    $25 for 120 is nuts, though it's almost too small to use unless it's purely for distro

      They're always good for an OS drive.

    • Ryanek on 14/10/2019 - 10:54

      Pair it with an SSD Enclosure and you have a fast portable HD.

        When your homies are comparing their USB stick sizes and you slap this bad boy down.

        No this GREEN drive is horrendously slow. Great price, but found my old 5400rpm hard drive was faster for sustained reads\writes.

          Not sure why o was negged. I have the 512gb M.2 and regret it.
          Using it now for data only and a 6 year old 2.5 sata drive from a Lenovo t40 laptop as boot and operating system
          As I said great price., but the old laptop drive kills this for speed.

      distro

      time to upgrade to windows

  • lzwdavid on 14/10/2019 - 10:33

    Is there bigger size on sale? That’s what’s she asked…

    • Clear on 14/10/2019 - 10:34

      Doesn't look like it. Though if you're after a PCIe M.2 then this is a good deal.

        1tb under $100 for a old style is all i want lol

  • isthisreallife22 on 14/10/2019 - 11:18

    Hmm not on compatibility list for synology but at this price almost seems worth having a go. Has anyone tried this?

      SATA SSDs are unlikely to be supported to be SSD cache.

      • chutibuti on 14/10/2019 - 11:36

        I tried SATA on my DS918+, no luck

    • Clear on 14/10/2019 - 11:34

      Compatible with other models so hopefully it shouldn't be an issue.

      • rookie317 on 14/10/2019 - 11:40

        Yes the adapter will work for both SATA and NVMe

  • pacificstorm on 14/10/2019 - 11:40

    Any deals and what has been the cheapest (so far) for a 1TB M.2? Thanks.

  • AlGC on 14/10/2019 - 12:15

    Thanks OP!
    Does anyone know if there is an enclosure that has a USB C connection, without having to use an adapter from USB A to C for my MacBook Air.
    Really appreciate any feedback.
    :-)

      I bought this one and this. The quality of the first one is much better than the second one， but the second one is much smaller. See here.

      • AlGC on 15/10/2019 - 08:51

        Thanks very much for the links :-)

  • Viospeed on 14/10/2019 - 12:20

    Keep in mind with SSDs they have limited write cycles and the smaller the drive the less write cycles it can do.

    • TilacVIP on 14/10/2019 - 13:11

      Even so, unlikely people buying a 120GB SSD for $25 will be heavy users of data transfer. Even then you'd still get quite a few years use before you reached the 70TB (or thereabout) write life cycle on these smaller drives

  • [Deactivated] on 14/10/2019 - 14:05

    Good price, but the GREEN drive is horribly slow.

  • siuol on 14/10/2019 - 14:55

    Should be perfect for running Raspbian. However check who the seller is.

    • Jxdos on 15/10/2019 - 12:06

      First time hearing the use of raspbian os outside of raspberry pi's… Surely there are better os' for old laptops.

      • siuol on 15/10/2019 - 13:23

        microSD is not the only way to run OS in raspberry pi. A usb to M.2 adapter running this on pi will be faster than microSD

        • Jxdos on 15/10/2019 - 15:25

          I see. Why RPI if you're after speed? Lol

  • Empiresearth on 14/10/2019 - 15:39

    I lost my WD element power cable, is it worth buying this or look for cable.

  • gorge on 14/10/2019 - 22:46

    should i buy 3 of those for $75 since i have 3 spare m2 slots?

    • CalmLemons on 14/10/2019 - 23:09

      how do you have 3 spare m2 slots on your motherboard????

      • gorge on 14/10/2019 - 23:10

        it has 3 slots to begin with. But i'm using 1 of them and i also have an unused pci adapter
