SSD Buying Help

chetansha · Mar 30, 2022

Hi, help me decide which SSD to buy from US. ( some one carrying it so duty is not an issue. AFAIK, wd, samsung and crucial give international warranty, so not an issue either) This will be secondary ssd, for storage purposes. Main ssd is gigabyte gen 4 2tb nvme

Is SSD even recommended for storing data? Don't they have a lesser life span than a HDD?
Also should the SATA be considered if you can get NVMe for around the same price?

Samsung.

WD Blue works amazing if you want a budget option. You should check for an international warranty with them. Although SSDs hardly go bad.

+1 for Samsung, I've used and compared both.
But why Samsung SATA version in this list ?
you can try Samsung 970 Evo Plus https://www.newegg.com/samsung-970-evo-plus-2tb/p/N82E16820147744
It's more expensive but worth the price. I am using 3 of these 2TB and its slightly faster than WD 750 black

Go with this https://www.newegg.com/western-digital-2tb-blue-sn570-nvme/p/N82E16820250213 as I am using it and its giving the below benchmarks.
BTW I am using 1TB version.

WD SN 750 should be the best option according to my view

Way over my budget. Ideally looking for something in 10k, performance does not matter.

samiryadav · Mar 30, 2022

if you are going SATA way,
Go for Crucial MX500 2TB

if you are going nvme way:-
WD SN570 is better option.

Synth-Pop · Mar 30, 2022

yes, if Nvme SN 750 is within budget it's the best option.
if budget doesn't allows than SN 550 / 570 isn't a bad choice for storage use.
buy only NVME if you've m.2 slot available.

I would prefer samsung over western digital as my experience was not good with WD, also i an using Samsung 860 pro from past 6 years with no issues so far so go for samsung ssd.

SN750 or SSD 980. Both are very very good. If you can buy these, no point in consider WD Blue or 2.5" SSDs.

Samsung 980 is not released in 2TB version ASFAIK.(I never saw one anywhere)
Only Samsung 980 pro 2TB is available.

Priority goes like this for performance:
SN750 > SN570 >> Qvo (as Qvo is QLC, don't opt QLC unless there's a good cost saving)

Prefer WD Blue or Crucial MX500 for 2.5" SATA drive.

I think SN570 is almost equal to SN750 in performance or even better. As per screenshot posted by bsssunilreddy it looks amazing performance wise and vfm item.

Check the review I linked, it has SN750 vs SN570 in benchmarks.

checked the review, still I'll go with SN570. I agree, SN 750 is slightly better in some benchmarks and yes it's sustained performance is much better than SN 570.
These benchmarks are for 1 TB version, 2TB will perform even better.

If I am not mistaken this SSD 980 is Samsung's non pro version (DRAM less) ?. I'd used 1TB version of both these SSD's. As per my experience, irrespective of benchmarks Samsung 980 performs marginally better in daily usage scenario.

WD sn750 is a great ssd . I personally use a sn850 and its a great ssd

Normally whenever I want to buy a SSD i refer to newmax's spreadsheet from reddit, great for reference and comparisons, has all the details and some recommendations as well.
