    Can't believe 4 years ago a 1TB SN550 was this same price

    • +1

      Travel back to 2000, you'll be shocked, probably get a 10GB IDE drive for the same price.

  • +1

    Rather than the old SN580, I'd pay the ten bucks or so more that you can get the new faster SN3000 series for.

    Unless someone knows of a reason the new SN3000 and SN5000 series aren't as good.

    • +1

      these are all hmb

      sn3000 = green

      sn5000 = blue

      they arent fantastic but about what you expect from brand name lower to mid end hmb

      • Going from the specs, seems like SN5000 is still at least an upgrade from SN580 then?

    • Isn't SN3000 QLC?

    • +5

      Some people don't like seeing discussion of the TBW numbers, but… that quite possibly might be the lowest I've seen in it's class.

      250TBW on the 2TB SN3000.

      I wonder if the cut-off where it goes read-only is actually that or it's a warranty number.

      • SN5000 has much higher figure

  • Is the crucial P3 any good?

    • +1

      last gen, dont buy

      • Thanks for the reply. Not sure why we both got negged.

        • +2

          eh, ignore them, fake internet points mean nothing

          some people here are reddit addicts(esp show up on tech deals) so they care a lot.

  • +5

    Still waiting for a good deal on the 4TB M.2

  • +1

    If I am to use it with PS5, do I need a heat sync of something? Or just use as-is?

    • +2

      While OP mentions that it's PS5 compatible, this is both HMB and comes under the PS5 recommended write speed specs.

      It'll still work, but I wouldn't go as far as saying that it's a supported configuration.

      • Is there any compatibility issues or is it just a matter of loading times?

  • Would this be good as a read/write cache ssd for a NAS? Possibly 2. Just learning this stuff. Model is UGREEN DXP4800 Plus with x4 12tb Ironwolf Pro's. Appreciate any feedback :)

    • +1

      Yes, I am running a pair of this exact drive in my Synology DS1821+ (currently 6 disks in SHR1, + a pair of these in Raid0 as read-only cache)

      In fact, I'd go as far and say these are overkill. Even your DXP4800 has a pair of 2.5GbE ports (theorectical 625MB/sec max, according on UGreen's website), these SSDs are still faster to saturate your bandwidth before the NAS bottleneck by its Read/Write threshold.

      Mindful you have an Intel 12Gen N Series Quad-Cores 4 Threads CPU (from the UGreen product page), the only way I can think of where you can fully utilise the SSD's read/write would be constant checksum or rebuilding your array. Cache size is too big to put a pair of 2TBs whether you run them in raid 0/1 for a 114TB max. volume. There is not enough disks and/or processing power to saturate these SSDs in a ready-made NAS box.

      • Thanks for your input!

  • This or the Kingston for another $30?

    • if you want one just for gaming or a boot drive this is fine

      • What's the ideal HDD set up these days? Still an M.2 as boot and HDD for mostly everything else? Thinking about a 2tb boot and a large HDD for games. Any huge benefits to putting a game on an M.2, other than load times?

        • uhh HDD is only used for storing large amounts of data such as photos videos old files etc.

          OS Drive, Gaming, Creative work such as editing etc it all benefits from having an sdd. Load times are the biggest benefit but I think a lot of games now (atleast the ones I play) assume that everyone has an SSD and optimise for that, so an HDD will have you load slower might have you stutter ingame sometime when assets are loading in etc.

          • @Freestyle: Fair. Would you put those games on the same drive as your boot, or a 2nd m.2?

            • @deed03: Just make sure you dont exceed 80-90% of the capacity as that harms the ssd quicker but you can do whatever you want in that drive after the OS is installed

              Remember most SSDs are only rated for a limited amount of writes(like around 6 years worth usually), For game only drives its mostly 'reads' so it usually runs for a long time but OS drive is a bit different.

  • Decent or overkill for a proxmox OS drive?

  • +1

    I need to get more space for my PC. Is this a good buy for extra storage like games, files etc?

    • Same situation here. Currently using a MAXSUN Challenger H610M mobo from a techfast deal.

      Would this be a good upgrade?

    • -1

      It's fine for extra storage. If you want one as a main boot drive, ideally you would get one with DRAM

      • Ideally DRAM yes, but DRAM drives are also significantly more expensive.

        SN580 will operate at close to DRAM drive speeds (due to the pSLC cache) as long as less than 1/3 of the drive is filled (e.g. in this case 682GB).

        • +1

          Not using 2/3 of the drive you bought is a pretty hefty restriction for reasonable performance.

  • +2

    For anyone wondering, the firmware update is non-negotiable. I’ve built a few PCs with this drive and they cause random bluescreens in Windows 11 24H2

  • I notice you can get a generic adaptor to plug this in to a SATA port. Is this reliable, or am I better off just getting a SATA SSD?

    • +1

      That's not something I've seen. A generic adapter to plug an NVMe drive into a SATA port. There are plenty of adapters to plug M.2 SATA SSDs into SATA ports. And there are plenty of adapters to plug M.2 drives whether they are NVMe or SATA into USB ports. But an adapter to plug an NVMe drive into a SATA port is something I haven't seen. It is rather more complicated in its electronics because SATA and NVMe use different messages

  • I ordered 4 of these on 4 separate order to get the discount for each. They packaged all 4 in separate orders and tracking numbers lol. 3 of them arrived today.
