Hi all,
So I bought a laptop with Win11 preinstalled on 128gb nvme ssd. The first thing to do is to change that ssd with larger capacity. I need no more than 256gb however I was looking at 500/512 gb considering the price difference.
I also run manjaro linux and since i did not want to have a dual boot drive, I bought an enclosure 3.2 gen 2x1 that supports up to 10gbps (my new laptop has a usb c port that supports that speed)
For the external ssd enclosure, should I get an ssd with dram like adata xpg pro, or I will be fine with a samsung 980. I have checked that the most improtant aspect is 4k Random read speed Q1T1. Both ssds appear to have similiar values there around 60-70 mb/s. I think Samsung 980 beats sx8200 pro at random reads benchmarks.
Also for the one that I want to internally, I do not mind the blazing 3000mb/s speed as I use my pc for light gaming, and daily tasks such as editing documents, reading pdfs and heavy browsing. What I would prioritize here is power consumption. Any other suggestions . Does anyone have a clue which ssd is best at it. Both Samsung and adata cost 50 - 51 Euros at 500gb. I am aware of Adata's practices, yet, dram makes it an attractive option given the price tag and the fact that I do not need that speeds.
Also lets consider I am buying both, which should be used as an external ssd ?
Anyone has experience with Team Group Mp33. Seems decent and is really cheap, will it perform well as a boot drive in the ssd enclosure ?
Thanks for you time.
