  • This is QLC with 280GB SLC cache (when the SSD is empty so as the SSD is filled, that cache amount will reduce). For more info, read Tom's Hardware review.

    QLC write speed is 180MBps. My guess, based on a rough calculation, that's QLC write speed, not the folding write mode (which will be even slower). Basically, if you write close to 1.5GB or more in one go, you will eventually hit the folding write mode, my guess is that it will be half (or maybe even less) of 180MBps. Don't know when the folding write starts (you do get SLC and QLC write first). It's still way better than my el cheap WD Elements SE SSD 480GB, which is super slow in writes.

    While T7's TLC write speed is very ordinary, it is still ahead of QLC speed. Basically, T7 is better.

  • Paid less than this for a 4TB T7 Shield.

    4TB T7 Shield is cheaper $370.35 from Amazon US https://www.amazon.com.au/Portable-Resistant-Photographers-M…

    • Yes 4TB T7 Shield is a much better choice, it is a tier above both T7 and Crucial X8.

    Down to $139.96 & $319.42 for anyone following.
