| mercutio | m0unds: is that chap?
cheap even i'm following 850 evo, and i see it came down in cost | [13:17] |
| brycec | It is a fairly good deal, especially for a quality SSD as Intel's are regarded. | [13:25] |
| mercutio | i thought intel didn't even make their own controllers for some reason | [13:25] |
| brycec | $.50/GB is more-or-less the market price on SSDs it seems, but "good SSDs" like the Intel are usually more expensive. | [13:25] |
| mercutio | seems tehy do
i thought they jusdt used sandforce for some reason so neve really paid much attention to them | [13:25] |
| brycec | ← doesn't know, just reports what the world generalyl believes | [13:26] |
| mercutio | on sale it's esay to go under $0.50 /gb
ahh i used to think samsung were good but even crucial m500s aren't that bad, and they were selling recertified ones for $50 for 256gb | [13:26] |
| BryceBot | That's what she said!! | [13:28] |
| brycec | I can't help but feel wary of "refurbished" and "recertified" SSDs (or other heavy-use flash storage). Though I suppose a secure-erase and they're good as new... | [13:29] |
| mercutio | they're meant ot have 1% wear level if that
it's curious the label is totally different i had to secure erase a 840 evo to fix performance and it had already had that firmware restoration fix it's actually more complicated than it at first seems as most computers "lock" the drive while you're booted, and you have to hotplug it to "unlock" it. | [13:32] |
| brycec | Yep
I don't see a real problem with that, keeps people from doing stupid things ;) | [13:35] |

| m0unds | intel used a sandforce controller in the 530, and it's very solid drive. i used tons (100+) of them at my former job for workstations and they're great.
sandforce controller with their own custom firmware i had two samsung 840 pro drives and one had a controller failure and the other had some undisclosed failure. both had to be RMA'd and i am no longer in posession of either so, based on my experience w/samsung drives i wouldn't buy another (that isn't to say every one would have issues, but 2 separate drives w/failures within 6 mos of each other is pretty bad, imo) | [17:57] |
| ............... (idle for 1h12mn) | ||
| mercutio | wow m0unds.
i never hear of pro failures. i've only had problems with ocz drives. | [19:12] |

| brycec | I have 4 (or 5?) OCZ's, not a single single, and had them for a couple of years now (knock on wood)
(2.5 years it looks like - installed my oldest pair of OCZ June 27, 2012 based on filesystem timestamps) @date June 27 2012 | [20:32] |
| BryceBot | 2 years, 35 weeks, 1 day, 21 hours, 33 minutes, 58 seconds ago. [Interpreted date: Wed, 27 Jun 2012 00:00:00 -0700] | [20:35] |
| m0unds | my old workstation has a pair of ocz vortex ssds in it (don't remember which model, but they're 64gb) | [20:41] |
| brycec | You mean Vertex?
My main workstation (the June 2012) is a pair of OCZ Agility3's | [20:42] |
| m0unds | err, yeah
oh, i guess they're 60GB not 64 | [20:43] |
| brycec | heh
It's like you don't even know it... | [20:43] |
| m0unds | i haven't touched that box in a long while
it's in a closet has an AMD phenom something or other in it | [20:44] |
| brycec | To be fair, I can't remember the specs of my closeted system... but at least it's powered and I can check. (I remember it's an AMD..) | [20:45] |
| m0unds | vertex 3s, in an antec p180
or something like that (the chassis) it was that weird aluminum/plastic laminate that supposedly reduced noise yeah, vertex 3 60gb and a 1TB WD black. motherboard was a POS foxconn A79a-s | [20:45] |
| brycec | AMD Athlon(tm) XP 1700+, 768MB, and an old Hitachi 164GB drive :p | [20:48] |
| m0unds | oh wow | [20:48] |
| brycec | All on a VIA KT600 | [20:48] |
| m0unds | eegad
via chipsets | [20:48] |
| brycec | It pretty much keeps chugging away...
(It's out in the storage shed, wifi link, handles all my remote SDR and webcam stuff) | [20:49] |
| m0unds | awesome
i have an asus board w/a via chipset and a pentium 3 733 in it somewhere. i used it to run a pfsense box for years only motherboard i could find that supported ddr (i had a bunch left over after upgrading an athlon box in like 03 or 04) err, used it in a pfsense box, rather http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/ddr-pentium-iii,316-6.html bahaha | [20:49] |
| brycec | heh | [20:53] |
| .... (idle for 18mn) | ||
| mercutio | ddr3 has been around a long time now
i don't think ddr2 was around that long ddr4 doesn't really help much yet. it mostly increases bandwidth, but there are latency demands more than bw atm | [21:11] |
