based on their DWPD, sustained writes, controllers and NAND types.
Make Ctrl + F your Best Friend...
NOTE - MANY MANUFACTURERS ARE REPLACING THE KEY COMPONENTS OF SSDS (CONTROLLERS & NAND FLASH) WITH INFERIOR COMPONENTS WITHOUT INFORMING THE GENERAL PUBLIC. THIS LIST IS BASED ON THE COMPONENTS (CONTROLLERS & NAND FLASH) THAT THE SSD CAME WITH AT THE TIME OF LAUNCH.
I just made a few updates to this rig so I figured I would post it. I added a thicker rad on the front of the case. I removed the EK 360 SE and replaced it with an EK 360 PE. To ensure this could fit, I got a slimmer res which I like better also. I've also fitted the cable mod cables.
I would put it both in Tier A and Tier B. I mean, yeah, it's PCIe 4.0, it has 176L flash, but overall it's not good as other 176L flash drives such as S70 Blade, FireCuda 530, MP600 Pro XT, etc. It's also worse than some 96L drives...
So this is basically saying no Seasonic/Corsair is good for 3080 without having to worry a shut down midgame ? awesome So what's left under 400? The goofy upside down Thor that I cant use any of its cool aesthetics
Wanted a budget and a simple 1TB TLC M.2 NVMe drive so I can fit it on the back of my ITX motherboard in the DAN A4 SFX case.
Saw that Team Group released their new T-Creator series (Expert - with 12 years warranty and over 12.000 TBW ! and the Classic). I got the Classic for now.
Only a 1TB model so far @ NVMe 1.3 Gen3 x4 interface. It’s rated up to peak read/write speeds of 2100/1700 MB/s with IOPs up to 220K/200K (4K Random Read/Write) and comes with a 5 years warranty and 600 TB written.
The synthetic tests show that it can reach the advertised speeds even at 50% capacity usage but the most important test revolves around the mixed files 67 GB installation folder for The Division 2 titles that has been copied onto the T-Create Classic 1TB. It had a pretty bumpy ride oscillating from 500-900 MB/s as the write average. From this test alone I can't pinpoint how big the SLC buffer/cache is but overall, the sustained performance is good.
Finally, as for the operating temperatures, with an ambient of 20C, here it is under a benchmark run. Mind you it sits in the hottest place possible on this particular case, sandwiched between the motherboard and the wall for the GPU chamber, thus no airflow at all - so the numbers are really good.
Very happy with it so far, it’s a budget friendly option, ticks a lot of sensible boxes, has a single PCB design and get’s the job done. Would hope for bigger capacity options for even higher endurance numbers but I think that’s why they made the Expert series.

P5: fastest of the bunch, but tends to run hot. An 8-channel controller needs 1TB to really stretch its wings.
A2000: good middle-of-the-road drive. It's only 4 channels but it has a good consumer controller and DRAM, plus good TLC. You lose out on sequentials and it's not ideal for heavier workloads.
P1: QLC-based and strictly a budget drive. I would not buy QLC at 500GB.
From my website. I'm the "SSD Guy." The software was made by a Russian, I do have access to OEM software that can also ID your hardware but neither of these programs should really be passed around and used casually. The information about SX8200 Pro variants actually begins with me since it was discussed and tested on my discord, I helped collect the research for Sean at Tom's Hardware, I also provided the tools (more than just this one). If you have specific questions about SSDs and the hardware, hit me up. Linus/LTT often gets this information late and wrong, for example the SX8100 did not switch TLC to QLC (that SKU was always QLC).
