Hello Dimers,
I need a SSD for my lap. Its hard disk will fail any time. After alot of Research i found that SSD with DRAM is the good thing. I recently got an offer on Kingston 256GB KC600 SATA 3 2.5" Internal SSD (SKC600/256G) for Rs.2900.
Is it worth it? or should I wait for the upcoming sale?? i am totally confused. Kinldy share your suggestions

Ssd with dram? I don’t know about that lol. The main difference between ssds is whether it’s SATA based or nvme drives which are pci-e based. The former is older tech, slower but still more than fast enough for day to day usage. If you just want a basic drive then go for them Kingston or Crucial entry level drives. If you want it for advanced usage then opt for nvme drives. At 3k range you will get 250 gigs drives anyway. Check onlyssd.com whether they still offering better prices than amazon or MD or not.

my system does not support nvme.
well there are several models like in crucial MX500 and BX500 , MX500 will cost more than BX500. because it have a DRAM.

crucial MX500 is budget friendly and highly recommended but if speed is question than Samsung EVO is the best.

I have mx500 for last 2 years and mx300, using for 4 years. One of best drives after samsung. Do go with drive containing dRam if you are using it as primary drive. Boot time now 20/seconds from earlier 3 mins with hard drive.

Yes, SSDs with dram are usually better than the dramless. Also, they comes with higher warranty period compared to dramless SSDs.

It all comes down to your budget and the purpose of the SSD. I would have suggested to go with Crucial MX500 instead of Kingston KC600 if both were sold at same price. But then Mx500 is being sold at 4.1K on Amazon currently and 2.9K is a sweet deal for a dram SSD. Just make sure, it’s new sealed packed piece from where you are getting it.

For more brief comparison, refer this video :- htt.../m.

Don’t let all the above fancy mumbo jumbo bother you, go for any SSD, it will fast as hell compared to a standard HDD in your laptop

DRAM/QLC/NAND, as an end user., you’re not going to notice a significant difference unless you do regular copy/move of large number of files in huge volume size.

Regarding pricing, here’s my calculation 10/- per GB, if you get a price below that, you’ve got yourself a deal. Look for sites which offer 10% off, and then pick a SSD from them. Any SSD will do, in terms of reliability, the technology itself is very reliable, so get any one and enjoy your speed: )

LOL we are discussing which is better SSD. But ignored if the laptop would support the fancy tech stuff.

Just 2 weeks back upgraded 2 netbook. One was compatible to ssd and another older one not.

Compatible? As in? Can’t we just install SSD in place of HDD? Are you saying about extra slot?

If you want with SSD with RAM, WD blue or Samsung Evo.

If you copy/paste less or occasionally, stick with cheap SSD.

Only WD Blue worth buying is WD Blue SN550 which is NVMe & even though it is dram-less NVME it matches the performance of dram NVME kingston A2000. For DRAM ssd best options are samsung evo & crucial MX500.

I am not going to confuse you by going deep technical. At Rs.2800~3000 is good price for 256GB SSD. Check if the SSD has 3Nand Technology. 3D Nand has faster read & write speed & lasts for long. Don’t go for SSD having QLC flash memory or TLC. . It is outdated, slow flash memory usually found in low cost SSDs.
Flipkart sale is going to start today at 6PM for plus member. See if you can get Samsung EVO 860 256GB around 4K. I am suggesting for going for Samsung SSD as Samsung SSD provide best read & write speed specially when you copy a lots of files at same time. Btw you can go to kingston SSD,however writing speed wil be not like Samsung SSDs.
