SSD Intel 3510 vs Samsumg 850 evo

[anderson9987]

The samsumg cost something like 100 and the intel s3510 cost 250.
Samsung uses TLC and Intel uses MLC.
Also intel have better power loss protection(I need this).

But i was reading this comparison:
http://ssd.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Samsung-850-Evo-250GB-vs-Intel-S3500-Series-240GB/2977vsm14275

(I see that the bench is about the 3500 and not the 3510. But 3510 bench is not available and
its performance is not very different)

The samsumg has 40% more random read 4k speed (38 MB vs 27 MB).
and samsung has 40% more mixed random 4k(33 vs 24 MB).

How can Samsung beat Intel in this?You pay 2.5 times more and you get this?

And do you have anything against using s3510 in my desktop?
(not in a server) ?

thx in advance.

You are paying for Enterprise features, but the performance is lower for 2.5x the price. Yes.

*And you "need" power loss protection but do you know how short a time period that actually is? It's probably a battery or a few capacitors to allow the last second or so of data to be saved.

If power loss is that critical you should investigate a UPS. You need one that supports the PFC circuit likely such as a Cyberpower 1500VA model with "PFC" in the name. https://www.amazon.com/CyberPower-CP1500PFCLCD-Sinewave-Compatible-Mini-Tower/dp/B00429N19W

They are different architectures, so they work and perform differently. Until recently intel once they reached their theoretical write limit would warn you once and then stop so you can't access the data (and you pay 2.5 times more for that). If it is not an OS disk they now allow read only access.

Why do you need the power loss protection, better to have this at the machine level possibly?

Capacitors as I thought, so it's just to protect data in the buffer that hasn't had time yet to write to long-term memory because the computer lost power and couldn't finish that transfer (so the SSD detects the power loss and uses the capacitor power to finish writing any data). That's going to be a very small period of time.

they'll both more or less the same, unless you are charging a rate for your time by the second it's irrelevant.

Huh?
They aren't the same as the Samsung is faster but the Intel has enterprise power protection; and "charging a rate for your time"? Not sure what you're going on about.
