      So this means it won't be a good option for upgrading old systems. No d ram can result in the system that's actually slower than some hard disks for large file copying.

        It uses HMB, same as the NM790 for example

          Which is why I said they aren't really suitable for old computers that don't support HMB.

        How many people with old systems where a 500GB harddrive is an upgrade are doing a lot of large file copying?

          You would be surprised. Notebook with movies for kid on holidays. Photos or movies being backed up. It is amazing how slow these drives get just copying 5GB of large files.

    • FujinShu on 04/10/2024 - 17:10

      At least it's for items 500g and less, so you can buy a LOT of these and still pay lesser shipping rates, since these SSDs are as light as a feather.
      And then resell them later on for a dollar more and make easy bank.

      • bindok on 04/10/2024 - 18:52

    Wow, are SSDs now finally cheaper than HDDs? How much does a 500GB HDD sell for? Probably more than this.

      Absolutely not lol. 500gb hard drive would cost more purely because all the components.

      SSD aren’t even remotely close to beating the cost per/tb of hard drives yet for any relevant storage sizes for today.

      • SpicyStew on 03/10/2024 - 17:37

        why this one?

        • gromit on 03/10/2024 - 18:28
          +1

          it really doesn't. if you were buying a HDD you would be getting 4 or 8TB as a minimum, you can easily get 4TB drive for around $120 or so (cheaper on sales) and 8TB for $200. so that makes both 4TB and 8TB drives half the price per TB of this SSD.

    HP EX900 500GB SSD (rated 200TBW), there are multiple reviews available. Below is a quick summary based mostly on 2 reviews.

    • HP Custom SMI SM2263XT (4 channels; HMB / DRAMless)
    • Micron / FortisFlash B17A 64L TLC
    • pSLC cache: ~12% (so 60GB maximum when the SSD is completely empty, once the SSD is written over 80%, it is likely no to little pSLC cache available)
    • pSLC cache max sequential write speed: 1580 MB/s, TLC write speed: ~200MB/s, foldback write (SSD must re-write data previously written in SLC as TLC and there is still new data coming in to be written at the same time): no info (no reviewer did that test, but my guess is 100MB/s or lower)

    ATTO
    CrystalDiskMark

    Subjective view: typical OEM PCIe gen 3 x4 SSD, designed to be cost effective; old TLC NAND and subpar in today's standard (but then again, inferior grade TLC is still better QLC). If you live in WA and can pick up, you could consider it. If you want a reason to resist getting one, Centrecom did sell low end PCI gen 4 x4 256GB SSDs for $5 each (but technically, they were used).

    Review here:
    https://www.servethehome.com/hp-ex900-1tb-nvme-ssd-review

    Price is great but it's an old model made long before anyone worked on DRAMless being any good. Sustained write falls to 30MB/s. It's going to be slow and painful to copy anything large to this drive.

  • Treasurehunter on 04/10/2024 - 13:06

    Would these be any good for my Synology DS920?

    • netsurfer on 04/10/2024 - 14:29

      Get a better SSD for that NAS.

      • cristobaljamesy on 04/10/2024 - 15:16

        I know it has a couple slots for them but unsure if something like this would actually help with Plex

        • netsurfer on 04/10/2024 - 15:43

          Synology's official recommendation is an enterprise grade SSD with high endurance and high IOPs for random operations. It's best to get an SSD with DRAM because those are better in handling lots of small files. If you look at the review syousef pointed out, you can see that under heavy testing, old gen DRAMless SSDs like this one has very inconsistent performance. Foldback write of 30MB/s is not good for NAS.

        • bdl on 05/10/2024 - 00:50
          +1

          Won't help with Plex but helps when you want to run docker containers or VMs on your 920 (you create another pool with the two nvme drives in mirror and install docker container and vm's on that pool).

          https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B082BWY2C2 - I run two of these mirrored on my DS920 and they work fine.

          I also run this script to ensure they are supported: https://github.com/007revad/Synology_HDD_db
