If you live in a 7th world country.

>(((qlc)))
might as well erase my data myself

>tfw paid $100 for 256 back in Feb and thought it was a good deal.

I literally bought 3 of them.

It's not QLC dipshit, only the 660p has that scam shit.

It's a rebranded 760p which uses TLC.

Where'd you see $145.35 though? Mine were ~$155 after the 15% eBay discount.

Not "quite" yet. my mechs were still cheaper. But soon enough then I can easily clone from my mech to a ssd without having to reinstall windows and shit. Yep I'm lazy and don't wanna sith through fucking everything to figure it out. Then I can later clear the mech drive and have even more storage.

Everything that came after SLC is shit desu.

It's worse but the difference is QLC is literally a scam and isn't just a "worse TLC/MLC/SLC".

QLC is an entirely different class and needs a separate SLC cache to function, and if you fill up the drive the speeds drop to fucking MECHANICAL DRIVE speeds.

no, they're still more expensive than 1TB HDD.

Should I replace my 1TB HDD for data files with a 1TB SSD or is it useless?

HDDs are fine for storage.

What kind of SSD should i get for persistent read and writes (e.g. torrents)? 3D MLC?

I only buy Samsung SSDs.

>HP

I mean, it will work, but if you want the longer warranty / increased speeds and all that, you might wanna dish some more money out and get a WD or a Samsung M.2 NVME SSD.

Somehow im not surprised intel is behind it, they cant do anything right

>WD
Fuck off /v/ kys dumb nigger

ok, this is epic

I've been pretty happy with Adata, bought an SU900 recently. They're the only ones other than Samsung that offer MLC SSDs for SATA, but are much more affordable than Samsung's PRO series.

You don't need an SSD for torrents

>QLC is an entirely different class and needs a separate SLC cache to function
Eh, it uses some of the QLC drive AS SLC until the drive fills up.

No. 1TB under $100 is cheap enough, just barely.

you do if you want to seed at 1gigabit a second

ez

not NVMe

>QLC
>yo here's a terabyte but you can't write more than a couple gigs at a time or fill up more than a quarter of it or your performance tanks to worse than a 4200rpm 90s laptop drive

Modern HDDs top out at 200MB/s, which is more than enough to saturate a gigabit link. Unless of course you're a 5400 RPM cuck.

seeding is mostly random access though

... of large, multi-megabyte blocks, which are read sequentially.

Have you tried?

What a cuck

Bought this 2 days ago

somehow I feel jewed

>not seeding the mind virus to people all over the planet

I got a 1tb 860 evo after waiting so long to upgrade from my 256gb ssd. Feels nice.

HDD -> SSD (Sata III)

Fuck off Seagate shill, shit ass fucking failed 2TB looking motherfucker lost all my fucking pony porn

cheap enough I picked up an 860 Evo 500GB for $76+, can't wait to install Loonix on it

>pony porn
Sounds like Seagate did you a favor, fucking degenerate.

4TB used for 80 bucks then I'll cave.

Get a mirror of 2TB drives, stripe and mirror if necessary, it will still be cheaper and more reliable than a 1TB SSD.

>(((HP)))
Never

4TB drives are still expensive
when are they going down?

TLC 500GB SSDs going for 70 yuro, yeah it's cheap enough.

WHEN YOU STOP COLLECTING YOUR DUMB PEDO CARTOONS

Although 1TB SSDs have come down a bit in price, I can still get a 8TB HDD for that price and I'ld need like 56 1TB SSDs to fully replace my main online drives and a more for offline drives.

useless for 99% of consumers

Still holding out hoping the 2tb ssd drop in price. Otherwise pulling the trigger on a $300 860 evo

I saw the thread yesterday, but got distracted. I wanted to share a thought: I am kind of angry with how overpriced traditional hhds still are. In our day and age I do not consider holding some tbs of data hording. I owned 6 2-tb-drives some years ago and then reduced this to a single 2 tb and one 3 tb drive. I now would really like to upgrade again, having the appropriate space for media files, but I am just not able to pull the trigger on those truely overpriced 8 tb dinosaurs. Instead I am waiting for 4 tb ssds to reach sane levels, but I fear this is somewhat an instance of pic related.

>NVMe
Who the fuck cares about NVMe?

>it's too expensive abloobloo
You used to pay that much per gigabyte, megabyte even kilobyte if you go back far enough

>HP
Haha, Samsung or get out

And that will cap out a gigabit link once you factor in the overhead from the various protocols involved.

plagiarized straight from a LTT video, well done

>substandard things are OK because long time ago it used to be worse

what will be the future of HDD

my local store sell for old price

>Taking something from a LTT video makes it untrue.
