You guys are reaching a little with the criticisms. A 370 TBW rating means you could load 370,000 GB of data in its lifetime before replacement is necessary. For context:

* Fortnite - 30GB

* Apex Legends - 25GB

* GTA5 - 90GB

This means you could install all three games once per day literally every day for ~7 years before you wear out the drive.

One hour of 4K video is roughly 25GB. You could load nearly 15,000 hours of videos ā€” that's 24 hours a day every second for over 600 days.

So yeah, it'll last you a long, long time as a regular windows/Linux boot drive. Be realistic about your usage. This is an amazing price for a great SSD.
Why does it have to be the better brand? Hynix is good, no arguing there, but Intel is a good brand also.

5 YR warranty is a plus. QLC NAND makes it cheaper but lower endurance. For general use it's a great deal. Speeds are very respectable for the price. In for a couple. Thanks OP!
What does "meh" mean? Unreliable? Expensive? Bad support?

I don't expect a $65 1TB SSD to be a 5-star market overperformer, but given that the speeds are actually pretty good and has a 5 year warranty from an US company and good reliability, I'll take "meh".

Here's a Tomshardware.com review where they give it a 4 star rating and the "cons" are of no real importance:

Seems better than "meh" for $65.

Quote from sr71 :
nope, the penalty occurs when SLC cache is exhausted even nearly full that's upwards of 25GB in this model. Wink all SSDs will decrease in performance as they fill. as a boot drive your use case is mostly random reads/writes - not a long sequential write that's likely to exceed cache.... reads are unaffected regardless

endurance is plenty - check the endurance of the Samsung 840 Pro - which was a flagship SSD at one point, even the old 840 TLC Planar was calculated to last at 10.2 yrs with way less TBW, other posters also addressed the TBW in relative terms


Intel made SSD's like the 730 series since the MLC SATA days - some of the first 5yr wtys and rated for 70GB/day duty at the 240GB/480GB level. (enterprise level in those days)
QLC has longer erase times (than TLC)

As your drive fills up there will be fewer empty blocks to quickly write data to which is why performance degradation occurs since it takes 10x longer to erase data than write it


But you're correct, all drives degrade but QLC moreso

That said, this is a "high end" QLC drive if there is such a thing since it has both DRAM + SLC cache

If you don't know, Intel SSD business failed, Intel is shutting down it's SSD business, sell China facility to SK, the 5-year warranty will be a joke.

and again that if the file fits in SLC cache; the actual erase/rewrite is transparent to you - it's done before your next op.

Warranty is fine. Hynix is already handling RMAs on Intel products.

It's sad that SSDs are as big a crap shoot as mechanical drives.

It's amazing both technologies work as well as they do and when they don't, that's what RAID is for.

Quote from RowdyReptile :
Interesting. I'm a photographer and recently shot 200GB of photos at a football game. If I shot that much every week, that would be 10TB/year, or this drive would last me 37 years. That'll do.

You would not use this for 37 year storage of photographs. Buy spinning rust instead and do multiple backups for less than the cost of this. This makes no sense for long term archiving for a photographer.

Good price for a solid item. Been using it for 3 years no problem. I think i got mine for around $70
This drive was released at the end of February 2021. Are you sure you have the Intel 670p? The Intel 660p was released in 2018, and you might have had that for 3 years at this point.

I was kidding. It's not that I'll store 37 years worth of photos on this (impossible on a 1 TB drive!) but that with pretty heavy use, it would last me that long.

Intel sold its nand division to hynix so it may be hynix making these, for now.
