I was able to get my relative to run a Flash ID (see below). His was brought during this sale https://slickdeals.net/e/13728968-lexar-lns100-480rbna-480gb-sata-3-internal-ssd-29-99-at-staples-com?

There is a chance they might had done some part swapping so I would verify your firmware the original was back in 2018. The original was a 480GB not 512GB, so hopefully the firmware is still marvell and nands are TLC still.

The lexar with a marvel controller and TLC nand is a decent setup if the parts haven't been swap. I personally would go with some the other options below.

Performance (pricey) wise a dram setup would be prefer for a OS driveCheap dram-less options
  • $25 - 512GB Team group Vulkan Z with a SMI SM2259XT controller
  • a couple other teamgroup around this price aren't bad either but use a older revision of the controller. I see a few silicon power but they tend to parts swap so liable would be a concern but is an option as well.
I have been recommending that Leven pro drive for a while, Its a solid performer and well worth the extra few dollars. The MX500 is also a very good drive, I try and stay with the 1tb versions of them.

This could be semi useful for VMware hosts where we don't want to transition to local RAID storage. I.e. removing all datastores, reloading VMware and recopying all VMs back to local storage. But instead want a cheap option in lieu of USB sticks which VMware tends to eat after about 2 years. I'm looking at you Samsung USB stick. I would think VMware could run for 10 years on this even with a fairly high failure rate.

Edit: Looking at the 128/256 for $12/13

Maybe grab a cheap rtl9210B enclosure for $11 and grab a cheap m.2 NVME. The transfer speed will be much faster as well.

This is a great deal. Too bad I don't need one at the moment and I have several spare 1 tb Samsung SSDs.

Was the cheap SSD a inland professional? I be a bit cautious on that drive since it's a phison S11. The one we had randomly lost it's ability to boot and got a free replace a microcenter and a few weeks later same thing. It would disconnect from various usb connector (jmicron / asmedia) when other ssd didn't have any issue. Eventually we resort to using it as a internal cache drive. The drive is fast for copying and pasting files but anything for
OS i would hesitate. surprising no infamous SATAFIRM S11 yet.
Yes they are the inlands. 😒

Thank you ! This is a very helpful comment! I grabbed the 2TB Leven for $84– just using it to run some strategy games and I back up the saves . The speed is excellent for these kind of games

In my experience Lexar is the worst brand for storage. Most of their storage solutions that I have used tend to fail within a year. This includes memory cards, flash drives.

In MY experience I have NEVER had an issue with my Lexar SD cards or SSD drives and I've been using them for 5 years so far. Best bang for buck on the market in my experience…
