Goodram IRDM PRO vs Crucial MX500 vs Samsung 860 EVO: 250GB SSD for Office/Gaming Use

Hello. I'm thinking about choosing a 250GB SSD. I am considering Goodram IRDM PRO, Crucial mx500 and Samsung 860 EVO. I use the computer mainly for office tasks + browser, rarely games (rather undemanding). Which of these discs would you recommend or suggest another one? ADATA drops out

I have been using Samsung SSD 850 PRO disk for several years and for now there are no problems with it.
I was prompted to buy good test results and a 10-year manufacturer's warranty.

IRDM PRO will be a good compromise of price, quality and warranty period. It is a disk on a relatively decent controller, good MLC memories and has a 5 year warranty. Both other designs are based on TLC memories, which is why I would choose IRDM PRO (despite the fact that MX500 or 860 EVO are quite good drives).

I'm just a little afraid that I've heard that they are quite often emergency, there are a lot of problems with the service and do not guarantee such performance as other SSDs.

As for the website, I don't know, I didn't have to use it, but I bought a three-digit number. Although not, one once fell (Iridium PRO, but it's the same disk before re-labeling). I realized the guarantee in Morelach without any problems.

As for the performance it's probably - you can find disks faster and slower than those GoodRAM. However, my decision is influenced by the type of memory used. I prefer MLC memory than TLC, assuming that they can withstand more write cycles. But here everyone is choosing what they like.

By the way - it's worth looking at benchmarks that are performed on large data samples. High-performance TLC disks often rely on a fairly large and fast buffer. The buffer has limited capacity, and when it ends, the disks are no longer that fast. TLC memories don't break speed records. Of course, under normal use, this buffer is rarely clogged. Just as it seldom happens, we notice the difference between a slightly worse and slightly better SSD "by eye". The difference must be large enough to see it, especially in standard use.

So I guess I'll decide for him. Compared to my HDD, I will notice a rather big difference, regardless of whether it breaks records or not.
What I meant with the service was that I heard that it has no manufacturer's warranty, only the seller, which is a bit strange and hard to believe for me.
If you can, just tell me if I'm thinking right. This disk before re-labeling is the usual black and newer is the one with red inserts? Because I'm a little mistaken that both versions can be in one store and once more the price is more expensive once.

There used to be GoodRAM Iridum PRO and GoodRAM Iridium products - without PRO (I skip completely lower models from the C / CX / CL series).

Now there are models with red inserts, i.e. GoodRAM IRDM PRO and GoodRAM IRDM (without PRO).

IRDM PRO is probably an exact copy of Iridium PRO (the same controller, the same declared all parameters on the manufacturer's website, probably the same memories, since it turned out so evenly).

IRDM (without PRO) is ... it seems like a new disk, because it does not have much in common with the old IRDM - it is a completely different controller.

If you are interested, it once fell into my hands IRDM (without PRO) and I measured it in several tests by contrasting the results of my much longer Iridium PRO (i.e. IRDM PRO now). https://www.elektroda.pl/rtvforum/topic3434173.html

So I understand that it's best and safest to be tempted by GoodRAM IRDM Pro, with red stickers?

Yes, but only IRDM PRO (GEN2) https://www.x-kom.pl/p/415086-dysk-ssd-goodram-240gb-25-ssd-mlc-irdm-pro-gen2.html this pro is after just better.
+ 60 months warranty
+ MLC bones
+ plus or not is a Polish company

If you find Iridium PRO (no red stickers), this is the same disk. If you also get a 5-year warranty on it, there is no reason to insist on the stickers.

Even better my friend said that this Gen 2 got in a box from Iridium PRO
