SSD

What's the difference between these two? I'm wanting to get an SSD for my PC so my OS can run at a higher speed. The card is much cheaper though, so what's the difference?

One is a card and the other is not.

speed

MX300 series will be a little bit faster and as you can see, it has slightly storage capacity.

Crucial has Power loss Protection. Kingston does not so say goodbye to your data in case of a power outage and you aren't on a UPS.

Both work with SATA III so speed should be the same, you can save space and cabling with the M.2 drive but that may not be worth the extra $10 for you

Oh shi- didn't noticed the storage capacity difference, the M.2 should be a better choice then.

about 10 bucks and an inch mate

grab a Toshiba OCZ RD400 instead

if u wanna go fast

One is decent and the other is the shittiest SSD in the market since SV300.

Get a 850 EVO.

one on the left is a scam meme format

One's for fancy ass tryhards and one's for normal people.

>is the shittiest SSD in the market.

I got a uv400 and it's fine.

> since SV300

I bought a laptop that came with one, and it was fine, too.

I don't get what's your problem.

Also m.2 is a scam format for retards that think it's going to be a nvme ssd,

about 35 gb

Why is it a scam? Isn't it more convenient to use the M.2 slot instead?

M.2 is cuter.

The left one will heat up and is slower.

my 950 evo is a lot faster than my 850 evo tho?

>newer ssd is faster than old ssd

is this b8

one is good the other is kingston

Get this one, the other ones are straight up crap.

One is a NVMe SSD and the other is a SATA SSD.

Huge difference.

>How do i buy a good SSD
If it doesn't use 3D NAND its shit.
If its Kingston or PNY avoid it.

Nah, m8, both are sata. m.2 is just a form factor.

950 EVO is not a SATA SSD user, look it up.

new ssd is faster than older ssd

mmmmm

really activates those almonds

Kek

go with the Kingston

Crucial ftw

>scam format

I only have two HDD slots in my case, so it works well to have an M.2 as a boot drive and keep all my files on HDD/SSDs in cages.

on ITX boards a lot of the M.2 slots are on the back, so you have minimal clutter and more room for storage.

how fucked am I

crucial and toshiba have had the best per dollar offerings for the last three years but normies swarm all over kingston and samsung without investing a second of research

Want more space. I have an ncase m1 so I can't really fit more 2.5 drives. Already have a 240 and 960 gb ssd. I have a $300 dell gift card. Should I Fall for the meme and get nvme?

RD400 is a better buy

Is it? Costs more than the Evo and not available at Dell so can't use my $300 gift card.

No cables/wires and something else I forgot

does your m2 even support nvme?

>if u wanna go fast
Did someone say fast?

Yup MLC NAND is better for write endurance speed and reliability, see if you can grab the XG3 with the card (it's the same chip)

also this

I hear Samsung and ryzen do well together. So I take that into consideration

That is for DRAM my nigga, don't count out Micron there either.

I just took some budget dual rank Micron ECC up to 3200Mhz from 2133 stock and it working nicely with my Ryzen R5, cost was CHEAPER than speedwise comparable consumer sticks which don't even have an extra parity chip (1024mb) on each side.

I don't speak nerd...

Yes it does.

Dell has pretty shit options for nvme drives. Apart from the 960 pro/evo, there are Dell branded and WD Black drives but those are only 512 gb. The gc expires in 2 months so maybe their options will grow by then.

>ironically using Windows 10 education
>4gb gtx 1080
>59hz

inb4 passthrough using a 6700k kek

*unironically

Kingston is garbage write speeds (350MB/s).

Not sure about the Crucial one, might also be degenerate speed idk

I'd just take the 960 pro. Let's be real, if the system slows down a little at some point, you'll be sad if you took the cheaper one.

Care to explain why, luddite?

hz

Maybe you shouldn't talk if you're that retarded

>Doesn't know speccy reports wrong memory size on some 1080s

Again: NVMe is not sata
