  • Pris. God ytelse for vanlige brukere.
  • Høy belastning vil kunne gi kortere levetid enn en del andre SSD-er.
  • Så lenge man ikke har et helt spesielt bruksmønster på pc-en SSD-en skal installeres i, ser vi ikke noe problem med å benytte SSD-er basert på TLC-flashminne. Samsung, og andre produsenter som nå kommer med denne typen SSD-er, har nok gjort grundige u...

  • Wskazanie jednego najlepszego dysku SSD w każdym przedziale pojemnościowym jest praktycznie niemożliwe, gdyż specyfikacja techniczna i rozrzut cenowy tych urządzeń okazuje się zbyt szeroki, aby ferować jednoznaczne wyroki. Dlatego podsumowanie podzieliliś...
