I have had this for a year now and had 3 incidents of complete OS corruption. I keep backup images updated regularly but it is frustrating. Most recently I did lose a good chunk of data due the corruption happening in between backups. Food for thought.
MX 500 was good a couple of years ago but SK Hynix S31 is faster and higher TBW.

MS 500 1TB 360 TBW
SK hynix S31 1TB 600 TBW

Can't wait until 2TB reach this price point. 🤤

Quote from fishbomb :
For Chia plotting, there's no practical use for more than 2TB of SSD storage per 16 processing threads (8 simultaneous plots running in parallel). Multiply that by how much you want to plot simultaneously and you'll realize that for even Chia enthusiasts who are aiming for 1000TB+ you run out of reasons to keep adding SSDs very quickly. It's like "...great, I got it done super fast, now what do I use these things for?" If there is a spike in demand it will be due to people misunderstanding Chia and a huge number of lightly used SSDs will hit the resale market later and drive retail prices back down.

Hence why a lot of crypto miners buying up every kind of GPU regardless of whether it's any good or not because you know money and greed moves lots of people to make questionable decisions. And then you get scalpers in on it. There's no reason to mine on an RX570 and yet they're sold out everywhere and you can't buy them and a year ago they were sold new for 120$ yet there's warehouses full of these things crypto mining all over the world and their hash rates aren't that great

I care more about stability. My MX500/MX200 never had any issue.

Chia writes 50TBW per week. Consumer drives are safe
Noooo! Bud, no offense, you seriously under estimate the strain people put their system through with Chia.
The amount of writes to an ssd while using chia (should you use one) depends on the number of "plots" you calculate. Some top systems can push up to 50 plots concurrently in as little as 5 hours (using several ssd). Each plot requires about 1.8TiBW. Depending on how many plots you calculate on each ssd per day, your number can go up really quickly. A recent top home system could probably do 9 to 12 plots a day on this type of SSD, 1 TB, 3 concurrent threads . let's say 10 plot a day. 70 a week. That's about 126 TibW/week. In 3 weeks, you would reach the manufacturer specs of the MS 500. Even at 50TBW/week, thats 6 weeks only. That doesn't mean the ssd will fail immediately. But it would be a really bad idea to get this type of ssd if using a fast plotting system and planning to plot for a while.

And since people are going to replot quite a bit starting in a couple of weeks, SDD and HDD needs are not going to go down anytime soon. Price in china have tripled already.
While these type of SSD should not be used seriously for Chia, some people will, which means that it is likely the shortage at the high end of HDD and SDD will still affect the price towards the bottom...

There is a lot of bat sh*t crazy stuff happening around chia...even the creator didn't expect such a crazy growth, so if you thing you definitely need a 1TB SSD in the next 6 month for normal use and for under $100, this is or hynix probably not a bad choice.
