We were all waiting for graphic card crash, but instead of that, we got SSD crash…how low can they go? I'm piling up SSDs, must resist.

You know you're old when other think CDs' 650MB storage is small. We had to game on 2 or 3 floppy discs(1.4MB).

Is there a TLC and DRAM ssd for the same price worth getting right now? This one looks pretty good as a storage drive.

I think one of them is an Amazon exclusive, and the other is sold at different retailers.

Yes we are now in the era where a single game can be more than 200gb.

Remember when games needed to fit on a single DVD? That was the last time I gamed, just recently got back to it. Was shocked I needed to buy a 1TB drive just to store games.
My installation of Ark: Survival Evolved is 435gb. No mods, only official map packs and stuff.

Grab as many as you can lol. I haven't bought anything yet but this is on my list. I may just grab 2 of these myself. I need to replace my HDDs and just use them as cold storage.





Nextcloud is rough getting to speed up in general lol. I'm running Unraid also and attached Redis to the installation and moving it to a SSD is definitely on my to do list and I hope that helps it.
I wouldn't count on HDs as cold storage. Maybe it was just bad luck but I had two identical Maxtor 200GB drives. One I left in my "NAS" computer as boot drive, the other I moved to an external HD enclosure. I think at one point I went over a year before using the external. When I powered it back on, it got the "click of death". It would spin up but as soon as I tried to transfer data it would click click click. Fast forward over 10 years later and that 200GB drive is still working. The only difference it is only off a couple days at most.

Finally, a SATA SSD priced as expected!
Like others, I don't need this right now (anymore), but I will give this a big fat Thumbs Up; this is a Slick Deal.

NVMe is better, yes.
But, I'm left curious if 4x-5x of these on either an M.2 SATA 5port-expander, mainboard SATA, or inexpensive RAID card, in RAID-0 or 5 would 'beat' lower-end 8TB NVMe drives (while still being a lot less $$$)?

Quote from JamieL2159 :
In my own words and totally not a copy/paste:
The DRAM on an SSD is used to store data mapping tables, which keeps track of logical blocks and their physical locations in NAND. On DRAM-less SSDs this mapping table is stored in NAND. Since NAND is slower than DRAM, DRAM-less SSDs' performance may be slower than SSDs with a DRAM cache
Yes, you are right, but what about HMB (Host Memory Buffer) ?

Even old games bloat to that level with mods.

I built my first external hard drive to use with my Atari 520ST...it was a 25 Mbyte Seagate 3.5" drive (back before Seagates became disposables), separate power supply, separate controller card and heavy metal case. It cost me about $275 total.

Then again, when I was in college in 1971 I took a Statistical Psychology class in which I had to teach myself Fortran 4 and then go to the basement of the Science Building and cut the cards to run the program...because the computer filled the entire basement.

I also recall back in 1975 when I was flying as a Navy Airborne Electronic Warfare Officer one of my fellow officers bought an LED watch and a four-function calculator. They EACH cost $350.

Luckily, being an EWO made me a terrible geek so I have kept up with everything.

Tempted to get one as an external drive for Xbox One X. May wait for prices to continue to drop though.

Minimum 40 with no chance of parole versus crippling monthly payments for the rest of your life.
