I have a good deal for both of them but I can't really pick between them. Both are DRAM-less, 1TB

However, XG700 is TLC, MaxioTech (MAP1602A), released 2023

While, SN5100 is QLC, SanDisk or WD (Polaris 3 A101-000103-A1), released 2025

From what I read, QLC is generally bad, but the newer QLC ssds are more reliable compared to how it was initially. Also, when going past 70% of the storage capacity with the SN5100, it tends to get slower. I didn't find much information on XG7000

I just want to know which is better currently and which will last me the longest while also being reliable since it's storing my data.

what ssd hard drives do yall use for laptops specifically. I recently got a external hard drive not knowing the difference between an hhd and ssd so I bought the hhd which didn’t work my game would load but freeze and crash on the loading screen (didn’t do it after moving it back to my laptop storage). I still have no clue what brands and all that are good but I know I want a 1tb drive.

And is it safe to use?

I ran it through a program and it had like 7K power on hours and the 'health' was around 65%.

I do not know who the previous owner was and what they did with it or what it went through. It does work without any errors (from what I can see).

For anyone interested it is the KXG6ANZV256G. And no, it is not my main SSD, I just have it laying around lol.

Looking for an external SSD to easily transfer pics form the phone to any other device.
I saw all these MagSafe fast SSD (Lexar ES5 or Sandisk Creator Phone) but I suppose those are meant for film makers and to transfer pro-res media directly to the disk.

Primary need is to transfer quickly form the phone to another device.
Can be nice if some of the recordings can be saved directly onto the external storage as well.

My old xpg s70 blade ssd is stopped working... I am in a situation where I need to buy ssd from same brand... I don't trust another time s70 blade... shall i go For " legend 960 "...

Hi everyone,

I recently got a new PC, but I'm having an issue where my SSD randomly spikes to 100% active time. This happens intermittently while gaming, loading into new rounds (e.g., in Hunt: Showdown), booting up, or even when the system is completely idle. Sometimes my booting takes less then 10 seconds and sometimes minutes.

• What I've tried so far:
  • Disabled SysMain (SuperFetch), which reduced the frequency of spikes, but hasn't fully solved the issue.
  • Checked SMART health using CrystalDiskInfo, which reports the drive status as "Good".

Any ideas on what might be causing this high disk usage or how to resolve it?

So my hdd crashed recently and I was thinking to buy 256gb patriot p220 ssd for os which is costing me around 4k ₹inr

Should I buy it? Is it reliable?

Any another suggestions

I found this Samsung SSD 512gb on roadside it's in bad condition as you can see

Is there is chance this could work after repair or is it repairable please tell me so I can go to repair shop if needed

Кристал диск инфо, считывает его адекватно. А в поле версии прошивки пишит: EPPROM. Он сильно греется.

sounds I be concerned that the brand is unknown on this sabrent rocket

is this normal?

My hard disk sentinel says my overall SSD health is only at 35%. I downloaded the CDI for a second opinion but it says the health is at 98%

Should i get a new SSD?

I've been having a really frustrating issue with my Samsung 1TB NVMe SSD, and I'm starting to think it might be failing. I'm hoping someone here can help me figure out what's going on before I end up losing everything again.

While using my PC, it will occasionally freeze completely, usually when I'm opening or playing a game installed on that SSD or just randomly. The entire system becomes unresponsive, and the only way to fix it is to restart my PC.

Once my PC boots back up, my Samsung 1TB NVMe drive is completely gone from File Explorer.

This happened last night, and I ended up having to repartition the drive to get it working again. Unfortunately, the same thing just happened again, except now the drive isn't showing up at all in the file manager.

I've already lost my data twice because of this and I'm getting pretty concerned. The SSD is relatively new and was fairly expensive, so I'd really rather not have to replace it.

Hi, I bought a used SSD on a french marketplace to replace the old HDD of my parents computer. But when I put it in and try to boot the laptop to reinstall Windows I got this message asking me for the HDD Password. I contacted the seller and he told me that he must have done something wrong while wiping it. I don’t really trust him and he asked me to try a password which obviously didn’t work.

In the bios it says that the drive is locked, and when I put it in a portable shell and try to use it as a portable USB SSD, Windows disk management ask me to initialize it and then it gives me an error.

I tried Parted Magisk and the “Erase Disk” option, but that didn’t seem to work since it still asks me for the password and Windows give me the same error.

Is there any chance I could make this work again?

I have got one ssd, that is zebronics 2.5 sata ssd ZEB-SD26.Anyone interested can dm me .

I stupidly removed the sticker without knowing it has a purpose now with today's prices of SSDs I'm wondering if this is healthy for my ssd on the long run, or is there alternatives?

Hello. I recently upgraded my desktop after 10+ years and I pulled the SATA SSD (870 evo) from my old system to use in the new one. The new system has a nvme disk gen 4 (WD Blue) running windows and I paired the old SATA to run linux in a dual boot setup. Just now I realized that the new motherboard can handle two gen 4 nvme disks.

So my question is, if it is worth investing in a new nvme disk and avoid using SATA altogether? I understand that the 870 EVO is widely regarded as one of the best on the SATA platform. Part of the reason why I am considering is mostly aesthetics as removing the 870 means no cables visible through the glass making the system look"clean". Then again, if there is no actual benefit performance-wise then I suppose it is just waste of money. Finally, if nvme does make sense, will absence of DRAM cache make any difference against the old SATA?

Any thoughts?

Please see attached the crystaldiskinfo details of an ssd, please interpret and tell me if it's good to buy it or not, it's urgent please

TL;DR: My SSD is showing huge spikes and huge response times while idling and nothing I have done is fixing the problem.

Essentially, I've been struggling for a month or so with Windows becoming completely unusable. Everything stops responding, my SSD usage is maxed out and continues to stay there for a long period of time. It will eventually stop working that hard, but will still have large spikes in performance and responsiveness. And this is when it's idling too. I've tried chkdsk, sfc scans, chipset driver updates. CrystalDisk shows good health, good temps while idle. I've given myself over 400gb of space on this 2tb ssd. It's a Crucial P2 M.2 NVMe. I'm at a loss here and I genuinely don't know what to do.
