I've tried a lot of ssds, muy favorite brand by far is a data.

...

i usually like to make threads with no context and leave it open to interpretation but they won't let me do that anymore. so. forget it.

i made a thread before asking when everyone thought that 4TB ssd's would be available to normal users or non-corporate non-super-rich users.

here's the extended post.

i made a thread before asking when everyone thought that 4TB ssd's would be available to normal users or non-corporate non-super-rich users. here they are.

there's actually a 8TB m.2 ssd and a 16TB sas ssd; but; again; it's corporate; they're prohibitively expensive etc.. not only have i not realy seen them in a lot of posted specs; but i also haven't even actually come across anyone that posted specs with a 4TB ssd before; only in some tech posts and in and some videos. --

so. the good news is that 4TB ssd's finaly exist in the "mainstream" or normal user market. the bad news is that they are still basically prohibitively expensive. breaking the $1000 barrier that gives me zimbabwe flashbacks; because -- as you like to point out -- i post like i'm from a 3rd world country; probably from hanging out with esl users too much; and having to post clearly in a way that they understand. -- anyway. --

as a "disclaimer" -- because this is needed now apparently -- i do not work for samsung and i am not getting paid for it; they are simply apparently the standard pushing the market forward. and i wanted to talk about this because no 1 else is talking about this or cares and i want to talk about this and care. it is possible to talk about something besides google, youtube, apple, facebook monopolies and not be shilling andor advertising. -- also note i don't have a "referral url" code in any of my url's. --

samsung has went from a no-name corporation to the 1 with the highest benchmark scores. samsung has wasted no time over-pricing their ssd's because of this. the samsung pro ssd's are about 2x the price of non-samsung ssd's of the same capacity; while the samsung evo ssd's are about 25~50%+ more.

so what i'm actually most excited about and most looking forward to is the non-samsung 4TB ssd's. namely the ones from western digital (formerly sandisk), crucial, micron, mushkin, etc, etc.. their new 2TB ssd's at lowest comes in at about $400. that's about $200 per TB. the samsung pro 2TB ssd is about $1000. that's about $500 per TB. the samsung pro 4TB is about $2000. again; about $500 per TB. meaning that we can probably see at least $1000 or even $800 or lower ssd's as soon as someone that is not-samsung makes them to beat samsung. it's especially easy with sata because samsung has not reached the limits of m.2 ssd's but is far ahead of everyone else in terms of benchmarks; besides intel with their new crazy-ass nvme pcie optane ssd; which is following intel's trend of being more and more confusing; but seems to be in a different and larger class as an nvme pcie ssd as opposed to the smaller m.2 anyway.

so. "too long; didn't read".

the news is that samsung released more new 4TB sata ssd's to the mainstream market for $1000~$1500~$2000.

the bigger and more exciting news is that if and when and as soon as not-samsung makes a 4TB ssd to compete with samsung then it will probably be $1000~$750~$500 or less.

also it'd be extremely nice if the price went from $200 per TB to $100 per TB. $400 4TB ssd's. even $1600 16TB ssd's. still sounds good to me. relatively. the future is now right. anyway.

also. will i buy it? i'd say it's about 50/50.

when the samsung 830 512GB came out it was $600. it then eventually went down to $500. it's now at $400 and going down to $300. i thought i could somehow manage to buy multiples as backups at the time.

now samsung 860 4TB came out and it is $1900 apparently. i don't know how much it's gonna go down. but i do know that there's no way i can afford more than 1 for backups etc.. so backups of that capacity will have to wait for the price to go down dramatically and quickly, have not-samsung make a 4TB ssd that has a low price dramatically and quickly, or use slow-ass 4TB hdd's for backups; which is the most likely scenario; and i'd use hdd's as an additional backup to ssd's anyway.

with hdd's being less physical-endurance but ssd's being less time-endurance. you can throw an ssd thru a basketball hoop and have it hit concrete and survive. but you can supposedly use an hdd to archive stuff for alike over 20 years. where i heard ssd's can't really archive and can even break down quickly if you don't plug them in routinely to basically maintain them. since hdd's work by writing to a disk platter; which can be there indefinitely. and ssd's work by holding a charge for each piece of data stored; which can run out. also. hdd's are mechanical; so they have less physical-endurance. ssd's are solid-state; so they have more physical endurance; tho they're not invincible.

so basically at least try to have basic maintenance of all of your storage-devices by at least having them plugged in once in a while. i don't know when exactly. so i'll just make something up. once every 10 years for 1 second probably isn't enough. so. at least once a year for 1 minute. better to have it be once a month for 1 hour. even better once a week for 1 day. better than that just leave it in all the time. or just plug it in when you can and take it out sometimes when you need to. just maintain it every so often as you see fit. do what you can. that's what i do.

you're probably asking why i'm so interested and keen on 4TB ssd's. --

2TB is a long-time barrier for ssd's and an actual barrier for BIOS and MBR; aside from doing some magic hacks or something. so to use 4TB then you generally have a need to use UEFI and GPT. --

i sort of just want to have a need to do use UEFI and GPT; to pass that barrier; to be more upgradable in the future. --

in addition. supposedly a lot of servers use uefi and gpt; along with seemingly everything being united under this standard now. and i like the idea of mainstream user computers and "enterprise" server computers being closer together and more interchangeable and basically closer to the same monolithic unified thing. to allow for better scaling, and upgrading, and stuff. it's cool.

also. a lot have brought up that UEFI and GPT are bad and less secure or something. but i'll just pioneer it and use it anyway and try to safeguard and do what i can with it as i go along. -- i'm sure that if users care about it then they will let me know; and maybe even give me advice on how to make it better at some point; if needed.

oh. also. i currently have over 800GB used on my ssd. i like the idea of the ssd having extra space so it can manage and move data in case of bad sectors. my ssd says 2TB; but in reality it's 1.86TB. so 4TB will likely be 3.xTB. so i could get to 1TB or even 2TB and still have quite a lot of room to spare for more data and re-arranging. if i ever got a lot of data to the point where i would need to off-load data onto a separate ssd or hdd or other disk-drive storage-device to make room for more data on my main ssd; then the number to off-load that makes the most sense to me right now would be 1TB of data. not 512GB of data. 1TB of data. it's just more logical and easier to tally. and so i've been looking forward to 4TB ssd's tho in truth i really hope that ssd capacity's accelerate a lot faster; so i won't -have- to off-load data into separate non-unified clunky storage disk-drives; but still. it's nice. in case it's needed.

also i've come a long way from my 512MB disk-drive with my 1st pc computer. and even a long way with my more memorable 512GB windows xp pc computer. but. still. to be honest. i still can't wait and am extremely excited and looking forward to 512TB and maybe even 512PB and beyond. i hope we get the rumored supposed instant 1000x boost in computer sometime soon. which should bring us to at least 512TB. i'm really hoping that we don't have a huge war or catastrophic disaster and all die and get sent back to the dark-ages or the stone-age or something.

a lot of you ask "why do you need that much storage data".

well i suppose for most users it would apparently be because they want to record 8k 360-degree 3d "virtual-reality" video at 120fps with 7-channel surround-sound at a total of 8192~16384 kilo-bits-per-second for 24 hours a day or something. or for porn.

i'm more interested in quality over quantity. i love collecting stuff. all media. text, sound, images, videos, videogames, etc..

i originally thought i'd never run out of data and never cared about running out of data until i hit the limit of my 512GB hdd in the past. then i was constantly deleting stuff and running out of space; and couldn't save anything. since then i've been quite basically traumatized and been extremely cautious about what i save and don't save since then. i would love to save everything. if i could. if i had money. which i don't. if i could easily do it. which i can't.

in truth. everyone likes, wants, and even needs higher storage capacity. or unlimited storage capacity. look at all of the posts and videos that are posted constantly. you would quickly fill up your entire disk-dirve by saving all of that. and. yes. i like the idea of saving everything i ever watch ever. -- you also have certain protocols where everyone's computer acts as a server, you download what you want, others upload it to you for you, you upload it to others for others, etc.. you constantly have users downloading, uploading, saving, and deleting files downloaded like this. you can't easily save everything you ever watch ever. --

and i think that if we ever get to the point of storage-capacity's of 512TB -- then we may just be at the point of being able to download and save everything we watch ever forever; maybe with more compression or actually 512PB; but still; i think that's pretty important; and revolutionary in the way we do everything. of course. at that point there will probably be more bloated "virtual-reality" stuff; but still.

what i'm saying is basically if we have higher storage capacity's and better technology accessible and available to the ordinary user then we can be more easily free and independent as individual users.

nothing and no network in the whole world is as free as our own selves, minds, and machines. even if our machines aren't free in price; even if we're basically by ourselves on it. -- seeing how much governments go after people for what they have on their individual machines that are only meant for 1 user -- themselves -- only.

the biggest threat to higher-storage-capacity's by people's demand is probably "service" shit; especially "unlimited" service shit. but so long as most people are... "simple"... and don't care enough to put the effort and know-how to register for it -- and there's "malicious" users taking advantage of it otherwise -- then it shouldn't be a problem. -- as well everyone wanting to be independent should help; be it corporations, networks, servers, and users. or people.

i actually think that 4TB doesn't go far enough. as samsung has a similarly-sized sas ssd at 8TB 16TB that actually exists right now and that they won't make a mainstream-user sata version of for no reason; so we're stuck with 4TB. they also have an nvme pcie m.2 ssd at 8TB that they won't make a mainstream-user m.2 version for no reason; so we're stuck with 2TB. it's a pain. to know it can exist but it won't exist. it's a pain.

i hope someone that is not-samsung goes and takes out samsung with 16TB sata mainstream-user ssd's and 8TB m.2 mainstream-user ssd's.

tired of samsung being ahead of everyone else in existence and taking complete advantage of it.

well. these posts went on for longer than i originally thought.

i just always wanted to talk about everything with what i think about all of this.

i guess if no 1 likes it and wants me to go away then i'll go to youtube as a different user and use a microphone to talk about it instead of posting normally. since. it seems. everyone will always like it. and post youtube link spam here. and praise them. instead of insulting them. making everything like that. but. i love the "old" internet. even if everyone seems to hate it and actually fight against having it exist and be enjoyed now. and instead wants some things like that. and want to post on here. or there. just as long as i can. -- anyway. --

i know this isn't a good post i just wanted to tell someone.

thanks.

This is probably the biggest wall of text I've seen on Sup Forums in a long while.
