Budget SSD

[Akira Shimazu]

so i decided instead of Buying PC im going to upgrade my Laptop

i7 3610QM

16GB DDR3

GT650M

and HDD

yes the HDD are the problem is slow like super slow (7years). any suggestion on budget SSD for 1080P adobe Effect? my budget is max 40$ like super max or In IDR 600K. this is the website im using for listing price. https://enterkomputer.com/category/101/Solid-State-Drive/

 

SSD not m.2 cuz it has no m.2 ports

[Tan3l6]

ADATA SX8200PRO 256GB 

 

nevermind it costs more than the budget set*.

Though in mind would be worth it.

How much space would you prefer to be on the SSD?

 

[Dougarooo]

I recommend this: https://enterkomputer.com/detail/139497/Sandisk-SSD-Plus-120GB-SDSSDA-120G

from the website you linked if that's necessary

 

If you want more then: https://enterkomputer.com/detail/139498/Sandisk-SSD-Plus-240GB-SDSSDA-240G

 

These will install windows and a few games depending on the games and which SSD you pick

[Princess Luna]

Going by the specs of the laptop I'd consider it not to have any M.2 port so you're limited to 2,5 inch SSDs.

 

Looking how the SSD are priced on the website you want to buy from and your options as a whole I suppose the best pick is this one:

https://enterkomputer.com/detail/158280/Crucial-BX500-240GB-CT240BX500SSD1

 

Yeah yeah no DRAM/SLC cache, whatever doesn't matter SSD performs great and much better than any HDD either ways, while giving more reliability and all... it's worth for an old device like yours and it's cheaper than your budget even.

 

I personally do fine with 240GB for my device but that's relying on the Internet a bunch... not sure how it'll cooperate with your Adobe workload though, if you need more space then the 480GB is slightly above your set budget.

 

In fact getting anything above 240GB with your budget seems not to be doable even using the dirty shittiest SSD.

SSD Plus G26 from SanDisk is garbage in comparison to the Crucial BX500 and they are similarly priced.

 

To make it simple refer to this compact 2,5 inch tier list:

256. 120gb would be little low

i will look at it. and its there any possible way to acces my HDD and SDD at same time since its only has 1 ports?

Why isn't the Samsung 860 QVO on here? It's only $89 on amazon rn.

 

also I found this adata m.2 one for ~$39. https://enterkomputer.com/detail/159016/ADATA-SX6000-Lite-256GB-M2-NVME-R-1800MBS-W-1200MBS

I'm sorry I did not understand your question.

 

If you're asking why is there such gap between the two SSD it simply falls to their performance: BX500 scores higher on benchmarks consistently and most importantly the reliability.

 

BX500 follows a strict production standard while the SSD Plus can vary a lot from different plants, it is both assembled in Malaysia and China meaning you never really know what you get, some are better than others it's a lottery but either ways it uses cheaper components and also has issues with Firmware.

Look harder because it is.

I meant what are your sources that this image is from. How did someone determine one SSD is better than the other.

[Akira Shimazu]

@Princess Luna so i assume the BX500 is way faster then Adata SU650?

Yeah Adata SX8200Pro is M.2

So no luck.

They are the same thing for the most part, if you're between the two go with the cheaper I guess?

I think you can check it here

This guy doesn't even say why he ranked the SSDs this way. He legit just says " are personal recommendations (based on common US pricing)". He doesn't provide any data as to why each SSD got the rank it did. I can't trust this image if you can't tell me why

I am not here to advise you but the rather OP, I have done a lengthy research on the matter and the BX500 is superior to the SSD Plus for all the reasons stated above on the other reply, that list is just in line to all I've found from reading articles and watching reliable youtube content on the subject.

 

You can from here:

 

A) Go do your own research on the matter and reach the same conclusion.

 

B) Stick to your suggestion for the SSD Plus which was countered and keep qq'ing about lack of chewed up source material to keep justifying yourself instead of advising on a better SSD.

You can clone the driver but if your HDD holds more than the SSD capacity then obviously the cloning wouldn't work.

Just want you to supply actual resources to the OP if you're going to protest that you've got the better SSD. I was curious as to why it was better so I can know myself as well. Was asking for genuine help so I can know what SSDs are better to recommend in the future and instead you go and do that.

 

No sense showing an image with nothing to back it up.

Which is outdated as hell, you will not find 90% models listed there and there are better alternatives both in price and performance for those you will.

It's not necessarily, it just focus on 2,5inch units, we all know that with the newer M.2 based SSD there's more to choose but it's not applicable to OP situation.

 

I just used it as a quick way to give OP the idea what to look at, if you would like to dive far deeper and list lost reference sources for him to buy a budget 2,5inch SSD be my guest.

 

Complain and bash about it without offering OP nothing else but a generic "there's so much better" without specifics you're not doing any better here than all those that give us a hard time on the PSU Tier List.

It's just that this "tier list" are really of no use if it's outdated.

That site they've provided are really a catastrophe but okay, these seem to be the best options :

Crucial BX500 : https://enterkomputer.com/detail/158280/Crucial-BX500-240GB-CT240BX500SSD1

Patriot Burst : https://enterkomputer.com/detail/154159/Patriot-Burst-SATA3-240GB

Sure, Crucial MX500 and Samsung 860 Evo would be better choice but they're out of budget.
