    I am trying to buy a ssd rather 128gb up to 200 zlotys max 250 as there will be a better system with small programs takes 30 gb, the rest about 40 gb so i think 128 is enough.
    I thought about
    Adata su800 3 years in PLN 190 as recently as the premiere of the 3D dice nand tlc
    Adata premier pro sp920 5 years gw 230 PLN has bones mlc and 5 years gw but is probably older than su800
    Goodram iridium gen2 120gb bones mlc 225 PLN

    So which one to choose, I know that the memory controller also counts and I do not know it at all.
    Or maybe there is another one at this price that will be good.
    Thank you in advance for your answer.

    Take [GoodRam Iridium], but I advise you to choose the 240GB version, so that you don't wake up with your hand in the proverbial potty and spit on your chin in a few months.
    I already had a few customers who were eager to save, and in a few months they bought 240GB, which was associated with a reinstallation of the system and an additional cost.
    So buy bigger once and don't waste 2 times.

    Well, I do not have enough money to buy 256gb which costs about 390 PLN. I was planning to buy 128 if it won't fit, I will have a hdd and in the future I would like to buy a second ssd and crash the hdd.
    Has anyone else any suggestions?

    Iridium Gen2, despite theoretically weak controller, can cope with standard use. The SP920 has a good controller, good memories, unfortunately a bit slower write speed, but it's also a very good hard drive, plus a 5-year warranty.

    When it comes to cheap, today I bought a Crucial BX300, apparently on MLC bones, I paid PLN 199 for the 120GB version (in total I found it only in X-com, maybe it will be cheaper somewhere). When I have a moment, I will test how it works and show off the results.

    Here the IRDM GEN2 benchmarks, unfortunately I only had 240GB, but for comparison, a colleague from the Forum also threw a measurement from the 120: https://www.elektroda.pl/rtvforum/topic3416340.html

    This was the answer I wanted
    So it turns out that the su800 can be unloaded and think about sp930 and goodram irdm 2gen. How do you test the crucial, let me know :)

    I wanted to write sp920 spelling, but in fact, how do these disks work in the sense that you have checked how long it takes to send a file, for example?

    I checked, but uploading one file is a poor test. In general, the tests you see results from simulate many scenarios. Sequential read / write is working on one large file. Working with small 4kB files is more demanding for the disk and different scenarios are visible in the form of different results.

    When choosing a disk, I rather focus on how it will work in not very ideal conditions, i.e. work with a large number of smaller files - because each SSD will handle relatively well with large continuous files.

    Which of these discs would you recommend rather on mlc dice? that is, the adata su800 would fall off and I would like to have at least 70 gb of files on this disk with the system I think up to a maximum of 85 gb. Will the efficiency drop significantly when it is full enough? Or maybe cruciala

    In total, assuming an occupancy of over 50%, I would rather target 240-256GB models. Each of the models listed on the MLC has its own advantages and disadvantages, and with normal use, they all work well.

    there is still a disk on m.2 I found xpg sx6000 pci express 3.0 x2 and I have an asrock h110m pci express 2.0 x2 disc, will the twn disk not fold at all or will it work slower?

    The m.2 discs will not fit to my colleague, unless through a grommet (which will be pointless, because it will either clog the x16 port, where the graphics card works, or it will sit on the x1 port, because there are no other boards).

    One more question :) namely, what do you think about the crucial mx300, so I know that the bone is tlc but 3d nand so it's not too bad, I mainly expect the disk to see a performance jump compared to hdd, and mine sometimes has 100% consumption. I have the opportunity to buy a crucial mx300 275 gb and this is the second advantage because in my case the disk will be occupied around half of the space. For PLN 250 and I can still pick it up in person. A new disc with ttm that this someone sells with a guarantee but there is no proof of purchase (i.e. there is no guarantee) new discs in the store are for about PLN 350, so you will save PLN 100

    Any SSD will be a performance leap in the transition from HDD. I tested the MX300, it works fine, I wouldn't buy it myself, but if someone were to force me to buy a TLC memory disk, it would probably be one of the candidates.

    At the price of PLN 250, this MX300 is even an interesting proposition, as long as it is not slaughtered (and this can be judged after watching the SMART disc - you can also confirm whether it is really new).

    Buying electronics without a warranty is quite risky, because even the best product may fall even after a few minutes of operation due to a possible factory defect. I would be tempted to do something like this, having at least a reliable seller's start-up warranty.

    If anyone else could speak.
    if I have 70-80 gb files on goodram irdm, will this disk not slow down? because su800 apparently drops its performance drastically. How much space will be available for something around 110 gb? Thanks in advance for your answer.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around selecting a 128GB SSD within a budget of 200 to 250 PLN, focusing on three models: ADATA SU800, ADATA Premier Pro SP920, and Goodram Iridium Gen2. Users express concerns about storage capacity, performance, and longevity. Recommendations lean towards the Goodram Iridium Gen2 for its MLC NAND, despite its weaker controller, and the ADATA SP920 for its solid performance and 5-year warranty. The importance of choosing a larger capacity SSD (240GB) to avoid future issues is emphasized. Alternatives like the Crucial BX300 and MX300 are also mentioned, with considerations regarding their TLC NAND and performance compared to HDDs. Users inquire about the impact of SSD fullness on performance and the risks of purchasing used drives without warranties.
