    Good deal, but just a heads up, they pulled a bait and switch on controllers and memory. They sent SSD's with better controllers and NAND to reviewers and then changed both a few months later, so take the reviews from tech media outlets with a grain of salt. They originally came with Phison controllers and Micron NAND, but now sell them with cheap Innogrit controllers. You can download Phison's software to test what your drive has. If it's a Phison, it will tell you the model of the controller. If it's an Innogrit, it will return an error.

    Solidigm was formerly Intel's SSD Division until it got bought by SK Hynik (Korean mem chip manufacturer) and rebranded as such.

    In other words... Yes, solid brand. Great drives for the price. I'm running 2 of these in my main rig.

    This is crazy. Every time TBW is mention on a SSD thread is crazy talk.

    You understand a lot of people just use their computers to browse Facebook, Youtube and Slickdeals, right?

    LMAO What do you think people are going to use this drive for exactly?

    800TBW is more than plenty for >99.9% of users. The drive and/or the system its in will be obsolete before they hit 800TBW.

    If TBW is actually a realistic concern for a specific user, then I promise you that user isn't on SD just looking for the cheapest drive they can find.

    Confidently incorrect. Just because you work in enterptise storage doesnt mean you know what they do with consumer grade drives.

    In fact, Kingston did the exact same thing with their NV2 drives.

    Quote from CheaperMoFo :
    Caveat Emptor:

    After the Solidigm rebranding, the P41 Plus is QLC, while the P44 is TLC.

    The Solidigm P44 appears to be the same as the old SK Hynix P41.

    Which to buy depends on your use case. If performance is important, stick with TLC (but at 2x the price).
    For a pcie 3.0 pc, I'd be better off buying this cheap pcie 4.0 memory over any pcie 3.0 memory, for future, am I correct?

    depends, technically any high end pci-3 drive with dram will perform best as a random read/write ... think of an OS drive

    as a storage drive, dram-less would be best in the price/performance ratio

    Quote from whodiini :
    While I do not dispute your claim about Solidigm, I do disagree with your claim that companies do not do this. I purchased a 1 TB and a 2 TB Adata SX8200Pro NVMe with the controller and NAND flash as positively reviewed. Both died within 6 months. I sent them back and received replacements that were packaged identically, had the same part number, UPC bar code. But they both had a controller that was a different model number and ran at a slower speed and slower NAND flash. Benchmarks showed that this replacement was much slower. I have photos of everything, Google Adata SX8200Pro and you will see that many people also got these degraded NVMe. I will not buy any Adata products anymore.

    https://www.tomshardware.com/news...ler-change [tomshardware.com]
    The only SSD (flash drive, UE700) that I've ever had die was ADATA. And the replacement died as well, which is frankly unforgivable (company is seemingly completely careless or clueless about quality manufacturing) When it comes to data storage, IMO it's worth the extra cost to buy something proven and reliable. Placing my bets on Samsung at the moment.

    You're probably right. For example, my recently semi-retired SSD (Corsair Force MP510) has about only 30 TB written (32,140 GB) after 4 years (34621 hours). "Health status" at 93% (via Crystal DiskInfo). I would consider it heavier than normal use. It was the main drive on my main PC: with OS, enormous games, countless downloads, and plenty of A/V editing (for example Audacity creates 10-20 GB temp files doing basic audio editing).

    Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to spend for the peace of mind on proven drives. Just FYI, Samsung warranties something like the 980 Pro 1TB for 5 years, 600 TBW (2TB to 1200 TBW),1.5 M hours MTBF, very similar to Solidigm. I would easily go with Samsung for a backup drive, but depending on type of use and importance, I would consider Solidigm for other things. But I'm not an expert, and knew nothing of them before Slickdeals alerts sent me a few of these.

    Are there enclosures for thunderbolt 4 or USB4's speeds of up to 40,000. USB 3.2 gen 2 is capable of 10,000 speeds. A 40,000 speed external HD would be the bomb., and great for booting a system from an external drive.

    currently i use an asus enclosure with a western digital sn 7??? 770 i think but the pci-e 3 variant with dram (they updated it to a pci-e 4 variant without dram)

    it only goes up to 1,500 but when i got the enclosure you could say the choices at the time were few and far between and fairly sketchy from reviews. it still works well enough for my needs though and is used as a backup boot drive/extremely fast storage

    i'm not sure if there is any enclosure on the market that can do 40,000 (probably marketed) but the main culprit comes down to the individual controllers that can be used. That is the main limitation.. if there is an enclosure that could handle it I would be surprised as from what i can tell there hasn't been many gpu enclosures with that type of ability as of yet so an nvme ssd one sounds dubious to me as there aren't any drives on the market that can reach that bandwidth threshold yet.

    Are you sure you're talking about the P41 Plus or other SSD model ? Solidigm P41 Plus, when it was first announced in 2022, uses Silicon Motion SM2269XT controller and 144-Layer Solidigm QLC NAND. I don't think it ever uses Phison controller and Micron NAND at all.
