Amazon also dropped its price to $200. Been in my cart for a few months now.

Great price.
I purchased too many of these now I only wish they have something comparable in 4TB.

PNY is not in the same league as this SSD.

It has better write speeds but worse read speeds https://ssd.userbenchmark.com/Com...2vsm892867

Note ADATA has been doing some shady stuff with this particular model:

Read the most recent reviews on Amazon and note a lot of people are not getting anywhere near the advertised speeds.

I'm here too,
-- too much ssd..(1tb sata in old laptop), 2tb in new laptop, 2tb nvme 4.0 in desktop so it will take next gen and price drops to be in the market again!

Wow this is shady.
Retracting my recommendation on this model until further development...

Great stick for that secondary storage m.2 slot on your motherboard. Especially those rocking b550 mono's.

Before ADATA did the shady swapping of controller, no this is not the same league. Phison E12S is only good at write speed and that's mainly due to caching. On all other fronts, especially read and power efficiency, SMI SM2262EN is better. Well of course if you consider the price difference it would still make sense to get the PNY CS2130, but to be honest that's only its fair price after all the hassle.
