I have decided to save up for a 500GB ssd for heavy games like gta V and other slow loading games, is this ssd a good go? If i buy it now i get it for 250.5 usd.

Norway. Everything over 120 bucks increases by 30% import taxes and other fees, that's why the price.
And i prefer to get it here, cause if i order it from outside my country, then i have to pay 60 bucks just to export it back.

Fast, cheap, tested Marvell controller, MLC, a power-protection capacitor... I like the BX100.
Well TechReport already proved that it's almost impossible to wear out SSDs.Originally Posted by tsm106
No slc caching so supposedly it will wear out under writes much faster.

In Norway, the BX100 500GB is the same price as MX100 512GB and even the Samsung 850 EVO 500GB.
I think I'd rather have the Samsung

it's a solid budget drive that performs well. it lacks full drive encryption and some other features found in the MX100/MX200.

Yes you're right. It still uses MLC flash though, right?
Whoops, got it confused with the MX200Originally Posted by Sean Webster

Ah gotcha, just wanted to make sure you weren't in the US and getting ripped off.

It's not about the flash modules it's about the caching and without slc caching which protects against write burn out, this drive is really a risk and should be stupid cheap to justify the ymmv aspect in regards to write life. I see no reason to buy this drive if it's not substantially cheaper than comparable drives.Originally Posted by brucethemoose

Well, i'm gonna use this ssd for games, and that only uses the read speed rather than the write. So that makes it being able to live a fairly long time right?

Unless the MX200 has dedicated SLC NAND for use as cache, I really don't see how the "dynamic SLC" function will protect against write burn out. As far as I'm aware, the driving reason for using MLC/TLC in SLC mode is speed rather than longevity.Originally Posted by tsm106

Norway is a very small market (~5M pop) but also the richest per capita country in the Western World. (Luxembourg is a "city").Originally Posted by sonarctica

We cannot have it our way all the time, can we?
A rich country should mean "low wage" ppl are making more, services and products through-out supported/performed by high-wage ppl cost more.
Trust me, you have it better than 99% of ppl in the US and the huge majority of the world - weather aside. =)

Sonartica, any reason you are going for the BX100 instead of Samsung 850 EVO or the MX100?
They are all priced the same at 223$ / 1800 NOK.
Just curious.
It might be expensive over here.. and cold and ****ty weather..Originally Posted by pcfoo
