They have redesigned the water connection for this generation so leaks, if any, should be a thing of the past. It's still a self sealing quick disconnect but has clips to keep it secure.Because, in my opinion it defeats the object of it being a laptop. with the water cooler it is no longer portable, apart from that I've seen YouTube tests where the magnetic coupling leaks with the slightest movement, I have no wish to have to deal with water on my desk especially around electrics.
Not out of stock, hasn't been released yet.I see they are out of stock anyway so I have time to ponder over it.![]()
They both have the same endurance (600TBW), so that's what normally would tip the balance, as if you're constantly writing large datasets to the drive it will 'wear out'...eventually.Just been looking over my order and I see I ordered the Corsair 1 tb ssd. There is also a Crucial 1 tb which is £70 more but twice as fast. I'm thinking that for my use case, Lora training, a faster drive might be advantageous.
What do you all think, has crucial got a good name in drives? will I notice the speed difference?
A decent gen4 SSD will be plenty (c.7000MB/s read), but there's no harm (other than the extra £70 from your wallet and extra heat they produce) of getting a newer gen5 SSD (14,000MB/s read). In a desktop I'd have no worries, but getting rid of heat in laptops is a bit more difficult...and they will slow down if they get too hot.Thanks TonyCarter, do I need a fast drive for windows?
