Slow but cheap SSD, 5 years warranty, 1600TBW if you believe the advertising & good reviews on Amazon.
I also grabbed this off Amazon to go with it: https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B08WL3LQTC/ref=ppx_yo_d…

What a world we live in where >2GB/sec read/write is considered "slow"
A world where we have 7GB+ r/w speeds
What a time to be alive!
for video editing in 4k to 8k yes
For gaming no.
For PS5 and PC DirectStorage it will be too slow
yeah I was talking about the 2gb/ speeds being too slow lol not the 7gb. I meant to say the 2gbps ones aren't good for 4k to 8k video editing but its fine for gaming.
I play chess, snake, minesweeper, frogger, wordle, …
I haven't seen any noticable difference in gaming performance for years.
pretty sure all you need is a phone for that don't even need a PC.
The specified speed is a maximum. Unlikely to reach and even less likely to sustain, particularly with writes
I blame Elon
2500 read/2100 write for anyone interested
Anyone know if it's TLC, MLC, or QLC?
This seems dramless, wouldn't the crucial p1 be a better choice? Good micron nand with dram for basically the same price?
or Kingston A2000
A2000 is the sweet spot for value in an SSD
Yeah not a bad SSD 600TBW
Actually yeah let me retcon that, your suggestion is better and on a more even footing with this gigabyte. A smidge more expensive than the p1 I think but definitely better bang for buck.
I went with this one because of high endurance as well as 5 years warranty (p1 also has 5 years lower TBW)
Check out the 1 star reviews on Amazon. One person hit 58% remaining life at only 154 TBW. So the 1600TBW seems untrue.
Could be a bad SSD even if it fails Gigabyte have to give you a new 1 (obviously have to factor in data loss ). I'm not using this drive to store important data.
Have a laptop with a spare nvme sslot. Would anyone this as a second storage drive where the data changes a lot? Or will they die quickly with a lot of read and writes and constantly changing data?
I learnt this neat calculation from another user recently.
Works out to be $120 for a 1TB.
For the brand, size, price and warranty not to shabby but not one that would buy for speed, bump lolz 👍😁
Hi, im new to this M.2 nvme game and don’t understand the differences.. what’s a good 1TB option that will be used in a Thunderbolt 3 enclosure? Gonna use it to add store for a M1 Mac Mini

Here is a pretty good list to get you started.
Just filter by interface to be x4 PCIe 3.0/NVMe or x4 PCIe 4.0/NVMe, capacity to your desired range, and DRAM to yes, then just pick a brand/model and be on the look out on ozbargain.
is there a 2tb version?
