  If you read reviews, seems like thermal management may be an issue for those NVMes that generate a lot of heat - still a bargain, but be forewarned…

    It's also important to note that NVMe drives run hot and that's completely normal. People only notice and complain because it's not inside their computer. A thermal pad would help.

    That means you have a VPN, something blocking your location or Starlink. At this rate I'll have to add it to every post.

      Supposedly, GST is not included. See what it shows at the checkout when you enter postage address.

    Add ?sourceType=562 at the end of the URL.

    I've noticed that some Aliexpress deals need a special url to get the deal price.

        You're on Aliexpress.us I think that is the reason.

          @BarginHunter: Which is why the link in the OP doesn't work for bchliu. They have a US IP address (likely from a VPN) and AliExpress is blocking them from seeing the deal. AliExpress has regional deals and sites, i.e. anything Pokemon/Nintendo related is hidden on Japanese IPs.

            @Clear: That makes sense, thanks for the info.

  Can I fit a regular SSD and connect it all up to a tv?

  I'm not sure what the benefits are of having a HDMI port, for me anyway

    Does your TV have usb c?

    This is more of a usb c dock for a computer with an inbuilt M.2 slot. So basically, if you have only one usb c port on your computer, you can use it for a Dock and fast external storage at the same time.

      No just USB 2a I think, plays media files using that connection

        It's a waste of money getting this for just the TV. You can get USB enclosure for NVMe SSD cheaper and some of them have USB-A and USB-C connectors (though for quite a number of them, USB-A will drop speed to USB 3.0/3.2 gen 1, instead of gen 2), but for your usage, it is still overkill.

        MSY used to sell this USB-A/3.0 to SATA adapter for $3, but now it is back to $9. SATA adapters and enclosures, when discounted, are a lot cheaper.

        If you do get this 8 in 1, you will need a USB-C to USB-A converter. Quite a lot of cheap ones claim to be USB 3.0 but are actually USB 2.0.

  Mine arrived and it seems to drop connection to the computer every couple of minutes 😞 Using it mainly for the SD card slot and it's not very reliable (perhaps faulty?)

    Turns out it was faulty. Refunded
