Hi, I ask this because I see that evetech currently has a 2tb sata ssd on sale for 1300 rand, which is a lot cheaper than the competitor I'm looking at (rogueware 2tb). I've been able to look up a different series of Hikvision drives called the e100 series who have decent reviews, but not the "wave series" drives they advertise. Anyone have experience with these guys or is the rogueware drive a better choice?

I got a E2000 (NVMe) in 2019 seems to be going well, the SATA SSD's are budget with no DRAM. No experience with them, I'm sure they are pretty much the same as Apacer and all the 100's of brands of SSD's there are.
 
As long as it's TLC flash it should be acceptable for longevity, even without cache.
I wouldnt expect the best performance, but pretty good for a HDD replacement.
 
I actually got 1 today.... Funny enough I had a 1tb e100 that failed last year and I used the credit to buy this one (and was left with change).
Let's see... Don't really trust them
 
Any feedback on this? See the Wave SSDs are ridiculously cheap at Evetech. Worth getting for a low-activity SSD day-to-day HDD replacement?

Honestly
Samsung Pro
Samsung Evo Plus
Samsung Evo
WD Black (maybe)

Would be the only SSD I will touch.

Also SATA SSD is much slower than NVME

1. HDD about 130MBPS
2. SATA about 350-550MBPS
3. M2 SATA (3 pins) is about 700-1500MBPS
4. NVME 3000MBPS - 7000MBPS

Loot has Samsungs on sale now.
 
The Hikvision is cheap. Yes. Its about 100mbps slower in read and write than say a Samsung 850 SSD, although the box says its faster, real world tests shows its slower.
 
Do note if you keep documents you dont want to loose, storing them on an SSD is not an good option. As you cant recover from an SSD. Thus an external spin drive is better.

However if your system does allow for an NVME slot, go for that instead. its faster. Do note though that whatever you connect to that system if it uses the same BUS, it could slow down the main drive.
 
A little late to party... HIKVision SSD's are absolute garbage. Especially the Wave series. The reason for this is a thing called TRIM, which it doesn't do very well. So on an empty drive, you might get some impressive speeds when copying one zip file, but if you used this drive for gaming, you would run into constant lags and stuttering. I made the mistake of buying a cheap ssd myself, rather just spend R300 more and buy a proper SSD, HIKVision is a waste of money
