Kingston vs Corsair

[GHOST]

I see that Corsair is more expensive is Kingston a good brand guys anyone use Kingston 2tb storage

Kingston SSDs are fine, the SATA ones are a little on the slow side and there are cheaper and faster options from China. For HDD, I think the BaraCuda is the main staple drive.

Nvme or ssd or hdd..?

For SSDs?
Kingston doesn't have any good SDD.

Corsair and Samsung are the way to go there.

The only Kingston SSD's I would recommend are the KC3000 or Fury Renegade, but they switch components on those too. I would avoid WD ssd's.

Most if not all Gen4 NVMe controllers have/had issues, so make sure you update the Firmware

What's so good about the Samsung ones? Everyone uses those but they just seem overpriced to me. What do you actually get for your money?

I really think most people (gamers/light processing work) wouldn't even notice the difference between 2 good SSD's (the best course is to research for any issues with specific SSD's in firmware or anything else) they are so fast these days, I would avoid SATA drives unless you require large amounts of storage, which kind of means you want to set up a external NAS with good redundancy.

Interesting replies 👍🏻

i dont think kingston has ever had a fast ssd

samsung atleast makes their own memory for theirs

[Rod]

Either are ok Crucial too but i prefer the latest Samsung drives.

[PaulKrawitz]

I always use Samsung for the SSDs.

man if you ever do data recovery you wont touch samsung with a 10 foot pole......from dead caps killing encrypted controllers to over heating issues samsung is very over rated......


everyone has issues but samsung has never been worth the coin....i keep using T force or Team Group SSD's without issues and Crucial is still making drives we dont see to many problems with.....even in saying these names ALL MAKERS HAVE PROBLEM LINES OF SSD'S and you should research everything before buying.....like the new 990 Samsungs having massive over heating issues......

3 companies make memory, Samsung, Hynix, and Micron and to be fair all 3 make good chips and you will have used all 3 at some point be it in SSD's or RAM, any branded SSD is usually somewhat decent because of this.

Kingston are fine just not in the super high end game.

This, wouldn't help without more details, OP. Kingston does have any good drives but those are for NVME. I used 2TB Fury Renegade NVME and I have no issues so far.

Yeah, seems no one knows why they recommend Samsung even though there is a 70% mark up over other brands. I don't think there's anything wrong with Samsung but you can get a crucial 2tb 6-7gb for the same price as a 1tb Samsung.
