do you have any sources that show the warranty on this drive is subpar? after all, it's the company that backs the warranty (micron, in this case), and not the specific product. the product page says 5 year warranty - is micron's 5 year warranty subpar compared to say, samsung's 5 year warranty?

this drive has 800tbw - it's not as high as some high end TLC drives for sure. but the vast majority of people will never hit that. SSD failure is usually due to heat, misuse, firmware issues, other electronic component failures, and not from hitting the TBW. TBW is based on the flash memory, and does not take these other factors into account. it's similar to how LED flashlights boast millions of hours but the flashlight itself breaks within a year due to poor components on the circuit board etc.

at first glance you sound as if you're trying to give a public announcement for our benefit, but you're making people unnecessarily question their purchase and trying to influence them to buy something more expensive (or additional) when it's not an absolute necessity.

unless you can share some hard statistics that this drive has a noticeably higher failure rate than more expensive, higher end drives, i think you're making a lot of exaggerated assumptions. you shouldn't tell people that they have to buy the best of the best (which is you're recommending) just to boot into windows.

This is a good deal. I got one at $225 recently and am pleased with the performance. Note that it is 1) gen3 2) QLC so once you use of the cache it is slower than a spinning drive 3) No SLC cache, but psuedo cache ~ 1/4 of unused space.

I don't know the specifics because I haven't dealt with it, but I've read lots of warnings and complaints here about that happening with certain SSDs. Apparently it crawls when it gets filled past a certain percentage. Hopefully someone else can answer this with more detail than I can.

consumer spinning hard drives via SATA III can output 750MB/s in ideal conditions, that's an absolute hard limit... They also spend ridiculous amount of time seeking for a sector. In real life scenario I would say if you get 200MB/s with HDD you are as good as it gets. While I could think of scenarios when SSD is slower than that (such as: when it is 100% full and payload involves a lot of writes), I can not possibly consider this to be a common case.

I had an Adata Swordfish drive that was advertised as TLC but was definitely swapped to QLC.

Once the cache filled, write speeds dropped to 7MBps. Slower than a cheap flash drive. I spent a few hours trying to diagnose and fix it before giving up.

Needless to say I won't be touching QLC ever again. It's not worth saving $20 for vastly lower TBW and speed.

Yeah, I think it slows to a crawl way worse than that and it starts happening well below 99%. I can understand your confusion because I feel it too when I read about it happening, but it's been mentioned here a lot. I'll let someone else point you in the right direction because that's really all I know about it. If I find a link with more information, I'll share it.

Thank you for sharing this. There's seems to be some confusion about this subject, so I appreciate you sharing your experience.

I'm confused why it got a downvote so fast. Seems like this is exactly the kind of comment that potential consumers would find helpful.

Slickdeals, can you please fix this so that downvotes require an explanation? Trolls shouldn't be able to crap all over your website so easily because it ruins the experience for everyone.

Generally you never want to fill an SSD above 80%. The more full the drive gets, the faster those remaining cells wear out as they get hammered by the swap file and background tasks over and over again.

Above 90% you're in critical territory.

That is 100000% not true on your 2nd point of it being slower than a spinning drive if cache is full. Literally impossible.

Dude, that is literally the case with almost anything made in this entire world. "Oh don't buy that new vehicle because if you wait it'll be cheaper". "Don't buy that game, it'll be cheaper in the future". JFC.

wait... WHAT? slower than a spinning drive? When was the last time you used a spinning drive?
Once cache is full, it will slow down to a halt. There's a reason drive with cache cost more. Otherwise, p3 and p3 plus would be same price.......
This will close down to 80 MB/s once cache is full.

It's been 10 years since I looked at computer tech. If i bought a laptop with say 500gb could i swap this in as long as both are m.2 drives?
the device has to have an accessible M-keyed M.2 slot supporting x4 lane PCIe 3 (or later) and able to accommodate size 2280. make sure you watch a disassembly video before buying; some devices are a b*tch to upgrade.

but do you really need this much storage? this is QLC flash. i'd favor less storage based on TLC flash for reliability (and speed). take a look at the SN850X 2TB, going now for $160, which is OPAL 2.01 compliant. you can also consider the slightly faster Hynix Platinum P41 2TB if you don't care about encryption (it doesn't encrypt, no matter what flyers or reviewers say). these devices can work on the same M.2 slot, but transfer speeds will be capped to about half their maximums if your PCIe version is less than 4.

I read that ssd's will drop by 50% this year. Waiting a bit longer for the better drives.
