Are M.2 SSDs dead? | (The M.2 connector might not provide acceptable signal integrity for upcoming PCIe generations)

Good SATA SSDs with DRAM are dying out. SATA SSDs cannot use HMB, so DRAMless SATA SSDs are hit particularly hard. Crucial discontinued their MX500. Their only remaining SATA SSD is the BX500, a DRAMless and sometimes QLC nightmare. WD has removed the DRAM from their WB BLUE, Sandisk had done the sa

Cannot start after SSD upgrade

Since when is crucial “budget level”? They are one of the top players around. Budget level are the cheap SSDs, like the BX500 and stuff. Also, SP is not that bad, obviously not at the same level of bigger brands, but i have a couple and they are not that bad. I looked at many different reviews befor

The Crucial BX500 ain't no replacement for the MX500. It's a joke compared to the MX500 and sometimes performs a lot worse than hard drives. Everyone else is either sun setting their good SATA SSDs or secretly downgrading. I guess everyone views m.2 as the future for consumer SSDs.

Qual a melhor marca para SSD satã?

Depende do seu uso.Caso vc tenha um uso mais pesado planejado para ele, como editar videos, fotografia, se vc fica manejando arquivos grandes o tempo todo, eu investiria em alguma linha mais nobre com d-ram (cache próprio) como o Samsung 870 Evo.Acho que os WD Red tbm possuem e se não me engano são

Help - I read something about being careful which SATA drive I get for the PS2 and I dont remember what it was....

gamestar adapters are hit or miss, either they barely work or just don't work altogether. crucial BX500 SSD are incompatible with PS2, one of the security Sony commands soft locks that specific SSD

I had no idea Kingston still made decent SSDs. Oh, very much so, thankfully. I've done similar naughty list categorizations, but I've stopped considering low-end offerings (otherwise I couldn't buy any SSDs anymore...Crucial's issue for example isn't the BX500, but the EOL of the MX500.). TBH the Ru

High I/O delay

Hey guys,

I freshly setup my new proxmox server with a Intel NUC10i7FNH.

As Storage, I use one Crucial BX500 1TB SSD and a m.2 samsung 980 pro 1TB.

I installed proxmox on the crucial, because I didn’t want to waste space on the m.2.

My problem is, that I get about 2-8% I/O delay without any VM r

Can I make my 10 year old laptop faster or should I buy a new one?

Thanks for the advise! I don't know anything about SSD's. And it's good you told me because the repair shop quoted me a Crucial SSD 1TB 2.5" SATA3 Crucial BX500 SLC/540/500. No DRAM. I'll ask for another one.
