MX500 is faster but costs more
How much faster is the Mx500?
if I'm using it to externally boot macOS, but putting it through a USB 3.0.
Will it make a significant different which one i go with?
It'll be the same. It's really only faster in benchmarks but general use it will be indistinguishable.
If you are using usb 3.0 for both, I would imagine usb would still be the bottleneck? So same speed.
Alright thanks you guys!
They're getting snapped up pretty quick, wanted the blue m2 250gb but alas.
sounds like it's worth waiting for another P1 1Tb deal?
if you want to copy a file larger then 100Gb's with the P1 after like 30 seconds of copying at 1700mbps it slows down to 60mbps :).
i wouldn't touch the QLC non SD-ram hard drives with a stick.
From my experience, both QVO and BX500 were more than okay. Speed was definitely faster than mechanical drives. Especially, I have never experienced performance hiccup with QVO even though it is DRAM-less and has QLC. My only concern is a life-span of those SSDs.
essentially I can't work out what should I do
I have a laptop with an nvme slot and 2.5 sata
system is running off a small 128gb nvme drive while I put in an old 240gb sata drive to add a bit of storage, I am running out however
so I could either get a 1tb nvme and run the system off that, throw out the 240 sata drive and make laptop lighter too
or I could leave system on 128 nvme and stick in a QVO terabyte into sata slot for raw storage, it's mostly reading anyway

Is the NVME a SATA or M.2? No brainer if it’s a M.2….you’ll get much higher R/W speeds.
Even if your NVME is a SATA, I’d probably stick with a larger NVME and remove both existing SSDs.
@[Deactivated]: Got your acronyms muddled up.
NVME cannot be SATA. It's the standard for accessing non-volatile memory over PCI Express.
M.2 (the form factor) can be used for NVME SSDs or SATA SSDs.
you are lucky, i discovered that my laptop has a sshd drive! i thought it had 2 drive slot. it was a sshd.
Can anyone confirm is M.2 faster than a standard SATA 2.5" drive? Thinking of a 2nd drive for my optiplex 7020. TIA
Only if it's M.2 NVME Drive, this is the same speed as standard SSD
Ok. Thanks for your help :)
Save that M2 slot for an NVMe drive in my opinion.
Those were the days which I got BX500 240GB for just $36 delivered, now SSD are so expensive
Yeah why the bloody price hikes? I got a few at those prices too about 1 year ago… on all brands, not covid related or the $AU really, been happening for a few months at shyte prices….
This Vs mx500?
