Hey guys

 

I want to upgrade my laptop with an ssd (thinking of 840 evo 250gb) but i was wondering if there are any improvements coming soon to ssd-realm.

I dont NEED to upgrade immediately, just wondering whether or not the wait will be worthwhile?

Probably price drops and capacity increase. I would say buy it now, it is normal with technology get old quickly.

go for it... SSD's are super fast and reliable these days.. there wont change THAT much in the future (except ultra speed improvements, which you dont benefit from with SATA 3 6Gb/s)

No not until Sata 4 is released which nobody knows and PCI-E/M.2 SSDs are just catching on so I'd give it 2 years until SSDs start to progress.

Drives based on the new sand force controllers should be pretty impressive, particularly PCIe versions. More info here http://www.anandtech.com/show/7520/lsi-announces-sandforce-sf3700-sata-and-pcie-in-one-silicon

Yeah anything other than 240gb is expensive. But personally, I think if you're using more than 240gb on your OS + Drivers + 1 or 2 games, you're doing something wrong. I've personally got my OS, the drivers and necessary programs (Steam, firefox, thunderbird and Origin) and BF4 on my ssd, then i change my downloads location to my 1.5tb hdd which is also where i store my other steam/origin games.

 

All in all, i still have 160gb left on my ssd. By the time BF4 gets all it's dlc released (presuming i buy premium, which i might not if DICE don't fix there game), there will be about 130gb left.

My Build

 

GPU: MSI GTX 1080 ARMOUR | CPU: i7 9700k | Ram: 16gb 3200mhz |  Motherboard: ASUS Maximus XI Gene | Storage: 2x 1TB NVME 1x 500GB NVME 1x 120GB NVME | Case: Corsair 570X

Personally im buying one to store windows, autocad civil3D, some other minor programs (think office-ish programs which take forever to boot up it seems) and like one or two games at a time. 240 gigs should be enough, i store random files on the harddrive that'll still be in there
