Oh so sneaky indeed. The article is pretty consistent for one of them (let's call it X). Other sources of information point another similar (Y). Going with the fact it has DRAM I think it's possible it's Y. and not the one quoted by Guru3d (X) as there is no point in putting the controller that doesn't require DRAM and also putting DRAM there when the DRAM would be the part they cut for cost saving. I think I answered the survey wrong but I also think it's correct if I go with the article. Good luck to all! I learned something from the investigation for the survey. Edit: switched from "option" based description to "X/Y" to try not to confuse anyone as I was not referring to actual options in the survey.

Damn, I wish I read your comment before I answered. I'm 99% sure I got it wrong. I recently got a Crucial 250GB but you can never have enough of them sweet SSD GBs. Oh well, good luck to you guys.

I don't see what's sneaky about it. Either you follow what was written in the article or none of the answers are right. EDIT: Though, there is 1 tiny piece of information I found that is contradictory, once looking at the datasheets.

These are the best type of competitions. No nonsense hunting for images in 30 pages articles! Good luck everyone!

I'm using three MX500 SSD's in my main rig and they are really powerful and fast. 5 years warranty is also nice. I would gladly use one more in my laptop though so I'm going to try my luck. Thanks for the chance! 🙂

I forgot I had adblocker on your site. Will be Disabling it since you're one of the best tech sites for many many years. Merry Christmas from America and thanks for all your good work and putting your readers first when it comes to questions with benchmarks.

Man, for sure I failed to answer correctly on this one. Meh, nevertheless, thanks Guru3D for the morning adrenalin rush, my morning coffee taste best when I have a Guru3D contest to solve.

As far as I'm concerned, you shouldn't have adblock enabled by default for any site.

Isn't it obvious? It's basically a mild form of piracy.
Tufaann:

Some websites use really annoying type of ads tho, 18+ ads with sounds & popups that want you to confirm some scam credentials etc haha. I always disable adblock for websites i frequently visit which just use google adsense or their own banners. It's always nice to have the plugin for those ad spammers out there. But definitely should be disabled on Guru3D, Hilbert worked hard for many years to keep the website alive and kept bringing us content every single week.
Sure, I know of a few websites that have obnoxious ads like that, but if they're willing to make their default user experience so unbearable, they're probably sellouts and very rarely are they worth my time. Guru3D has always been good about avoiding obnoxious ads.

Yes you should, Adverts are the most common way to get infected by a browse by attack these days. As for this comp, i actually just bought my 5th Crucial SSD, an MX500 2TB.

Guys, I completed the form along with my name, address etc. Is it worldwide; because I live in Northern Europe ( Greece ). It would be good to know for future reference. Thank you in advance. P.S. Just got a Samsung 860 EVO 500GB. My other 2 SSDs are 850 EVO ( 250 & 500GB ). I trust Samsung blindly, but this is a great case to start trusting other brands, too. Meanwhile clean installation of Windows 10 1809 without POST which I set it to 1 sec, boot times vary from 3,8 to 4 seconds. Never more. Exceptional SSDs. Of course the fact that I got an i5 8500 and a Z390 M/B play a role, too, but anyway. Before I've had around 7 secs. An other fact, never ever again magnetic spinning disk in my machine; since I got my first SSD. At that time the best upgrade one could do; and what a difference. Not only the considerably less power consumption, but the access time and SATA IIII full speed, too. Now one more Samsung 970 EVO NVMe and I'm done. 1,75TB is more than enough for me. My M/B has coolers, too for the NVMe SSDs. Cool aφ.
