arghhhhh must resist.. I want a 4tb..


Please SSD Gods.. give us a $100 4tb drive..
Updated on 7/21: The actual TBW rating of the 2TB PNY drive is higher than I thought - calculations updated to reflect this.

I purchased 2 of them a month ago and installed them into my 4-bay QNAP NAS as the system drive. They are configured as RAID1. I ran several tests by doing a drag-and-drop of a 1.13GB file between a windows 11 laptop and the NAS. I ran the tests in both directions. The copy speed was consistently 1 gbit/second, which means it was constrained by the gigabit network speed.

Update: I just reran the test with a larger file -- 2 gigabytes. Same results -- the copy speed was consistently 1 gbit/second, which means it was constrained by the gigabit network speed.

I just installed a 3rd one to the by recording drive for the 4 IP cameras I have on the outside of the house.

For those concerned about wearing the drive out from all the writes from the cameras: My cameras average a write load of about 192GB/week. Per PNY the TBW rating of the 2TB drive is 540TBs, so the drive should last about 54 years. ((540*1000)/192*7/365)

Of course, many of those bytes written may require multiple writes, but I think it's a safe bet I'll get 6-years of use out of the drive, which is an average annual cost of $10/year.

TLC drive, no DRAM. From what i found the TBW is 450

Would have bit for my unraid cache drive upgrade, but a friend just gave me a 1tb ssd as a thank you for upgrading their computer and doing a few other things for them. It's hard to beat free.

That's good to know. I've been eyeing these as cheap NAS storage, I'm assuming the drop in speed occurs once 100gb has transferred in a single job and then resets once you start another transfer?

Yup, they said after about 20 seconds a new transfer started at full speed. Definitely not an os drive, but seems like a good storage drive

The copy file speed is limited at 100MB in 1gb network. If you can get 1gb coping speed, your network must be 10gb.

He said 1 gigabits. So he is right. Of course factoring protocol overheads.
