Hardware Bargains - Open Thine Wallet

What program do you use to check that?

I use hard disk sentinel

 

[PhireSide]

SSDLife, possibly?

Correct. Although it doesn't seem to play well with my m.2 Transcend

 

[Wasabee!]

TLC and VNAND are doing wonders for cost, although most are still on SATA interfaces. It would be nice to see more cheap high capacity drives being released on NVMe.

I suppose AMD+Intel need to start designing their chipsets and CPUs with more PCIe lanes and motherboard manufacturers need to provide more M.2 NVMe slots.

Is this an ssd discussion or a bargains thread?

Wish RAM prices would fall like SDD prices. The same RAM I bought almost 2 years ago is now 20% more expensive.

Per the ram exchange prices are suppose to fall 30% this quarter. Whether that translate to our retailers is another matter.

And SSD bargains discussion thread. Only thing on special lately.

I’d look at something bigger TBH. Yes these machines are made great but they also not made to run beyond your ordinary household size as frequently as your team will be running it.

I just use our office machine to compare we have a pretty awesome machine but even that thing needs to be serviced regularly and requires some upkeep. Think the worst thing would be splitting the price of this machine and then landing up with a half working machine most of the time.

Might be worth looking at a rental shared between the 15 of you. We had a trial unit from Miko a couple of years ago, but could not get enough people interested to share the cost.

looking for a Laptop that can handle CAD for my brother...

I'm thinking a refurbished i5 or i7 with 8GB ram should do the trick.

Any recommendations?

And also what price range is good

Thanks

What level of cad? Or what programs if you know?

I managed with an i3. But if it's more demanding stuff your gonna need a graphics card.

Don't buy that, those machines aren't designed for the kind of torture it'll be put through in an office environment.
