I found this memory (https://www.newegg.com/corsair-4tb-mp600-core-xt/p/N82E16820236990?Item=N82E16820236990) and i was a little taken a back because its just 190 for 4tb on an SSD and was wonderign if this even runs good cause I see that its more exspensive by way more everywhere else and this has basically no reviews.

Or is it just better to go for this (https://www.newegg.com/samsung-2tb-980-pro/p/N82E16820147826?Item=N82E16820147826) which is 120 with a bunch of reviews and seems to have more popularity and so i assume better quality cause its samsung.

I know that this is really stupid but im just making sure that the other once since its only a bit more and double the storage would not just be trash compared to just going for the samsung and having less storage

Without getting into qlc and tlc a bunch,
qlc is cheaper with lower write endurance
tlc is more expensive with a much higher write endurance

full briar
#

iirc?

#

Depends on how much storage you need. $190 for 4tb is pretty high for a QLC, not really a deal.

full briar
#

i dont know these words

warm terrace
full briar
#

what is write endurance

#

?

dense adder
#

How much the drive can be written to before degrading into a read only mode

full briar
#

so its better to go lower storage and get the ssamsung

#

cause im gonna be writing a lot

#

but reading a lot too

dense adder
#

Also check the crucial p5 plus as I said.

full briar
#

full briar
#

dense adder

#

full briar
#

dense adder
#

Np

full briar
#

is it worth it to get it with a heatsink

#

its only 10 bucks more

#

wait that might be different than the one without it

#

cause the one without it costs more base unless thats just how its priced

dense adder
#

Does your motherboard have m.2 heatsinks?

full briar
#

im not sure

#

i think it might but only for one probaly

warm terrace
#

A normal person’s use case usually wont exceed 1200tbw in the drive’s lifetime

full briar
#

i dont think i have a second

#

its just empty space i think

full briar
#

so i think im just going to get this

#

but i dont have two slots but i think im probaly fine with just 2 tb more

#

wait thats not true mb

warm terrace
full briar
#

but shoudl i just do the heatskink or no

#

not sure if heatsink is worht it if im not sure i have them on nmy board

warm terrace
#

But i’m just saying that TBW usually isnt a big factor unless it’s too low

full briar
#

ok what about heatsinks

#

Yeah, probably. I’ve been told Samsung ssds are overpriced, which is why I pointed you to the p5 plus

warm terrace
#

Samsung is one of the best SSDs in terms of performance and reliability

#

You are paying a lot extra for that reliability though

#

And i’m talking in the sense of server grade reliability

full briar
#

how much extra am i paying though

warm terrace
#

You certainly dont need that kind of reliability in a regular computer

full briar
#

cause i lost the sale on the other one with heatsink and now both are same price

warm terrace
warm terrace

dense adder
full briar
#

k

warm terrace
#

I would skip all the hassle of heatsink/no heatsink and grab this

#

Doesnt need a heatsink

#

And you already have a boot drive anyways, you dont need 2 fast drives. This one would be enough for most use cases
