EDIT: Removed Unknown…

Reviews on Amazon ($133) are good. For a non-critical drive, a bargain.

    PNY is not an unknown brand, it is very well established as a entry level cheapo memory maker.

    • boxall on 02/02/2021 - 16:50

      Oops. Unknown by me. Even better value then.

    • [Deactivated] on 02/02/2021 - 16:50

      They’re probably on par with Lexar.. give or take

    high failure rate at around 1 year - buyer beware

      Hence why I said for non-critical storage.

        • boxall on 02/02/2021 - 17:08

          No not at all. Just assumed based on the price I wouldn't put critical data on it.

            @boxall: cheap is not an indicator of quality.

              @petry: Pretty sure it’s more applicable in the sense that:
              Expensive items are not an indicator of quality.

    • Toffcuz on 02/02/2021 - 16:55

      why does it have a high failure rate?

    • FireRunner on 02/02/2021 - 17:00

      Is this from personal experience or reviews?

      • petry on 02/02/2021 - 17:07

        pny had 2 tiers of ssd's good and cheap.

        The good had longevity. Newer drives using cheaper tech are more of the cheap variety, and continue to be very variable with a cross section of reviews noting high failure rates at around 12 months.

        I stopped using pny when I couldn't get the good drives cheap anymore. Can't be bothered with the hassle, or messing people around. Life's 2 short.

          Fair enough. I’m risking it for $75. It does have 3 year warranty but I’m guessing they aren’t going to make it easy

          Amazon reviews must all be wrong:

          https://www.amazon.com.au/PNY-Solid-State-Drive-960GB/dp/B07…

          7209 of them.

            @boxall: Well, no. Lots of reviewers get the drive, install windows/whatever on it, and say "yep fast system 5 stars" and that's it, so a lot of the reviews aren't relevant to life of the drive.

            There are a bunch of reviews dealing with exactly this 'short life' issue. I mean it's a cheap drive, but warning people that ensuring a good backup is in place quite quickly is sensible.

      fail where it ends up in the bin or you simply just format and re download your steam library overnight?

    Would make an excellent portable SSD with an enclosure.

    the external one is still in stock at 99 if anyone interested:

    Probably out of stock soon though.

      Seems they have a few PNY SSD deals, both internal and external though it looks like the OP’s deal was the best value. 480GB for $39 is pretty good

        Wow that's a nice find as well. Assumed OP was a pricing error intended for the 480GB but if not these are pretty incredible

  • boxall on 02/02/2021 - 17:08

    WOW! Wonder if it was a pricing error??? TIme will tell.

    I have this only…

      Might have been a pricing error but I reckon it was a clearance sale. Put in an order so hopefully it does go through

    • FireRunner on 03/02/2021 - 15:00

      Mine got shipped today

      • boxall on 03/02/2021 - 15:04

        Mine is close looking at their web site. Siting in "completed":
