My first post, so go easy on me if I left anything important out!!

Of all the computer part black friday deals I have seen, this is the best. 7400mbps read and 6500mbps write are good speeds, and with the coupon and free shipping this is a steal. Rated for 1024 TBW which seems decent enough.

Afaik teamgroup is reputable enough to be trusted, and this comes with a 5 year (LIMITED!) warranty which eases any data loss worries, seems that the warranty is based on the TBW period so it could be shorter if used a ton. I didn't look into this as this is going to be a backup drive for dual boot anyway, but recommend you do if using it as a main one.

Note Centre com charges a slight surcharge on card, but I avoided this by using afterpay. Bank transfer is also an option although cumbersome.

Kinda regret buying the ORICO O7000 off amazon BF deal now, I could have gotten 2 of these for less…

This is part of Black Friday / Cyber Monday deals for 2024

        Someone else who finds it funny. Why?

        Are you trying to make this funny to mask a possible shopping addiction?

      More than the deal, I think the sales pitch made me open my wallet, hopefully for him he is as convincing with the ladies

    • PainToad on 29/11/2024 - 09:39

      Why is being irresponsible and wasting money funny?

      • PainToad on 29/11/2024 - 09:42

        It’s funny because we can afford it? Where’s the joke?

        What do you gain for buying things for no reason? Wasteful of your money and the environment.

            @psylnser: Where did I say I’m struggling financially?

            People living paycheque to paycheque wasting their money on crap they don’t need are more likely to be financially struggling, especially when they come to retirement age.

    Been meaning to expand my PS5 storage for 4 years now. Will this one do?

  • EpicSpaceLord on 29/11/2024 - 09:30

    Wonder if this no good for system drive. Looks like has no DRAM?

    • Kevin Bacon on 29/11/2024 - 10:58

      For Windows HMB (non-DRAM) is "fine" (not great, not terrible) for basic non write-heavy tasks. The issue is if you plug this into motherboard chipset controlled slot instead of CPU controller slot, the latency for basically any operation can be higher.
      Not recommended for PS5 either, Sony OS doesn't officially support HMB so no caching.

  • Parttimer on 29/11/2024 - 09:31

    Thanks picked one up also

    Keep in mind this is a cheaper QLC (quad layer) based NVME not a TLC (Tripple layer) so it will have less long term endurance. Still great for the price though.

    • Cgyun2014 on 29/11/2024 - 09:42

      I though 1 post said better pay more for qlc from tlc? So tlc > qlc, less layers is better now? Correct me if wrong cheers.

      • Slipstream on 29/11/2024 - 09:49
        +1

        Less layers is better
        in order of quality (generally speaking) it goes
        SLC —> MLC —> TLC —> QLC

        however the price also reflects this.
        it really depends on how much you're going to be writing to and from the drive. If you're not moving terabytes of data frequently you'll probably be fine with QLC.

      • Talsek on 29/11/2024 - 09:50
        +1

        Yes less layers is better.

        Tldr more bits per cell = more error correction.

        Better density but worse performance and endurance

      • DmytroP on 29/11/2024 - 10:00

        All other parts equal, QLC would be about 2x less reliable compared to TLC, but QLC fits 4 bits to each cell compared to 3 bits with TLC so it's cheaper.

      • netsurfer on 29/11/2024 - 10:19

        TLC (Triple Level Cell), QLC (Quad Level Cell) refer to the voltage levels. With more voltage levels per cell:

        • There is less margin for error (it is easy to detect black and white compared to 8 or 16 shades of grey colours accurately).
        • Harder to write as fast (because better voltage control is required) - (kinda like it's faster to print black and white vs quality greyscale).
        • More voltage levels is used to reduce the number of cells needed. Less cells means less room to spread the writes (which means less TBW).

        This SSD most likely uses YMTC 232L QLC (232 layers, quad bit voltage levels). QLC has another issue. Due to its slow write, it has to use a very aggressive pSLC to achieve 7400Mbps (no SSD can write in QLC native mode at that speed). Problem is, once the pSLC runs out of cells, the SSD has to re-write all that data in QLC form. If you continue to write data to the SSD, it slows down the new data write speed to 50% of QLC's write speed (because it needs to use 50% of QLC write speed on re-writing pSLC data to QLC, so 50% left to write new data in QLC - in reality, the speed drop is way over 50%'s QLC native write speed). Old QLC SSDs doing foldback write can drop to as bad as 35MB/s. No info on how this one goes (hoping it to be above 100MB/s, but I doubt it can do 300MB/s under foldback write mode).

        Layers… more generally means higher bandwidth support, but it doesn't mean it hasn't got its down side either. In this case, 232L is mainly to achieve 7400Mbps max high queue depth sequential read.

        The way I use QLC SSDs, when doing writes, as soon as I noticed it is not doing pSLC write, I stop adding more data to it and let it recover. QLC is fine as gaming SSDs in general (because reads generally don't suffer this type of huge performance drop). I do have 2 QLC SSDs which writes at a speed far worse than HDD in foldback write state (and it's easy to reach that state as the SSD fills up). One of them goes down to 35MBps write… and does feel painfully slow.

      what so it'll last 15 years instead of 17?

      • Slipstream on 29/11/2024 - 09:51

        Totally depends on your usage.

        If you're a video editor, and you're frequently dealing with terabytes of data moving around you'll find that the TBW gets chewed through very quickly. Totally depends on what you're using you PC for.

        It's not measured in "years" endurance is measured in Terra-bytes written.

        • BaccyChan on 29/11/2024 - 10:22

          I know what TBW is.. but I mean someone who understands it to the point where they are aware of their needs because they're a video editor doesn't need this explained.. I'm pretty sure they'd know what to get..

          I have this drive, it has 1024tb.. you can write 5terabytes a month and it's still got an estimated life span of 17 years with this usage.. They also often last past this level as it's just an estimate for warranty. If you're trying to get lets be conservative and even put it up to 15 Terabytes of usage a month. you'll still get 5.6 years out of it. It's $140… you over think this shit lol

          • netsurfer on 29/11/2024 - 10:40

            @BaccyChan: It's not just the quoted TBW. It also depends on how you use it as well. QLC SSDs are not ideal as cold storage. They really need to be powered on at least from time to time. It is also unclear how reliable the Maxon controller is.

            TBW is overrated. I had multiple SSDs which completely died with less than 2TB TBW, various brands including Samsung. Generally, it is the SSD models that matter. Some models have high failure rate.

          • Slipstream on 29/11/2024 - 10:43

            @BaccyChan: I own a signage and graphics design company. I have multiple graphics designers that work for me, some of my design PC's at the office hit 3-4tb of data written each week. Even more when big video render work is being done. If i have a drive with a TBW of 500 i might only see 2-3 years of use out of the drive prior to it failing or becoming unreliable.

            Depending on your expectations you may be happy with this or not, i was merely pointing out that this is a drive using that particular tech, and if you're someone moving a lot of data it could be an issue for longevity.

  • Hentendo on 29/11/2024 - 09:47

    Wow that is a really good deal.

    I got my Lexar NM790 4TB for $275 a year ago and am so happy with those speeds, and these are the same speed.
    I can get two of these for less than that.

    • skittlebrau on 29/11/2024 - 09:58

      Just bear in mind that your NM790 is TLC and this SSD is QLC.

      Under some scenarios, QLC can be extremely slow.

    Thanks, OP.

    Was eyeing the Kingston KC3000, but this price was too good to pass up!

    • kulprit on 29/11/2024 - 10:13

      Is the drive actually as good as a KC3000?

      • jessed on 29/11/2024 - 10:15
        +2

        From what I understand, TLC is better than QLC (which this drive uses), but the read/write and iops appear comparable. The 30% price difference was worth the dice roll for me.

        Will just have to wait and see :)

        Edit: says it's rated for 1024TBW and according to Samsung Magician, I'm at 25TBW on my OS drive after ~4 years. Should last me a while.

    Great Price and a Nice bonus being PS5 Compatible

    Regarding bank transfer (to avoid purchase)
    they usually sent out a payment received later the same day.
    Paid for this via osko bank transfer. Will edit later if it gets sent out today

    • m2pic on 29/11/2024 - 10:17

      Same same for me re bank payment.
