this is a GREAT bargain BUT
it has a LOW TBW of only 240 and that's no bargain

there are BETTER DRIVE with a TBW more then 2x as high 500 and 600 that CO$T LE$$

you do realized you're referring to a banner seller on SD? and TBW is pointless as any SSD will probably last 10+ yrs even base on the original Sammy 840 TLC

to be honest i never new i reached out today about this after a warning
i asked for a list of banned sites or sellers but there is none and no reason either ok maybe i have to much time to look for SD and i do it well (would love to be a paid contributor on SD but i need more flexible hours then the current DE) i am a out of work computer tech appliance tech all around fix it guy (thegreatfixer)
isn't TBW like a Car warranty if one were to give 5 year 50,000 miles and one gives 5 years 100,000 miles (if the core parts are better) i would go for the 5/100,000

thanks for reaching out to me
