1TB is only $34.99....not bad either
Thanks for clearing that up Teamgroup, now I know the exact differences in your models.

And the Advanced AX2 (silver + orange) is made exclusively for amazon to sell, and the Elite EX2 (silver + blue) is not exclusive and is up to 550 read vs 540... and the difference in the guts of these models is... what exactly?

I have a few teamgroup SSDs, all work great, but damn comparing the specs on their models is just silly. They do have a comparison function on their site that is... well useless.

From TomsHardware review ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ

The Team Group EX2 delivers
fairly solid write speeds within its SLC cache. However, sustained write speeds tank drastically after the cache is full. The EX2 wrote 358GB worth of data at a rate of 460 MBps before degrading to snail-like speeds of just 15 MBps. Fortunately, the SSD implements fast cache recovery to regain some of that space if needed. After given just 30 seconds of idle time, the EX2 recovered roughly 100GB of its SLC cache.

I got reamed by Team several years ago when I bought some SD cards from NewEgg. Both cards lasted less than two months. Two months!

I can afford to pay five dollars extra for a better brand. I can't afford to lose 512GB of storage.

How does this compare to the Kingston SSDs that are on sale? I just grabbed a couple 480s prior to seeing this :/

I mean Amazon FireTV units. But you can also expand FireTV sticks if that's what you're looking for.

Kingston is a better known / established brand. You might get better support/warranty assistance if you ever need it.

The advertised speeds of the Kingstons 400 series are slightly lower than this drive, tho I doubt you would ever notice a real-world difference.

For these low end SSD's I think its like buying bottled water - name brands are a little more spensive but will you taste a difference? Maybe? Prolly not? Will they all make you less thirsty? Id hope so.

how was it possible for ssd to write at 15 MBps speed?
I thought without moving head, platters. ssd shouldn't be doing that snail speed.

Maybe it's a limitation of controller used in this SSD. Search for this review in TomsHardware and take a look at it.. They might've included the rationale behind slow write speed post cache fill.
