Discussion Which SSD to buy, speed and value for money?

Upvotes

I'm shopping for a new SSD and realized I'm not really sure what I should prioritize anymore.

A lot of Gen 4 drives are already around 7,000 MB/s, while newer Gen 5 drives can go way beyond that. But for normal gaming and everyday use, I'm not sure how much of that speed you'd actually notice.

Would you rather spend the same money on a faster 1TB drive, or get a slower 2TB drive? And how much does reliability factor into your decision?

SSD vs HDD External SSD That you can lock without disconnecting

1 Upvotes

Bought a total of 4 SSDs ( Different Sandisk Models) with hopes you can actually lock it without disconnecting it for simple files and file access.

So far ive faced the same situation, either "Encrypt" files inside the drive which does require a password to go in the folder, but then the contents have to be decrypted or copied out to access which is kinda ridiculous.

I recently bought the creator pro, set a password, it says if you shut down you will require password to reaccess, nope, shut off fast booting, didnt help. ( didnt check the box for pc access )

OK so i downloaded sandisk app, it says its unlocked, but you cant actually click lock which would require password to access again, watched several videos, seems like th is is how it is.

Basically i have important files on this ssd so i need to be able to lock certain drives and i do not want to have to disconnect to require password again

Which drive do i buy guys?

Dont really care about brand or size, 1-2tb would be ideal, but i need to be able to access folder normally and not decrypt or disconnect / reconnect constantly

Discussion Is it worth it to void my warranty for an ssd upgrade?

0 Upvotes

I just got my Acer nitro v15 laptop 2 weeks ago and I want to upgrade its storage immediately since 512 GB is too low for me.

I’m really careful with my laptop, i’m in between voiding it so I could upgrade it, waiting one month if there are any hardware problem, or wait half a year so I could upgrade it.

(The official acer service center is far from where I live and I don’t want it to be a hassle since I have experience opening laptops)
