i have a WD Green 240gb SSD in my desktop pc with my windows os install on it since about june 2018 and i used that pc every day and ssd is still fast and works good
Had a WD Green running OS, legit took the computer 7 mins to boot.
Replaced with a samsung evo and now it's no longer than 40secs-1 min.If you've had success and don't mind any performance issues, go ahead and get the cheapest :)
There is no world where a functional SSD takes 7 minutes to boot.
You're either being liberal with the truth, or there is a fault in your hardware or software and you are blaming the easiest source instead of fault finding.
@AnotherRedLight: From power on to fully logged in all apps running, it was legit around 7 mins.
Startup apps weren't even crazy think things like steam, battlenet, epic games, discord, onedrive, xbox, gog galaxy.
Hard drive read was almost at 100% constantly.
Tried a fresh reformat/reinstall of windows, no luck.Replaced SSD from WD green to Samsung EVO and voila.
Without being a SSD technician the root cause seems to be the cheap SSD, given it was purchased brand new, assumption is WD Green = a shit SSD?
But thanks for your understanding and the downvote on my above comment :)@Xetrok: The story changes.
Was 7 minutes to boot, now its 7 minutes to log in and all apps up and running.
Next minute it was 7 minutes from when i went to the shops to get some milk.
@AnotherRedLight: Ok bud. You must be fun at parties.
Regardless of whatever you want to sook about context wise and be a condecending memelord for, the problem was the WD Green SSD, which linking back to the topic is a cheap SSD and based on my own experience, would avoid.
Thanks for playing xoxo.@Xetrok: 1 single faulty SSD, avoid the whole series.
Reality is, you have no expertise in computer parts and are giving advice on that knowledge of 1 single faulty SSD.
Bit like me having a problem with a Toyota Corolla and telling everyone to avoid buying Toyota corollas.
@AnotherRedLight: It was a real and lived experience, my opinion is valid as much as you dislike it. :)
Have a good night champion.
Cheap SSDs tend to suffer with large writes.
If the case is a lot of reading and low writes, a cheap drive can be acceptable
Just get any name-brand like Crucial, WD, Samsung, etc.
I would avoid any random brand SSDshttps://au.pcpartpicker.com/products/internal-hard-drive/#t=…
According to that, the Orico Y-20 for $39.08 - https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0CZLJYWLN
That said, you can get a Patriot Burst 480GB for $37.49. It's more per GB but a lower price overall since it's 32GB smaller.
Reading back on OP's past post seems the person never bothers to do their own research, rather expects it to be done by others.
i checked amazon but sometimes i miss things
Miss things is an understatement
Fikwot.
When did Amazon delete their search and filter systems?
Cheap may mean just barely functional, had a WD Green SSD and the performance was shocking (probs same/worse than a mech drive).
Just ball out for a samsung evo or something.
