How is it pointless? An ssd is an ssd and much better than a hard drive. Good storage drive for games and such.
Probably mediocre but one of, if not the cheapest 1TB SSDs I've ever seen.
NAND endurance is overblown. This drive (at 1TB) is rated for 240TBW. The average computer probably writes less than 50 GB a day on average. At 50 GB a day, that's 13 years of NAND endurance. You can do the math for more frequent writes. Obviously, if you intend to write a lot, this is not the drive for you. But it's well within acceptable bounds for the average user.

Aside from the endurance part, I don't think any particular "reputable" or not drives are more or less likely to fail. SSDs are basically a commodity these days. They're made from a controller, from one of about five companies who make controllers, NAND flash, from one of about five companies that make those, and optionally, DRAM, from one of around three companies that make that. Slap it together with the reference firmware, and you've got a SSD. So to think that a "reputable" company would make more reliable SSDs, when they're all thrown together from the same parts bin...

Of course, there are a couple companies who roll in-house controller designs, like Samsung and WD (and probably more I don't remember), but everyone else pulls from the same parts bin.

Well, I'd be worried about reliability. But besides that, it's just a super basic SSD. SATA, No DRAM, etc. Nothing wrong with it if you trust its reliability.

I agree it's a good price if you need it but without dram it's kind of pointless.

Out of all the ssds I have installed in clients builds. This is like four or five hundred. The dramless ones failed most often

Seems good enough for game storage. This ended up being a great deal for me with the amazon $10 promo code that applied bringing the drive down to 53 plus tax.

Perhaps this SSD has no DRAM, and the controller is known as the SM2258XT. The performance of the SM2258XT controller is very poor. However, a very cheap SSD is a big advantage.

Funny, I've also installed hundreds of different types of SSDs in builds and found the majority of them are very reliable outside of a few specific drives.
