You do realize you just listed the Oem for every ssd out there. The reason they are cheaper is because they use lesser binnings, plastic cases, proprietary ECC algorithms, tiresome warranty procedures, and the cheapest of the cheap controllers. Unlike nvme no dram in a sata drive can be a real problem because of no hmb. Granted the Oem you mentioned are priced premium as there are always different tiers of products. They are hitting a price point and if your goal is archiving then these are perfect. they won't be performance drives. I bought two to serve as tier 1 for my nas, perfectly happy for my use case because before it was being served off large spinning disks which are slower.

Crazy to think this is almost as cheap as a spinning disk hard drive, I bought my first 256GB Samsung SSD in 2009 and it cost me a small fortune.

Probably the most honest SSD company out there with good products unlike Samsung, SK Hynix and Micron that have been milking consumers for every penny they've got. While hard drive have increased capacity up to 16-18TB companies like Samsung have kept SSDs price super-high at 1-2TB for the past decade since 2014. These greedy companies deserve to go out of business for their shady collusion and monopolistic practices.

Came here to say the same thing. Pop open any team group and you will see usually micron nand.

THIS.
The big 3 brands Samsung, Hynix, Micron make virtually all the memory in the world.
If the big 3 are colluding then that can't be undercut by the brands that use chips made by the big 3.

No matter what brand your SSD or DIMM is the chips inside are from Samsung, Hynix or Micron. All the other brands just buy chips from those 3 companies and then cut corners to make profit. 90%+ of the time the particular corners they cut won't matter though.

Samsung SSDs are super high price because they can be. If Samsung wasn't a household name or if Samsungs quality was crap then nobody would be paying 50-100% more.

Continous recording of survelliance cams? Isn't it going to wear out the SSD in a short time? And spinning drivers would make more practical sense?

I'm debating putting 3 of them as raid 5 for data drives in my Windows Server 2016 essentials
Any thoughts?
