while this is not the fastest ssd, it is decent cost per tb.
Damn not bad, feeling like Black Friday here already…

QLC means read heavy and write too often. But would it go bad if you just store it without using it often. That is my concern with these high storage SSD made on QLC and I am worried we will see PLC in not too distant future.

This is tempting me. I've been wanting to replace my old 500gb sata ssd I have in my pc with a 2tb. I should just go 8 huh? I'd end up putting in my next pc build in a few months too. Is the speed good enough for games compared to m2?

Woah, leave that much for over-provisioning? I thought 15% is more than enough?
Technically the more you over provision, the more resilient the drive will be, so you can avoid some if the QLC pitfalls. If you reserve too much, then your $/GB starts to rival TLC drives.

Got this a few weeks back and quite happy with it. It ends up being 7452GB. The speed slows down when you persistently read/write for long periods of time but still quite an upgrade from HDD as the latency for accessing files is super low now.

Edit: The reason for the small than advertised disk capacity is because all drive manufactures these days use 1TB = 1000GB and 1GB = 1000MB as a unit of measurement, The computer see 1TB as 1024GB and 1GB as 1024MB. It's basically the same as a vendor redefining a 1LB as being 10oz instead of 16oz and advertising something as 5LB when its actually only 3LBs.

I bought one of these before when they were on sale for $800. I use it strictly to keep all my digital movies on to stream to the rest of the house. Works great so far. For $300 I would certainly buy again if I had a need for it. I mean I am almost tempted to grab another and use it in some nas setup maybe. Right now it is just on a little mini comp that is mostly headless I use as a media server and does the job just fine.

So close to Black Friday at this point. I'm waiting till then for a hopefully slightly better deal, but this is getting to the price range I'll snap at.

Depends what you use it for, 1TB/4 is just 256GB of cells, not much to shuffle around. So for a heavy io drive I'd leave more, but if its just holding your flac collection, it probably doesn't matter. I leave my OS drive half empty.

Not sure if your serious or not ?
A windows install with MS office and a few assorted apps will take up less than 64GB. But you would never try and run a modern PC with that little storage.
EDIT here's your 240gb SSD > https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-SS...6LZ42?th=1
it's $25
A 512GB M.2 will work for allot of users. I choose a 1TB Samsung 980 Pro for my system drive. I installed a couple of games and stuff on it and it's about half full after one year.

The people looking at an 8TB SSD aren't looking for a boot drive it's for bulk storage and games
I have two drives in my setup.
Win OS + apps sits separately.

SanDisk is better than PNY?
Second drive is 4TB. I don't do games though.

Close. Hardware manufacturers use terabytes (TB) as the unit of measurement. Operating systems, like Windows, use tebibytes (TiB) as their unit of measurement. One terabyte is 1,000 gigabytes. One tebibyte is 1,024 mebibytes. Operating systems measure in tebibytes, gibibytes, etc because computer code is based in binary (either 1 or 0), so everything is a power of 2. So one tebibyte is 2^40 bytes. Microsoft still labels them MB (or TB) instead of the correct MiB because by the time the distinction was made between the acronyms, everyone was already used to MB. Changing everything to MiB, TiB, etc in Windows would confuse the majority of their customers who aren't tech savvy.
