Craig I have used several of your recommendations including SSD and NVME drives. Solid. Thank you. Would you consider doing a video on wireless keyboards?

@craigneidel 2 месяца назад

I have a few videos out on keyboards if you search my channel. I'll see what I can do in the future. Thank you.

@bryans8656 2 месяца назад

I've used several of the brands you covered in builds and external drives and they've never given me a problem.

@craigneidel 2 месяца назад

Overall they are nice budget brands. Of course there are faster options but I'm all about saving a few $$ when I'm just doing light to med work.

@colt5189 27 дней назад

I still remember in the very early 2000's, the very first USB thumb drive I got was a Kingston 512MB. Some new computer shop were giving them away to the first 100 visitors. And I was blown away by having 512MB of storage. I still have/used that thumb drive. As I was used to having to carry around a pile of hard floppys at the time.

@craigneidel 25 дней назад

Yes, the storage has changed quite a bit from the early days. I had an Atari 800 with 48K but that was memory and you had to use a cassette tape or large floppy. Now a few TB in a drive the size of a stick of gum.

@rob.granger 2 месяца назад

Thanks!! I think I will try some of the WD Green for my mac backups, they are only going over usb3 anyway.

@craigneidel 2 месяца назад

Yes, those are nice drives for backing up data. The speed will only be as fast as the connection so no need to get anything faster. Thanks for watching.

@@craigneidel I took your advice on the Intel data center ssds, and built a truenas nas based on them. waiting for prices to come down a bit more to convert my old spinner nas to ssd. But I need a bunch of 4TB or 8TB drives and can't afford them yet :) Thanks again @craigneidel

@craigneidel 2 месяца назад

@@rob.granger nice and good luck with everything. We used those in data center for years so they should last for a long time.

thx for this video, but here in germany its to late^^ ive got timetech on my checklist a few months ago but they are hitting now the same prices as better known brands. is there any hope on the horizon that ssd prices going back to normal. my last ssd i bough for my self was the p300 at the beginning of 2023 and i paid 48 euro. and that was not the cheapest i also bought an 2tb sata from teamgroup for 75 bucks. and now we are getting closer to this price for 1tb. at the start of ssds i paid 80 bucks for 240gb sata ssd. if we hit that again, i guess ill quit building systems. bad gpu prices, bad mobo prices on b650 for am5 or b760 for the intel side and bad ssd prices.cant wait to see higher psu prices and cpu prices so i can close my store^^

@craigneidel 2 месяца назад

I know electronics are a bit more in Germany which is odd as food, housing, and other things are less. I have been to Germany now 9 times. I don't see the prices going down until at least 2025 so I think we are in a period of rising costs on the silicon. Timetech drives have worked good for me so far and yes, they used to be cheaper for sure. Thanks for watching.

@CantankerousDave Месяц назад

Check your local Staples and Walmart stores in person. I got a 2tb Samsung 990 Pro at Staples for $119.99 last month, along with a couple HP branded 512gb nvme drives for $14.99. They still have 1tb 2.5” ssds for $40-$60. And Walmart has been clearing out their solid state drives that are 1tb or less. Brands like WD Black, Blue, and PNY.

Thanks for the tip and for watching.

Hey Craig, is Kingston NV2 1TB a reliable SSD for a mid tier Windows laptop? I got this drive when it went on sale for $40USD and use in a external enclosure, my Windows laptop's are PCIe Gen 3 though..don't want to purchase any drive as prices have almost doubled from last year.. I am having 256gb in laptop, but only have this Kingston NV2 in hand, shall i upgrade with this?

@craigneidel 2 месяца назад

Yes those are fairly reliable and have good reviews. I'm only one case study but mine have worked great for me. I would check reviews of model to confirm.

@frazerweb 2 месяца назад

My next ssd was going to be the samsung 8tb as my all in one drive which I could have bought used last year for £220. Move forward to now the price new reached nearly £500. May look at a raid option as 8tb nvme are eye watering in price.

@craigneidel 2 месяца назад

Yeah, you could do Raid 1 or JBod to combine disks but increases chance of failure a little bit. I will be doing a video on a nice DAS enclosure witch has both 3.5" (also 2.5") and even 4 x M.2 slots so you can store quite a bit there. Keep an eye open for that video later this week.

@frazerweb 2 месяца назад

@craigneidel cool I watch out for that.

I don’t trust Amazon for products like these. I ordered 4 NVMe’s and two of the boxes were empty and a third unit was obviously damaged and a returned item. It took me several weeks to get this rectified. Amazon chose not to believe the customer and sent me around in circles dealing with customer reps based in India. They would promise to take care of the refund, but never follow through. Even though these units weigh almost nothing, the weight of the shipping box, as printed on the UPS label, showed that it was underweight if all four drives were present. Even with this data, I couldn’t get a refund. I escalated the issue, but still got the “Don’t worry, Mr. Carl - it’s all taken care of.” Only when I sent the entire thread of emails and chats to Jeff Bezo’s email address, did I finally get a refund. That was 6 years ago - maybe it’s better now. Anyway, I stick with B&H, a highly reputable company that stands behind everything they sell and ship.

@craigneidel Месяц назад

That was 6 years ago and I have used them many times without any issues on returns. I think they got quite a bit better on that.

@BreadAndGatorade Месяц назад

I went with Microcenter. They had a deal for $20 off when buying my cpu+storage. 7800x3d was same price as amazon. 990pro 4tb was $10 less than Amazon plus the additional discount when bundled. I bought the rest of my build on Amazon, including 7900xtx and everything arrived new and undamaged.

@craigneidel Месяц назад

Microcenter is a great place to buy computers.

@suekuan1540 2 месяца назад

Heard ssd nand drives is not as good for long term storage compared to a magnetic hard drive ...they need to be turned on every few years to ensure data integrity

@craigneidel Месяц назад

The last quite a few years for sure but I did mention for a few years is good. I normally backup to a spinning drive also for very long term backup - like over 5-7 years but the other drives should be fine for at least about that long according to the manufacturers and maybe even longer. Yes, powering them up once every year or two is good.

@CantankerousDave Месяц назад

I think it’s a few months, actually.

@craigneidel Месяц назад

Maybe, time will tell but with Ai they said the prices will stay high.

@colt5189 27 дней назад

I always just stick with well known name brand SSD's. Just not worth the risk of potentially losing data going with unknown or brand new companies.

@craigneidel 26 дней назад

Yeah, but I have had some name brands fail to. I would just read reviews and also from places like Tom's hardware etc. and trust all the data.

@colt5189 26 дней назад

@@craigneidel Yeah, though I think you have a lot less risk of failure going with name brand compared to unknown or new companies. Though I’ve never had an SSD fail.

@craigneidel 15 дней назад

Maybe, but at the end of the day some of the unknown brands are way more know in other parts of the world so normally they are pretty good.

@briankleinschmidt3664 2 месяца назад

I wouldn't buy the lowest price SSD for myself. Maybe as a gift for secret Santa. . .

@craigneidel 2 месяца назад

Some of these are actually great and I have used them for a very long time. I always tell people to just do your own research before buying.

@alfredg.m Месяц назад

Do you think ssd prices will go down in the near future?

@CantankerousDave Месяц назад

Nope. Prices are up because manufacturers deliberately cut production.

@craigneidel Месяц назад

I would say in a year but nothing soon.

@gunthervangijsel7859 2 месяца назад

What is it with you and SSD's.

@craigneidel 2 месяца назад

Why not, I like to look for what's on Sale. There is a ton of options out there so choose what you like to watch but I like discussing SSDs about once per month or more.
