    Hope they send the listed model this time!

    Amazon UK woes

    Several times lured to receive a different (always lower capacity/value) model and packaging that has a different item SKU/label sticker adhered to the underside

      I had the exact same issue. Waited ages to get the wrong drive and then had to muck around sending it back. Wasn't going to risk trying again.

    • Rumbaar on 22/10/2022 - 12:25

      Yeah, I've been sent a 100% empty package that only had the picking slip in it, for an item I've order from Amazon UK. I think 50% of my orders from there have had issues.

    The trend is going down..down..down…
    Maybe wait for blackfriday for better deal…

    • deek on 22/10/2022 - 15:10

      I was thinking the same. I guess there's a glut in the market for NVRAM devices. Black Friday could be exactly the right timing.

    • RefusdClassification on 23/10/2022 - 03:51

      I wish the same was happening with electricity, rent, food…

  • LuslecGrace on 22/10/2022 - 11:29

    a question, i wonder why gen4 ssd's with heatsink are so popular? The price for a mere 4 TB is overkill. I know gen4 is better than gen 3 but still. would appreciate an answer

    • FireRunner on 22/10/2022 - 11:33

      I’m guessing Gen 4 runs hotter

      • LuslecGrace on 22/10/2022 - 12:03

        So ur saying most of the price is due to the added heatsink? Is 4tb gen4 just slightly more expensive than gen3 or more than just slightly?

        • FireRunner on 22/10/2022 - 12:07

          No, I mean the heatsink is usually included because Gen 4 runs hotter.
          Gen 4 is more newer and faster so it is considerably more expensive
          The heatsink isn't a big part of the price difference

    • Azro on 22/10/2022 - 11:36

      They are the only ones you can install in PS5. And supply of PS5's has finally improved. At least, this is my case and my perspective.

      • LuslecGrace on 22/10/2022 - 12:04

        So i assume that most wouldn't buy this and put it in their pc correct?

        • Azro on 22/10/2022 - 12:08
          +2

          They would if they do a lot of video editing. Otherwise, it’s overkill.

          • LuslecGrace on 22/10/2022 - 12:09

            @Azro: Ah now i see. Thanks for explaining!

          • gizmomelb on 22/10/2022 - 14:08

            @Azro: I do video editing as well as a lot of Excel and DB work so I find the SPEED loading large amounts of data is invaluable, though I only have a 2TB nvme SSD.

            Also doesn't hurt when I install my games on there so they load a lot faster. Bring on DX12 with the GPU decoding to speed things up even more.

    • Aureus on 22/10/2022 - 12:16

      This NVME is only a little bit more expensive then the cheapest 4TB NVME drive.

      You also pay extra for gen 4 because it is more expensive to produce, as they go faster they get hotter, so need a heatsink. Also more expensive drives have better endurance. EG this drive has 5100 TBW, while this cheaper drive has only 2400 TBW.

  • jedimaster on 22/10/2022 - 11:44

    why would you need one and not a HDD if only storing data?

    for applications where you need speed, isn't 1 or 2 TB SSD sufficient?

    • Tinqer on 22/10/2022 - 11:50
      +1

      Nice to have more for video editing. One big project could be a couple TB.

    • stimutacs on 22/10/2022 - 12:06
      +2

      Cameras throw an incredible amount of data around, both in terms of actual resolution of raw and shooting speed. If you have both stills and video going from an event, even just with a couple of cameras, you can easily be looking at 1-2tb of source files or more, that need to be viewed and culled/processed on a pc with a decent size screen. Even for what I do, which is usually a lot of high speed bird shooting and focus stacking macro work, I sometimes wish my 4tb 870evo was faster. If I was a professional with a deadline it would drive me nuts.

    • Aureus on 22/10/2022 - 12:18

      Sufficient for a lot of people, but not for everybody.

    • BarneyKB on 22/10/2022 - 12:18

      This can also fit in places you simply couldn't have a hdd

    • witheredcouch on 22/10/2022 - 13:22

      My storage drive is the single loudest thing in my PC, replacing that with a silent and faster drive would be lovely.

    • Beyond on 22/10/2022 - 14:40

      People's metadata for Plex can easily take up 500GB
      Software Applications will take up another 100-750GB
      A gamer could have a few TBs worth of content there.

      Most importantly though, the M.2 NVMe slots are far more limited than your normal SATA slots.
      I'd imagine that a majority of users who can use an NVMe in their build only have room for one.

    • RefusdClassification on 23/10/2022 - 03:57

      If you only play a few games at once, or just run a few applications like Photoshop, 1TB on a SSD is enough. Mechanical HDDs are fine for movies, photos, Isos, music files (CMR are preferable to shingled if you edit things, make a lot of additions and deletion). That said, it takes about 20 hours to copy everything from a 8 TB HDD, but it rarely needs to be done. Once I have made the initial backup, I use SyncBack free to make a one way mirror to the backup drive (much faster than copying everything again if you have only changed 100 GB of data).

  • Moostyle on 23/10/2022 - 07:22

    WOAH!!! Much better deal than the 4TB version without heatsink that I got for $786.61 and recently arrived

    OOS I believe can’t see it for this price anymore.

  • spoonmugen on 23/10/2022 - 08:26

    by the time i questioned if i needed it it when oos… oh well guess its 2tb for me

    • NotAnAudiophile on 23/10/2022 - 08:36

      You and me both. Probably an anomaly from Amazon UK.

    Anyone else who purchased this still waiting on even the payment getting processed? My order is still yet to be shipped :(

  • is it though on 05/11/2022 - 14:13

    Finally mine got shipped this morning

  • Matrix6 on 17/11/2022 - 15:46

    Mine finally arrived.
    I'm guessing there's no need to update the firmware on the SSD since the packaging says DOM:09/2022. Would I be correct in that?
