Garbage Collection question - will a modern drive (850evo) in something that doesn't support TRIM do its own maintenance when the machine's idle?

Was the Spectre mitigation performance hit ever fixed for NVME?

Amazon UK has 2TB MX500s for £163 (about £50 off). Only in "frustration free packaging"

Anything I should worry about if I plunk down for a 1TB Kingston A2000?

Ah, didn't notice that. SX8200 Pro it is, then!

Has that stupid chia shite died off yet, or are drive prices still inflated?

So, are there any brands not doing component switcheroos?

Smyths (the toy shop) have marked down the 1TB "Surefire Gaming Bunker SSD" to £40. Picked one up on the theory that if it's me , it'll be a fast usb stick for my girlfriend to distribute videos of she takes of folks playing music, if it's decent, it might be a candidate to replace the HDD in her PC. Shucked, it's a Verbatim Vi550, which apparently is a DRAM-less drive running a Phision S11 and 3d TLC. ed: for anyone who desperately wants to know: code: OEM'd by whoever makes Gigabyte's drives, it looks like. Ed: oooooooh. Okay. This is NOT something you want your system running on directly. Unknown if caused by DRAM or controller issues, but there's a known issue that can rarely end up with the controller going into panic mode and reporting the drive as "SATAFIRM S11". Looks like the only way to drag it back to reality causes data to be wiped. Plan B it is! Set the thing up with primocache in-front of the HDD. No data at risk, major speed gain.

4TN sn850x is down to £244.99 on Amazon UK (-71%) which is basically in-line with the lowest it’s ever been.

Is there any way to make things easier if I’m looking to pull the contents of a couple of drives onto a single one? Even if it’s fairly straightforward to pull anything from Steam across nowadays, I’ve realised there’s a ton of shortcuts to things and stuff like emulators with “d:\blah\things\discs” in their configs.

I’ve just taken a punt on a Kingspec Sata drive off AliExpress for a Raspberry Pi. I’ll see if I can coax it into coughing up any info on its controller, flash etc when it arrives.
