You can only use the code once. Maybe that's it.

So I don't closely follow SATA SSD pricing closely, but I sure can't remember seeing a deal this good on a reputable 2TB drive. Might get one to put in an external enclosure for backups.

QLC drives like this are typically a bit slower than SSD's that use TLC, MLC, or SLC NAND. Most of the time, QLC drives will use a dynamic portion of the drive as SLC in order to improve write speed. However, you probably won't see a difference, especially on a SATA SSD except when writing files dozens of Gigabytes at a time.

The main downside to QLC NAND for most people is longevity, or write endurance. But the TBW for most QLC drives would still allow completely filling the drive with all new data every other week for 10 years before you start losing functionality. If I would guess, the average heavily used consumer drive is in service maybe half that time period before being replaced, and does not write even close to that much data.

EDIT:
As a backup, that's fine, but you'll want to connect it to something every year or two to keep the data from getting corrupted. Also, an enclosure is unnecessary just get a SATA to USB3 cable [amazon.com]

Good info and hopefully it helps others. I'm quite familiar with the different nand types and their trade offs.

Since I only typically checkout NVMe media I'm not up on what a good price is for qlc sata drives, so didn't know if this was an especially hot deal. My ancient 120GB backup ssd is getting fairly full so considering a larger drive as an additional backup for my NAS.

Seems like a good price to me. Usually the only drives I see drop below $180 for a 2TB are unheard-of brands. To me, that doesn't mean much except will the company honor a warranty, or will the company even be around in a year or two. So this is solid IMHO.

This is hands down the best SSD you can use to upgrade your PS4 or PS4 Pro. It is perfect for the appliacation.
