What do you think? Is it now or never? I have this feeling that traditional SATA connector SSD:s are gonna disappear in a few years and no true development are going to be done for them anymore.
Not only that but m.sata will also disappear because m2 replaces it.
So if you want traditional 1TB+ SATA SSD drivers it is probably best to buy them soon, they are below 200 dollars anyway in price.
Even if there will be some models for many years from now, they are going to suck. Wont be even the performance of Samsung 850 Pro eventhoough technology "goes forward" all the time.
I also predict that traditional 256GB SATA SSD will "never" disappear but will be a "cheap" option for years to come by for some cheap systems and also the choice for backwards compatibility for old computers with old SATA.
>technology will be deprecated >better buy it now ???
Luke Roberts
no logic sata is there to stay for long time cause it's the only universal option for having many drives and usb is not suited for ssds
Gavin Williams
false and dumb. SATA SSD will keep going down in price until a new tech comes along and does what SSD did to HDD.
Dominic Carter
but why SATA SSD:s are getting progressively worse? Samsung 850 Pro was the best and is many years old now
Jayden Gonzalez
Because samsung does make its own software for it and older tech was the more expensive to make one, and more ralliable too now they can shit same 500gb for 10% of the price of manufacturing, and desu end user will not know difference outside of enterprise use.

Off topic, but sort of on the subject of SSDs. What would be the best value external SSD I can buy at the moment, in the UK. Looking for at least 250GB of storage. Size, portability and speed aren't a huge factor, so entry level. ty Jow Forums
Parker Jackson
just buy a 250gb drive and an enclosure for like $10
Ayden Powell
you mean enclosure is 10 dollars, not both the drive and the enclosure?
Lincoln Thomas
yes obviously
Nicholas Scott
I've got a caddy, or whatever they're called. Are there no interface problems, or are all-in-one external storage solutions really just for cucks who want it to look pretty?

Justin Davis
Why is it you use the : in SSD:s?
Joshua Scott
Actually follow on question from that, are there any alternatives to SSDs, that are still pretty quick? Not sure what the technology of micro SD cards are, but something similar to that perhaps? I only really need something at around 100MB/s, so what would be my best bet there? ty user for the answers so far

>m.sata Nobody cares about your old Thinkpads with your outdated ports. It's already disappeared.
SATA port and SATA SSD drives will always be around as along as HDD are around.
Anthony Murphy
Micro SD wont help you even with 100MB/s if you try to install an operating system on top of it
It cant handle multiple simultaneous writes, which is a requirement for running a modern operating system on a certain recording media
SSD can handle many simultaneous writes and so can hard drives and somewhat surprisingly even compact flash, but micro SD however cannot do this and if you try it you quikcly find out your OS getting stuck all the time.
Adam Barnes
Thats literally not a thing. No one does that. Theres not a single writing style that actually uses that. Did you go to school in some african country and learn pidgin?
Christian Robinson
I bought an m2 but cant get it to work
Sebastian King
such is the price to pay for novel technology
Anthony Clark
he is probably from binland
Ryder Scott
u wot
Jack Wood
>>Until new tech comes along
Yeah bud nvme has been a thing since Haswell and is nearly as cheap as sata ssd
