The endurance rating [pny.com] on the cs1030 drive is really low.
1 TB is only 240
2 TB is only 380

I think the only complaint people have about SSDs is reliability and that's been pretty well demonstrated to be more-or-less equal to HDDs. What else have you heard? Going from HDD to SSD is probably the greatest single upgrade you can make for a general computer experience (e.g. boot times, application load times, etc.).

That's the 1tb model. The 2tb is $156

Edit: Never mind. I thought P41 was SK Hynix
heh heh, no worries, everytime P41 comes up, there is some confusion about which manufacturer, including the first time I looked it up.

Good enough for SSD read caching on a Synology?
It will certainly improve the performance over regular spinning disks, particularly for random seek times and the number of IOps per second the array can handle.

My concern would be more with longevity if you use it fairly hard because that caching can beat up an SSD. We moved to RAID1 with SAS SSD bceause the SATA ones were bottlenecking us and not lasting as long as we needed - but at the same time, We have probably around 2PB of disk space and single VMs with 60+TB, so the scale is probably a little larger than you need. IF you're using this day-to-day but not slamming it most of the time, you're probably good - you could set it to write caching only, especially if your main array is RAID 5/6 (those speed up reads but the write penalty will make a dent that an SSD would typically be very useful for.

You mean not everyone enjoyed waiting 3 minutes for your computer to boot up?

Not sure why there's so many fanboys for the 670p. At best, it's just another mediocre drive. Not to mention QLC.
Not sure what is up with the condescending calling others fanboy, but the Intel 670p has really good performance at the current price.

Hopefully there won't be a crash on flash storage, long enough for these prices to hold steady or get discounted even further by the time Black Friday arrives this year.

The PNY CS1030 has low enough endurance ratings and no specified flash type. So it could be QLC too.

At least with the 670p you know you're getting QLC.

~$3 more for more endurance and faster speeds for a 1TB drive.

Not in a desktop with frequent power loss. In that situation SSDs without power loss protection are an accident waiting to happen.

This is literally the reason why everyone thinks storage devices die. If you are on laptop or desktop and power cuts out, a few corrupt files can give you the BSOD. People interpret as dead drives. Most of the time, next reboot is fine, sometimes you will get windows repair and worst case is you get a windows bootloop. Low level format and fresh install and you are back in game.
