local store T_T, might try to return it.
Just means the princess will go down even furvvver
My favourite genre is princess' going down on NVMe drives.
100 TBW?
Typo on scorptec's website
It's actually 1000 TBW for the 2TB model. That thing should last for years if the rating is to be believed.
$100 from their ebay store, free shipping if you are ebay+
Cheers!
thanks guys, bought 1 from ebay!
Is this a decent SSD for just general use in a PC? Not looking for anything fancy, it's to store and access scenery and aircraft for X-Plane flight sim.
For a general drive, especially for some games, I'd spend a bit more or trade some size for performance - definitely so if you were going to put windows on the disk.
$69/tb - good middle ground (I'd do this one): https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/774851
$100/tb but mind bogglingly fast: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/774900
Would you even see a difference between this 2TB vs one of your links to a 1TB for general usage in windows or even gaming?
Unlikely, for reading files it would be unnoticeable. If you're writing heaps then maybe, but for downloading games you'd be bottlenecked by download speed anyways
@Wicko: Downloading isn't relevant, it's for loading assets into the GPU.
Windows will just feel a lot snappier, under a lot more use cases with the significantly higher iops.
Unless cost is a big factor, the extra $30/tb on what's a fairly important part of the computer I feel is worth it. I don't go top end, but something midrange like the 970 evo (or sn770 etc) is a good balance.
@incipient: Absolutely any SSD is plenty fast enough for loading game assets - there's barely any noticeable difference in games between the fastest and slowest drives.
Windows will just feel a lot snappier, under a lot more use cases with the significantly higher iops.
Windows will feel exactly the same - the days of waiting for IO are long gone. In "normal" use, the only thing you'll notice being faster with a faster drive are giant file copies from one fast SSD to another fast SSD.
Nope, there's barely any difference in boot and load times between the fastest and slowest drives.
@Nom: Oh, yeah, definitely less than expected. Matter of a few seconds really. Fairly inconsequential actually.

@incipient: The timed charts basically boil down to under a second between all the NVMe drives, and under a second between all the SATA drives.
Gaming just isn't a use case that needs fast storage.
Haven't seen a 970 EVO+ at $69/TB after the first TB, all time low for the 2TB is $90/TB.
Yep it's absolutely fine for normal use like this. Game load times barely change between the fastest and slowest drives 👍
Not bad for a drive of steam gaming.
It's not very fast for a so called gen 3 drive. It's more like PCI-e gen 2 SSD performance. It will still make a decent gaming drive.
This gives me a lot of hope for 2TB SATA SSDs!
wow, got it few days ago for 119
