Three different ssds, three different price, three different performances.

[StrawberryShortCakes]

Lexar NS100 1tb - $159.00 (2.5 inch)/ m.2 + $11

Crucial MX500 1tb - $185.00 (2.5 inch /m.2)

Samsung 860 Evo 1tb - $248.00 (2.5 inch /m.2)

I watched reviews on all 3 ssds never used either. 

From what I saw : 

Lexar faster then Crucial but slower then Samsung in reads. 

Lexar beats both in writes. 

Questions :

Is Lexar a known company? 

Anyone got experience with this model of ssd (Lexar NS100)? 

Which is more important reads or writes?

do not trust manufacturer benchmarks on ssds because they usually use software that stresses just the cache on the ssd,look up the flash types on each ssd.

the order of speed goes like this: slc(single level cell and the fastest but lower capacity),mlc(slower),tlc(even slower),qlc(hard drive level of slowness)

i dont wanna scare you because most competent ssd manufactureers have dram caches and specially built algorithms to manage that cache so the slower speeds would only be felt in large file transfers like copying game folders

 

hope this helps!
