I was trying to upgrade my dad`s old laptop, spot on this sweet one, cheaper than a 1TB 2.5" HDD, lol.
ordered one to collect after work.
Also noticed, can join lucky draw as well.

ADATA 1TB SSD, Legend 710, M.2 2280 NVMe PCIe 3.0, Read up to 2,400MB/s, Write up to 1,000MB/s, Random 4K R/W 180K/150K IOPS, 1.5M Hours MTBF, 260TBW, Heatsink
Nope, you need a M.2 2230 (the shorter one)
TY
dont think so, this is a standard 2280 M.2, surface looks like using a much shorter one, maybe 2230.
TY
You'll be hard-pressed to find 2230 SSDs in retail stores so I would recommend looking at eBay.
I upgraded my Surface Pro 7+ with a 512GB SSD from eBay - works like a dream.
Read up to 2,400MB/s, Write up to 1,000MB/s
$65 is a reasonable price. With even the good gen3 SSDs (3500/3000 MB/s) coming down to well under $100 the price of the slow ones like this one needed to come down to this level. And even these are a lot faster than a HDD.
The 260TBW endurance seems very low? The Kingston A2000 500GB has 300TBW and I've already chewed through 46 of those in 2 years.
wow that's pretty heavy usage, you using it for torrent/media storage?
I use it to store and test multiple VMs but even then the usage seems much heavier than I would've expected. Every VM installation + removal takes up around 40-50GB of data and I do it probably once a week max.
Have you heard of thin provisioning?
@UrbanLegend: There's plenty of use cases where 260TBW is more than enough. Myself, I wouldn't buy this anyway because it costs peanuts to move up to a significantly higher TBW option that'll allow more flexibility in how it might be repurposed in the future.
Chewed up 46 nvme drives in 2 two years by just running some VMs?
Bloody hell, I'm running proxmox with a bunch of LXC's and some VMs on an old 256gb Sammy nvme, I was expecting it to last a few years…
What the heck have you been hammering those drives with? 24/7 DD write tests?
I assume he meant 46/300 TBW, not 46 drives.
Lol, facepalm :)
Reading your added comments, your use case appears to be relatively non-standard. I've had an Evo 850 1TB chugging away in my daily driver since around July 2016 that is currently sitting at 60TBW.
I don't think 260TBW @ $65 is gonna be a sticking point for run-of-the-mill users.
Indeed, the 260TBW for a 1TB drive sets off all my alarm.
I think if you get your dad to save all his files in the cloud then nothing to worry about.
Is this a good option to use for external enclosure and use as back up hdd? Low read and write usage in my case as it’s to back up old files only
I wouldn't use a SSD as long-term external backup, they can lose data if not given power every once in a while?
Yes the memory cells lose charge.
Would this work in a NUC with Ubuntu running Plex/Jellyfin and PiHole?
The media is stored on the same drive, too.
performance wide is more than enough, but I think normal HDD is better way to back up old files for long time storage.
thanks, got one, even SN550 has 600 TBW and this is ok for the price
will this fit a surface pro 7 plus?
