This fire pit looks great for $80 seems better than the similar prices Bunnings one.
On the topic of sata ssds I can't believe their price is still higher than gen4 nvne
I'm stoked that these drives are starting to come right down, and this is a decent deal. But don't be fooled into believing the regular price is "$669"
Current price is around $370, umart currently have it for $299

Its hard to justify $255 for a QLC 2.5" SATA, when you can but a 4TB TLC NVME for the same price.
Are you referring to the 4TB TLC 3D Nand Silicon Power brand?
Lexar NM790, which I believe is still TLC NAND and not swapped to QLC. - https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/792769
It really depends on your specific situation, i.e., what slots/ports you have available.
Both my M.2 slots are already in use while 4 out of 8 SATA ports are free so for me it would be pretty easy to justify buying this over an M.2 drive.
Yes that's ok. But what I am saying is the price for these should be lower than nvme. I don't understand why an older technology is still this costly.
Can you put the M.2 drive is a SATA caddy and use it that way and still get the TLC advantage?
Depends on the type of M.2 drive I think. Someone please correct me if I have this wrong.
M.2 SATA?
Yes
M.2 NVMe (PCIe)?
No
The adapters don't exist for SATA to NVME.
Only miniSAS, so you need a miniSAS backplane/cage and caddies, connectors and an HBA that is reliable with NVME and the number of drives you want to connect. Everyone seems to do this using miniSAS-SAS3 backplanes, then SAS3-U.2 connectors, soa lot of the cost you have to foot is around the backplane, the connectors, and finally the HBA.
Icydock have great little NVME backplanes so you can cut out the caddies and the need for miniSAS, but the costs are high iirc
Both my M.2 slots are already in use
just use PCIe slots with cheap NVMe adapters
Good for a big steam drive
Any good deals on laptop SSDs m.2
Yep, they're posted every week.
yeah missed the samsung one
Grab the Lexar instead š That deal is still live.
What… I just purchased and they reduced the price by $20 a few minute later.
Im trying to cancel it now and buy at the cheaper rate.
Got a call from em saying they dropped the price, and are trying to cancel existing orders so that you can rebuy. Would reccomend putting through a cancellation if you haven't gotten the call.
omg someone buy me 3 ill pay you back <3
Are these type of drive good for sequential write backups via backup software?
Daily writes of a few hundred GB per day
Need more information.
Do you mean 200GB per day or 800GB per day ?
How are you getting the data to the drive - via 1Gb Ethernet ?
If your answers are 200GB and Yes, in that order, then this will probably just about work ok.
200gb and via direct onboard sata on the same computer.
If you only want to backup 200GB then you don't need a 4TB drive … but the smaller models have way smaller write cache, and for this reason they're inferior to the large models.
This drive will cope OK with a 200GB daily write, providing you keep some of the drive empty at all times. Don't fill it to 3.8GB and then keep overwriting 200GB.
Secondly if your backup is live and online in the same computer, it's not really a backup - any incident will probably affect the backup alongside the original data.
Tempted to grab one and wack it in an external enclosure and have all my games on it.
Thats what Im doing
It's not Tuesday but this deal is still going at this precise moment.
eBay Tuesday deals usually last until the following Tuesday, unless they run out of stock.
