Please SSD Gods.. give us a $100 4tb drive..
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.

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. If I assume that the TBW rating of the 2TB drive is the same 450TBs as the 1TB drive, then the drive should last about 45 years. ((450*1000)/192*7/365)
Of course, many of those bytes written will 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.

Very compelling numbers, thanks for posting real world results!
