Slow transferring large files gets very hot 🔥
If you have it hooked up to a USB port that can't quite provide the necessary power, things run real wonky too. On my HP Pavillion laptop, the thing works, but there is a noticable delay at the beginning of each write operation. On my powered USB 2.0 hub, it doesn't even work enough to be used reliably. None of my USB HDDs or SATA to USB connected SSD's have such problems on these ports.
But really, writing hot wouldn't have been a problem for me IF the thing could idle cool. I live in AZ. During the summer, I really don't want any unnecessary heat building up in my house.
I just did a quick search and didn't see any indication this issue has been fixed. It's possible it has and I'm not seeing it, but research first if you're thinking about buying for that purpose.
QLC is certainly worse, but the X8 has a massive SLC cache, far more than most at this pricepoint or even above. The X6 is the problematic one as it has a small SLC cache. This is one of the best QLC drives out there since the cache is so large that most will never even go beyond it and suffer the QLC performance drop. Most TLC drives will actually perform similar or worse than this on normal workloads because they have smaller SLC caches.
For game drives or most use cases, you'll either rarely or never use up the SLC cache, so you won't run into the direct to QLC performance drop. You have to write over 256gb continuously to saturate the cache. Unless you're transferring more than that, this drive will be fine for you.
If you're doing video writes or something that uses more than that frequently, you probably already know that you shouldn't be looking at something like this.
