![]() ![]() ![]() Otherwise inexpensive DRAM less SSD's are good enough for normal uses like office works, browsing, school work etc. Go for DRAM based SSD if you want no compromise speeds and longer life or if you are a power multimedia user. I shortlisted this Crucial and Samsung 870 evo(my choices also included WD blue SA510 & ADATA SU650), but eventually went with Crucial as it wasġ) Good brand with less complaints from users(did some digging into forums) unlike samsung where many got their 870 corrupted after some 2-4 years, WD blue also had serious deadness issues and personally I don't wanna mess with corrupted or dead HD's□, plus Crucial is made by Micron company which also supplies FLASH memory modules for other companies to make their own SSD's, so kinda reliable throughout industries □.Ģ) Good price and offer especially for 500GB version.(It again got reduced to 4175/- & 4125 now from Appario Retail□, you might get it even cheaper from Appario itself)ģ) I'm not a gamer, just a normal/multimedia user with some Image editing here and there + normal jobs, and M2 slots were not available on the motherboard for those new NVMe SSD's, so this was the only possible solution to give some new life to my old PC.Ĥ) This is one of those SSD's in this price range with DRAM, meaning it'll have longer life than DRAM-less SSD's like crucial BX500, EVM, and all other inexpensive SSD's. And a quick test confirms the manufacturer promised speeds(provided you are using it on the "SATA 3" port on the motherboard- VERY IMPORTANT□□). The pictures are given comparing the size to an older 500GB 7200RPM HDD from Seagate. □The Boot time has become 13.63 or 12 seconds from 20 seconds(previous old HDD was a 500GB 7200RPM Seagate), the shutdown time reduced from >2mins to just 13.43seconds□□. Refer to your operating system support for specific instructions and risks around these changes, but be aware that if an adjustment seems especially invasive or of limited usefulness, they are not necessary for general use of your SSD as a high-performance storage device.Bought this Crucial SSD after doing some good research during this festive sale and it has made my 8 year old Core i3 + 8GB Ram Desktop super-fast□. ![]() Also, several of these changes are more involved than some users may be comfortable with adjusting on their own. Suggestions such as enabling AHCI mode and modifying write-cache buffer flushing settings may improve performance or stability, though are not beneficial for all users and may not be possible in some host systems. This screen also identifies possible performance optimizations which can be made in Windows. zip archives in the directory Storage Executive is installed under. Individual Drive Details screens provide more drive information, including a value for Total Bytes Written to allow monitoring of NAND write-wear, as well as what driver and interface the SSD is utilizing.Ī drop-down menu on this screen (in the upper-left) provides a Get Debug Data option for your system, which will generate error logs and may be requested by Crucial Support for diagnostics of system malfunctions. ![]()
