  Good deal.. these are also options.

  Both of these are sold on Amazon.au (not US) plus they are TLC VS QLC nand on the Crucial P1 :) twice the endurance lifespan and faster.

    any good 2TB options?

    lawyerz on 20/05/2020 - 15:33

    Interestingly, I'm looking for a new NVME since the Silicon Power one I bought died after 1 year of very light usage (total write/read about 1.5TB).

    Don't get the SP.

      The question, while appears normal, has an unintended technical flaw.

      Part 1: Yes - When checking storage size in operating system, OS reports in Gibibytes (GiB), not Gigabytes (GB).
      Part 2: Yes - Technically, if you use the term GB as in Gigabytes, then 500GB = 500GB (~= 465.66 GiB).

      OS may also reserve some space per partition for internal use. Some, if not most OSes, confusingly use the abbreviation GB, instead of GiB.

      For a detailed explanation, see my other comment below.

    ALL drives are advertised with their size counting 1mb as 1024kb :)

    But once the drive is formatted windows reads it as 1mb is 1mb lol so we always end up with a smaller drive

    ALWAYS!

      I think you mean the other way around. They advertise 1GB = 1000MB = 1000,000 KB = 1000,000,000 B. But the OS uses 1024 so you end up with "less" than the advertised capacity.

        You get 512GB's on the Silicon Power and Pioneer drives
        So it make up for the 12GB's you lose.. i think it still ends up as 498Gbs after formatting though.

          @vid_ghost: I don't understand that response. But you got it the wrong way 'round. Drive manufacturers advertise using a multiplier of 1000. OS uses 1024. So you buy an nG drive, but in your OS you get a capacity apparently less than n.

    Do you understand why a 500GB marketed drive isn't actually 500GB? it doesn't matter if its a spinning disk or ssd have a read of this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terabyte

    Don't get me wrong it still bothers me even with knowing why :)

    ***EDIT
    I was beaten to it :D

    netsurfer on 23/04/2020 - 00:40

    Storage device makers use terms such as Gigabytes, Terabytes (decimal) so 1, 1000, 1000000.
    Operating systems actually use Gibibytes (GiB), Tebibytes (TiB) (binary - multiples of 2's). As they are binary units, it goes 1, 2, 4, 8, 1024, … 536870912000 (500 GiB in bytes) etc..

    So, when you check on your operating system, you see less (because they are measured differently). SSDs are more expensive so there is zero incentive for storage makers to start using Gibitytes or Tebibytes.

    Storage makers obviously would argue that it is the most general public pronounce and interpret the unit reported by OS incorrectly.

    Therefore, yes, a 500GB SSD does NOT give you 500GiB total storage space (500 GB ~= 465.66 GiB). And, yes 500GB (gigabytes) = 500 GB (gigabytes).

  A reasonably good deal for 2TB Pioneer NVMe, for $395 https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B07S69GZGS/ref=ppx_yo_d…

  Would trust it more than QLC based P1.

    superuser on 23/04/2020 - 04:17

    do they make slc or mlc for consumer anymore?

    • 

      DmytroP on 23/04/2020 - 09:06

      I have not seen any SLC recently, 970 Pro uses MLC if I remember correctly. Now you are lucky if it's not QLC.

  Bought two of this (P1 500GB) for $177 8 months ago. Feels like an investment.

  ItwasmeDIO on 23/04/2020 - 08:55

  Should be seeing more deals on the P1 and the 660p. Both of their successors have been announced and are shipping(665p and P2)
