Sorry you were right, I was remembering wrong, USB3 gen 1 is ~ 500MB/s. However I still strongly suspect the limit here is sort of SATA not…

No, that's ~1GB/s. However this must be a SATA SSD, so it's the maximum speed you can expect. You'll need a NVMe or native USB chipset for…

Hard to say why they are making it less obvious who runs the stores. I wouldn't be surprised if it's more to do with customers than…

Weird, despite going down twice, it came off Big Save maybe 2-3 hours after changeover on Cutiesliving and so gone up a lot.

Slightly cheaper now for the 2 if you buy via the Big Save Daily Grabs, I think US$25.42. (Not sure since I live in NZ and AliExpress…

If you just want the headphones, they're barely more at the original Cutesliving now after Choice Day. No longer on SuperDeals so use a…

Oh sorry you're right. I was thinking of the FN955. Didn't realise they were different, though the FN970 was just the heatsink version of…

Not sure whether to post this as a new deal since I'm not a regular and it's not much better, but further reduction means it's now $219.96.…

This SSD is almost definitely just another one of those MAP1602+YMTC232L so in terms of performance will be similar to the Verbatim Vi7000g…

It means it's out of stock, but I suggest you keel looking especially in the evening since this is the most common times I've seen it in…

Showing as in stock again in NZ even when I select delivery to ACT. Be warned I saw the same yesterday and within 30 minutes or so it took…

Orderable again although delivery estimate is a month away

Unfortunately out of stock again now for me in NZ. Might be worth keeping an eye on though, it' possible it might come and go out of stock

Generally yes, although it can come back into stock as I think it might have now. I suspect, but have never verified, that it might still…

I think it might be in stock again? At least it's showing as in stock for me in NZ and I believe there was a time when it was out of stock.…

If you're willing and not currently doing it, try using the mobile app on an actual phone or tablet instead, that can sometimes help. Do…

FWIW, there's currently a lightning deal on Amazon US also from Biwin Tech https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BNTFVVGDat US$212.40 which…

The Maxio version of VLO should work http://vlo.name:3000/tmph/maxio_nvme_fid.rar If the Maxio version doesn't work, try the InnoGrit one.…

Maxio 1602 + YMTC232L at 2TB definitely can do more than 6400MB/s sequential writes, see e.g.…

Just a word of warning, I heard on Disord a few days ago from an extremely trustworthy source that some of the Chinese SSDs with…

According to reports from someone who bought one, the 4TB at least was YMTC232L+MAP1602 https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/14984274/redir…

Yeah the YMTC232L+MAP1602 SSDs seem to be the last of the decent priced SSDs. Other brands which currently seem cheap on AliExpress but not…

Yeah sorry I should have updated my comment as I read about this a few days ago. Still while 2TB TLC 2230 do exist, they're a lot rarer…

Well to be fair, no one has reported what the 2TB has yet AFAIK. I'm fairly sure it will also be MAP1602 + YMTC 232L, but you could get…

I don't see any reason to doubt you'll receive a VI7000g. That's the 2TB version of the 4TB deal here…

If you look at the bug reports, it's not restricted to Lexar, reports on Fanxiang, Netac, Acer.…

Well I think we can be sure they're wrong and just went by what the title or whatever said in their system. Only question is what happens…

I don't live in Australia, but I'm very surprised if Amazon in Australia is allowed to sell you a drive without DRAM and say you received…

If it doesn't even have DRAM cache than the Verbatim 2TB from Amazon Japan vs AU is worth considering IMO. About $10 more and you do have…
