@@BobsterStudios_ uhm yeah thats very cool buddy. but i just got news from the real smasnug and they told me that they are launching their 10090 pro ssd.
As long as the scam is putting a 5 over the 4 in 4090 ti super for $1000 USD...then scam as much as you'd like haha. But more realistically it would probably be a gtx580 with a 0 on top in-between the 5 and 8 lol.
master and slave used to be terms for hard drives way back in 486 CPus then evolved to primary and secondary and these days it will just boot from whatever your bios prioritize
SK Hynix drives are just as performant as Samsung drives yet are cheaper. SK Hynix has P31(Gen 3) and P42 (Gen 4). The only thing that is disappointing about them is there are no 4tb drives. I'm not just being contrary- I own and operate an IT company hand have easily installed over 200 of the Hynix drives.
@@greembow the new 980 and 990's are not as reliable yes, many reviewers and articles are coming out about this. But using your 1 year anecdotal experience, with the newest SSD's, to claim Samsung SSD's aren't reliable. When there is tons of factual data to prove that over the past almost 20 years they have been one of the most reliable. Your short term experience doesn't trump actual evidence and data.
SK Hynix P41 is super reliable. Silicon Power is also a cheaper and very good brand for ssd, but they source their part from Sk Hynix so pretty much the same
I'm guessing just like with fake memory sticks, they're probably programmed to appear like they have 4tb, so people wrongly assume they're legit. Then they save precious files onto the drive, and while it may appear to be there, when you go to open it, the file is corrupt because it just keeps over writing itself.
The reason why new builders use the Samsung SSD's is because of name recognition. They are not familiar with all of the different brands and when they see Samsung they at least know that brand (from the phones) and that the drives are probably pretty good.
I have been scammed. it had a 990 pro sticker, and in the task manager, it shows as an SSD 2TB, it ran fine at start after installing Windows and drivers and after a while speed went to 2 MB read/write, even slower than a USB flash drive, I was confused for days, I reinstalled windows 3 times and in start it runs good and even it shows 1500mb R/W speeds and after a while it just slows downs, it even has 100%health and performance. and now it's just sitting. I peeled the sticker from it and it just has a controller and 2 memory chips and that's it, nothing else, one side of the SSD is clearly flat, with no capacitor or anything else.
Great thanks for this video! I've personally seen this "1080 PRO" scam before. That's how I recognized this as scam: by looking at pictures. There is no mention of "SAMSUNG" anywhere on the product, and nowhere in the lot description. While genuine Samsung products have word "SAMSUNG" clearly written on them. So technically it's not even scam.
I will say Samsung software for SSD is really nice, but it's not worth the price difference. I agree that the Acer Predator is the best value SSD hands down. If people REALLY want the best SSD you can get, they should look into SK Hynix Platinum. Costs the same as 980 or 990, and outperforms it still.
I can tell you why they're popular at least in my country (PH), they're the best value M.2 SSD that's readily available in and around PH and probably the entirety of Southeast Asia. The next most common one over here are Kingston M.2s which are like 40% cheaper but significantly slower.
I think it’s the accessibility of the Samsung NVMe drives that was the big seller point, I know that’s what it was for me. Every tech shop in my area I went into, there was always Samsung NVMe drives for sale. ‘They gotta be good if everybody’s selling them’ is the vibe i get
Love the content. My first PC and setup is your 400 € pure performance pc and couldn't be happier with it. I am also going to start flipping pc's. Very helpful information, this top tier content.👍😄
Usually people go with Samsung SSDs for their reliability. Of course there was the bugged firmware that was reported in 2023, but excluding that, they were reported to have close to a 0% failure rate.
Ive got a guy at work saying he brought one of these I immediately asked where he brought it, said Ali Express and attempted to defend it I just said he wasted his money before he tried to talk me into buying one too Im willing to bet its got bad chips or the controller has been flashed with firmware misreporting the storage, or both
It is a popular choice because Samsung is an established brand and the 970 - 990 SSDs are genuinely good quality, albeit 980/990 are pretty overkill for gaming. A 970 is still perfectly suitable.
I have an explanation why I bought the 990 pro, I had points from a gas station that sells various things for these points in the online store, and for me this 1TB Samsung drive was as expensive as the LEXAR NM620, so I think it was a good deal
yo Zach for my mid range $1200 pc build, should I use a Western Digital SN770 or a acer Predator GM7000 right now the sn770 is $140 and has speeds up to 5000 mb/s and the gm7000 is $130 and has speeds up to 7000 mb/s with dRAM which one do i choose?
Could we get a video on other NVME drives you'd reccomend? I only picked Samsung 990 because i knew i could trust it to be a good quality item, but im still new to PC gaming and don't know all the other brands I can trust.
Brought one, waited it to arrive and send it back, just to make those guys pay for the delivery fees and make them lose some money. Don't know if this is the best course of action, but i had some money to spare and this was it.
I got a new on sale 980 Pro 2TB w/ heatsink about a year ago for I think ~$80-90. I don't remember exactly, but in that ballpark. It was a good deal on a quality SSD, no complaints.
This is why I've been buying directly from the companies. Samsung, msi, ect. I buy it all from them directly. Did the same thing with my ps5 when they first came out. Bought it directly from playstation. Sure I might pay a few extra bucks, but at least i know I'm not getting scammed.
I was buying a drive on aliexpress the other week and saw this and started laughing shit was so funny I almost wanted to buy it to see what it was. I shop on aliexpress bc I work in IT and have a very strong knowledge of what is and what isn’t a scam, and am good at spotting well designed products, even if they are Chinese. I don’t make a lot of money as I’m in college rn but aliexpress helps me save money, bought 32gb of hyperx 3600mhz ram for $80 and a 5700X3D for $190
Hey I bought a 990 Pro and I am no noob. That said the price of a 990 Pro is crazy right now. I only got one because there was a good sale at Micro Center and managed to snag a 1TB 990 Pro last year for like $80 or $90 to be my primary drive. Then I grabbed a couple of TeamGroup drives for my storage drives.
I built a new pc, ryzen 5600, rx550 4gb (all i could afford), nzxt h5 flow, msi b450,1tb kingston ssd, 16gb viper ddr4, be quiet cpu cooler, evga 600w psu
I think the samsung's are so popular among beginners is due to the fact that samsung is a known brand, especially compared to brands like crucial or western digital, so they are familiar and feel okay buying from them
Zach you should make like a long video on how to build a pc because it would be very useful for beginners. U can probably use some of ur shorts that talk about someone making a mistake and then in the video you talk about it so that we know that We shouldn’t do this. I know this is a long comment but yeah. You can change the video however you like I’m just giving you an idea that I would like 👍
yeah had a feeling 1080 wasnt a thing, i think aliexpress also do 990 that arent real samsung 990's as well, there are plenty of other brands that are just as good or sometimes better.

Those only have 120GB, bought one for test and sent it back, took 3 weeks to have my money back after I bought
Beginners might prefer to buy the Samsung ssds just because they recognize and trust the brand
Yeah. You CAN trash Ali Express when it comes to drives. Pretty much EVERY drive on the site is a scam/fake/false storage size etc…
I see this with microSD cards too. You put it in and it tricks the system into thinking it has a terabyte when it’s really way less.
Maybe i start a war but you don't need anything faster than budget gen 3 drive for gaming only
I don't know. DirectStorage is starting to be implemented into games.
That is a fair point. Certainly good all things considered. If you're doing content stuff or whatever else, maaaaybe better SSD's might.
Brother I don't even know what that means. What is a budget gen 3 drive?

@@gentlemanjones8469just like processors ssds also have gens

My personal favourite is the Kingston Fury Renegade SSD. It's so underrated

Another thing with a lot of aliexpress m.2 is that they're sold as NVMe when in reality they're just mini-sata

The reason why beginners buy expensive Samsung NVMe drives is because noobs buy by brand while experts buy by spec.
