Guide For Buying The Best SSD
Buying an SSD is the cheapest and most affordable thing that can be done to speed up your computer. Because hard disks are always the slowest part of a computer, and computers that have only hard disks are virtually devoid of multi-tasking capabilities, having an SSD can significantly improve overall system performance.
Buying an SSD, Hard disks are like a bottleneck. Hard on the system, it prevents the use of all the CPU and RAM power. Instead, thanks to SSD, it goes faster than the simplest operations, such as opening various tabs in the browser, to simultaneous read and write operations under the heaviest renderings.
With SSD, Copy / Paste speeds can be up to tens of times faster than hard disks. Rendering projects are more than 30 percent faster thanks to SSD, SSD files are up to tens of times faster than hard disks, and computer boot speed can be achieved in just a few seconds thanks to SSD.
In gaming, thanks to SSD, the loading speed of the game steps and map reading are several times faster than the hard disk, and the speed of installing the operating system on SSD can be reduced to even less than 10 minutes.
No matter how powerful and advanced your CPU or graphics card is, as long as your computer does not have SSD, you can never use it to its full potential.
So everyone should buy SSD. Buy SSDs for PCs, laptops, and even your console for a faster and more powerful system. It does not matter if your computer or laptop is old, it does not matter if your system port is SATA II, only thanks to SSD, its speed will be multiplied.
For more information on SSDs, you can refer to the article SSDs in terms of connection type .
Now let’s go to the offer to buy an SSD on the website of Hardware Magazine. We have classified the buying guide of the best available SSDs based on the active brands in the Iranian market. So the initial categorization by brand is in alphabetical order, and then in each category, we categorized our offers based on the strength, and ability of the SSDs.
For example, our first offer is the strongest product of that brand in the Iranian market, and our last offer is the weakest part of that brand.
SSD is the only component whose best model is important for installing operating systems and applications, and its weakest models are important because SSD can also be used as an archive.
That’s why we put weak but high-capacity SSDs on the agenda so that friends who are looking to use SSDs for archiving can compare the cheapest and most cost-effective options between different models of brands. To choose.
So our offers can cover the entire market, and our tips include all groups, and all users, from gamers, renderers and even server users to friends interested in archiving images, movies, music and apps.
Lastly, we have tried to provide you with a table of important components for judging the performance of an SSD. By comparing these components, which are explained below, you can buy your desired model, or by announcing your budget and usage of the system, as well as announcing your system specifications in the comments section, you can buy the best consulting option from us. Get.
Classification component: In this section, we classify SSDs based on their performance speed: High End category includes the most powerful high-speed and high-end models; Mainstream category includes models of medium speed but good price-performance ratio; Entry Level category includes relatively weak but bulky and cheap models
DRAM cache component: The presence of DRAM cache memory has a great effect on the fast performance of SSD. CSD-free SSDs generally have lower speeds in all their functions.
Sequential Read and Write Component: Sequential read and write speeds Most professional applications include rendering, file compilation, video conversion, and file transfer. During everyday use of the computer, a very small percentage of sequential reading and writing occurs.
Random read and write speed component: Random read and write speed, often denoted by IOPS, is the most important SSD speed factor for gamers and ordinary computer users.
This component is the number of data transfer operations per second, and the highest percentage of operations that users perform on the system includes the same random read and write. The higher the IOPS of an SSD, the faster it is in the real world experience.
Text life component: SSDs have a limited text life. As you write and write data to flash memory, the memory gradually wears out, and then the SSD’s ability to store data is lost. The longer the text, the longer the SSD will last.

Second suggestion:
SAMSUNG 870 EVO
The SSD 870Evo is Samsung’s latest product to replace the 860Evo. They are similar in terms of price, and in terms of speed, they are slightly improved in sequential writing and slightly weaker in incidental writing.
Anyway, our first suggestion is for gamer friends. 1Tra and above models are also a great choice for rendering purposes due to their good lifespan.

Fourth suggestion:
SAMSUNG 860 EVO M.2
The S.2 860Evo M.2 is technically almost identical to its 2.5-inch sibling, and could be a sensible choice for laptops whose M.2 port only supports SATA, but in Iran the price of this model It is offered very high, so its 2.5-inch model is much more economical.

Fifth suggestion:
SAMSUNG 870 QVO
Samsung has used cheap QLC memory in the SSD QVO, but because Samsung is a good manufacturer of memory, its QLC model parts are better than other brands. Many brands have also used QLC memory in a cache-free structure, but Samsung has used the best available cache for this low-cost model, DDR4 RAM, to deliver higher-than-class performance despite its lower price.
Slowly Many users who are looking to use SSDs for archiving or for bulky and affordable SSDs for their NAS devices will not find a better option than the 870Evo.
The only criticism that can be made of this drive is its short lifespan.

Second suggestion:
WESTERN DIGITAL GREEN SSD
Western Digital is a major brand in the field of hard drives, but in the field of SSD, it does not have many attractive products. In the Iranian market, SSD Western Green is apparently one of the most popular choices in the market, so much so that its counterfeit model can be found in abundance in the market.
In this way, they sell a nameless SSD with a box and a Western-like label instead. But do not worry too much, because the fake Western Green model is faster than the original model, so it can not be said that the friends who bought the fake Western Green model were not necessarily unlucky.
Either way, the original Western Green SSD uses the Silicon Motion SM2258XT controller and is slightly faster than the hard drive. We recommend using this model only for office / archival purposes.
This SSD is offered in two models, 2.5 inches and M.2 with the same specifications.
