Reliable and cheap Gen 4 SSD. TLC NAND in use, better choice than Kingston NV2 or Crucial P3 Plus, which all used QLC. Based on current price, WD SN580 is cheaper while being better on reliability and performance.

I would recommend this based on the price if you're upgrading your PC for extra storage on a budget.

BTW, anyone knows what did Centre Com do? I just realized they are banned when I was posting this.

    I too am interested in what has happened…?

    900 TBW on this one. 600 TBW on the 1TB. Interesting you can double the capacity and get less writes.

      I note that this drive appears (at least, at this time), to have a quite sizable SLC cache compared to many other budget NVMe SSDs. (~340GB on the 1TB version)

      I suspect they might have just kept the same size cache on the 2TB version while bumping the remaining size, skewing the numbers somewhat? Is that how flash endurance works? Who knows.

        I bought a MSI M460 1TB recently and it is 600TBW, the 2TB is 1200TBW so not sure what is going on with WD.

      I mean, the rules are pretty clear.

    Thanks OP - I’m going to get one for my DS924+. Don’t need anything with super high TBW as it’s just for Docker containers and junk that I need regular access to. Backups and critical stuff can on on the spinning disks.

  • Shahw on 09/08/2024 - 15:59

    What’s the reliability of these? In terms of using them as backup drives, are they safe?

    • Namidairo on 09/08/2024 - 16:08

      I'm not even sure these have been out long enough to discern a pattern like that.

      Additionally, SSD as backup drives in theory need to be powered up every once in a while in order to retain their data. I say in theory as many people just leave them for years and not have issues, and one should be checking the viability of their backup media in addition to applying a 321 rule anyway.

    • Meteor Anarcom on 09/08/2024 - 16:13

      I will say they're safe, but not as safe as CMR HDDs. If you are looking for backup drives for important enterprise documents, HDDs will be better choices. These are tough enough for daily personal use.
      They use original TLC chips from Kioxia and SanDisk controller, which both are recognized as reliable.

    But Kingston NV2 was under $100 before.
