No DRAM, so quite a bit worse, but still TLC so dosent aboslutely crap the bed in sequential (sub-HDD speeds) like crucial p1/p2 and co. Quite good at this price point.
Similar to the BX500, not MX500.
Pretty good price.
Good for cheap secondary storage
Any1 know how probable it is for amazon to price match this? I asked them to do it and they said they don't price match on customer requests
Amazon doesn't have any of their own stock so probably around 0%
If you’re associated with Mwave why do you want Amazon to price match?
FK my bad, I'm new to ozb, forgot to tick off that checkbox
That time I ticked it off but it still says associated 🤔
After Including shipping on Mwave it works out to be $73, just $9 less than on Amazon.
Maybe worth it if you prefer the faster delivery and easier returns/warranty.
Also this is more expensive than last month. Personally waiting for it to drop to the previous low of $76.99 on Amazon again.
I have one of these in a PS4 slim.. runs so much better, UI and loading screens are a significant improvement despite the non pro being SATA2
Thanks for this, was worried i would only see improvements on the pro
good price to upgrade you pre 2015 hdd laptop
Just ordered 2 for my PC, I always run low on storage and for $120 - this is going to be great for some more secondary storage
Got this the last time it went on sale for a similar price not too long back. Benchmarks aside, this thing holds its own. I've replaced an ageing MX500 with this while Crucial process my warranty claim, and haven't noticed an iota of difference (this is my primary game drive). Can't comment on longevity obviously.
Is this any good for installing games on or purely as a storage device?
Using it as my primary game drive right now. No complaints.
Good for both, only slows down when you put large files on it.
"Usually leaves warehouse in 10+ business days" - don't expect to get this quick based on this info on product page.
Is this drive comparable with crucial mx300 series? running low on ssd space
Cheap but unfortunately I can't stomach the $14.95 shipping to me :-(
Yeah, it's more expensive than AusPost flat rate which is available to any chump.
I had a $14.95 StarTrack rate and a $9.95 AusPost eParcel rate, still a pretty crap deal for eParcel (Metro Mel)
Is this drive comparable or good enough for Tesla Model 3 or Y with external enclosure ?
You certainly won't be able to travel as far or as quickly in one of these even with an external enclosure (unless the enclosure you're referring to is some other form of vehicle)… In all likelihood I expect you'd even have trouble sitting in one of these.
You assumed that "comparable" means comparable (autocorrected?), not compatible?
Maybe BYD would be better choice to save much more & stay ethical.Maybe BYD would be better choice to save much more & stay ethical.
Apparently mean Tweets are worse than actual Uyghur slave labor now 🙄
Depends on how much the cameras are writing to it I guess. Presumably Tesla are smart enough to avoid turning it into some sort of write amplification hellhole.
Although part of me doubts that you will get to the 500TBW/3 years warranty point anyway.
30 bucks shipping to NT lol
Damn limit 2.
Bought two of these and they were utter utter trash. Not stable enough to run a raspberry pi
Dont think they're intended for RPis. At this price likely to suite an old laptop with mechanical or smaller SSD.
I see that this drive isn't great, but I also wonder if it has to do with your SATA to USB converter's controller chip.
Need a 2TB for 120$ lol
Buy two. If one fails you still have 1TB instead of 2TB failing.
buy 2 raid0 = 118$/2tb :p
How does this SSD compare to the Crucial MX500?
