I'll never buy another ssd that isn't new. A refurbed drive destroyed my machine once and I'll never let that happen again.

A M500 is not old a M4 would be considered old.

 

I mean its performance is rather meh (not bad but sub par compared to the bx100/mx200/850evo). I did grab one but only because it was about almost 2x GB/USD of an 850 Evo.

The fact that I run both in my system (m4 and m500) makes me sad :( I need to upgrade

If they are still working keep them. The only thing youd like to jump up to would be like a Samsung SM951.

They are VERY old, the m4 is from 2011, used by more than 4 PC's and overheats. The M500 is from 2013 (i think) and was in my dad's work laptop before this, so it took quite a beating from that, and now it's my primary boot drive... pretty sure that 13TB of writes to the SSD isn't a sign of youth :(

And those speeds...:/

But at least the SSD does the job.

And you probably need more storage.

You clearly have no clue of how an SSD benefits a PC.

 

Also 13TB of writes is nothing as these drives can easily sustain 1PB of total host writes without any issue (just look at xtremesystems.org ssd endurance test or techreports ssd endurance experiment).

 

I also have this exact same drive on my system for about 1.5years and it has 71TB total host write and it has absolutely no issues.

Also it doesn't matter if an SSD is SATA 2 3Gb/s as the biggest performance benefit from it is the access time (less than 1ms vs 15ms+ on hdd) and significantly faster read/write for small files (4k).

 

I have an old 160GB Intel 320 which is a SATA 2 3Gb/s and the load times of windows and games when compared to my other SSD's (m500, mx100, neutron gtx,  samsung 830) is virtually identical.

Yeah, we're all just a bunch of idiots experiencing nothing more than the placebo effect.

why 9? Most raid controllers without a port multiplier top out at 8. I guess someone could have pulled a linus. :Phttps://goo.gl/VPz25M

Showed the boss, he said to order one 960 and one 480 so the rest of the computers in the editing office can boot/launch apps more quickly. Not shabbs.

If what I'm posting has already been posted, I'm sorry.

Or you can just not use them as OS drives. That would help a lot.

It wasn't an OS drive. I plugged it in to format it and it wouldn't detect. It deleted my mbr and corrupt two partitions on two other drives. Tried it in my laptop and the drive was just dead. Couldn't read it at all.
