This $99.99 SSD trades blows with drives that cost twice as much. If you're worried about the brand, don't be. Inland doesn't manufacture anything. They are using high quality components made by Phison and Toshiba. The Corsair MP510 and Silicon Power P34A80 use the same hardware.

Inland is pretty much product branded for Micro Center. Just like Costco has Kirkland.

Hardware wise it's similar to the other dozen or so SSD. To name a few, Sabrent Rocket, Corsair MP510, Seagate FireCuda/BarraCuda 510, Gigabyte Aorus, and etc all use Phison E12 with Toshiba NAND.

Now I'm sad. I used to live a couple of miles from a microwave. Moved to another state with no micro center... Frown

Blackfriday is coming if you can wait. This is a good drive, but there are also other good ones around this price range. HP EX920 (it can go as low as $96 or lower) or Sabrent Rocket (lowest so far is $100 including shipping) can be your alternative.

Just built a PC with this drive and it works great. It uses the Phison E12 controller.

Do Not buy Sabrent/ inland etc, People don't understand that these controllers are BINNED.

The cheaper brands use the lower bin. this results in overall reduced performance , especially for laptops because of heat constraint.

Higher bin controllers will hit higher speeds than lower bins given the same temperature.

I've seen differences of between 30-50% between drives. same controller same nand, different brand

For desktop , it's not that big a deal, if you put a big heatsink on there and rig a fan to blow on it, you can almost always get peak performance. But in a laptop, that's not an option, so you want to get a higher bin if possible.

Could you please provide some evidence to your claims? Any links i can read up on? Thanks. I have a sabrent rocket and was considering another one or this unit.

Based on the benchmark I saw, they are comparable to big brand one such as Corsair MP510. Unless he has other evidence, i think the 30-50% difference is probably due to heat constraint and different motherboard (some older motherboard can only run PCIe 3 x2 or PCIe 2 x4).

there was a blurb about peak performance (relative) to temperature on anandtech a long while back when they had multiples of 1 of their review ssds.

But it's not generally part of reviews, since they'd only typically get 1 sample.


I only found out about this because I bought multiples of several different ssds to try for our work laptops. I was very surprised myself.

Maybe if you plan on using a laptop to render video or something that uses the bandwidth of the nvme lanes but for a boot drive on a gaming or general use laptop these are great.
