SSD comaprison

[Simon771]

So this website is down: http://ssd.userbenchmark.com/

I'm usually looking there for comparison, but that website is not working since morning. I would just like to know which SSD would be better:

 

SSDNOW V300 480G 2.5 KINGSTON

ADATA SP550 480GB

 

Both cost exactly the same (130€), so I will take the one that's better. 

Any ideas?

Get the SP550, it is a very good value SSD, the V300 is not very good.

[zMeul]

the SP550 has cell drift problems, data on it will become slower to read with passing time

I know, I had 3 of them with the same exact problem - finally, bit the bullet and got a Samsung 850 EVO

Well it does also have 1 year more warranty.

But I can't find any infos for that SP550, how much data it can be writtn on.

Kingston one can handle 224TB write data. For my use it might be a bit low.

 

Any idea how much write data can ADATA handle?

How much time did it take before you got that problem?

Like after few months of use, or after few years?

 

Did you RMA it or anything? Does warranty cover that?

the fastest one happened after 1st week in use

 

RMA people don't know what they're doing or selling

I had to RMA it 3 times and threaten them with consumer protection laws to get me a refund

That doesn't seem right.

After 1 week of use, SSD already slow down?

 

What we we talking here? from 450mb/s write to 250?

How did you notice that it's slowing down?

from new to 3w in:

note: had it on SATA2

that ^ was the 2nd one, here ┐ is the 1st one:

^ just 2w in

If you're concerned about 224tb advertised total data written then perhaps it's not something you should use an ssd for.  The similarly sized Samsung 850 Evo is only warrantied for 150TB / 5 years.

Well speed seems kinda okay, but there are few spikes.

I guess that was the problem?

those dips went from not existent brand new to accelerate in degradation after few weeks

in months you'd be expecting scenarios like this:

Well in this case I might just buy kingston one.

Unless someone else come here and say exactly same thing for that ssd also  

 

But well, even if that happends, there is still warranty and I can always ask for RMA or something

KINGSTON ssd disk UV400 480GB (SUV400S37/480G)

KINGSTON ssd disk HyperX FURY 480GB

I have no idea on those, sorry

@zMeul

 

So after you provided your photos, I got interested in my SSD.

Using Samsung EVO 850 250GB for 1 year now. 8TB data writte only, since it was used for windows mostly.

 

And that's what I get with same program like you:

 

So there are also spikes with samsung evo 850 ... I didn't monitor it before, so I'm not sure since when it's acting like that.

But it still perform well ... at least I don't have any problems with it so far

it would've been interesting to see if those dips were there before

keep an eye on it, see if they go lower

 

from what other people told me, those pits are most likely caused by random writes - it's possible to smooth them out with a defrag

but in my case with the SP550, I didn't made random writes to it, the only thing sitting on the SSD were games, no OS!!
