3000 TBW is actually for the 4TB ($285.00), the 2TB ones have 1200TBW (non-pro, $109.99) and 1400 TBW for the Pro version ($119.00).
Spec sheet says pro is only 1400 TBW. Don't know why they're giving out 2 very different numbers but based on their spec sheet the pro is hardly worth it.

Looking around the internet (Amazon, toms hardware, etc.) it looks like everywhere else lists it as 1400 TBW.
Get the Pro Version that has 300 TBW and has Drams for $9 more. Its well worth it

The best one is the OWC express 1M2. A bit expensive, but quality and support. $120. Huge heatsink. Comes with thermal pad.

I just tested a MSi spatium 470 with a cheapo enclosure (which I would not recommend) for $40. Got over 3000MB/s read write speed. The new ASM2464 are bringing enclosure priced down

Thanks, I thinking Acasis but will take a look at this one you mentioned,

You ever heard of hyperdrive or zike drive, saw some benchmarks that beat out the acasis?

Is it safe to say only go with ssd enclosures with a fan and not just a thermal pad?

I may video edit in the future as I learn with this but for now will forsure run a virtual machine with parallels and run some windows and Microsoft apps I need

I tried two ASM2464-based enclosure last year. They are super hot and unstable comparing the intel chipset. i had intel chipset NVME enclosure for 2 years and use it as boot drive of Mac Studio. They are rock solid and had never failed.

If you don't need it, makes sense not to but it

FYI, Western Digital 2TB SSD M.2 (PCIe 4) on sale for $109 through 4/22.
https://www.newegg.com/western-di...6820250253

But comparing the Toms Hardware benchmarks, the MSI is faster than the WD version with random reads.

So I canceled my Newegg Order, and bought this instead. I spent about 30 min on PC Partspicker, this is the best deal on a 2TB SSD M.2 form factor

What does ZFS have to do with this?

Yes, redundancy is important, but you're being myopic by neglecting the fact that mechanical storage is far more robust than NAND.

If you have to boil it down to one of each drive and try to recover data from each, the SSD is always going to be worse off.

There's a reason data centers still use tape for archival purposes.
I wish there were consumer tape drives for archive purposes.

Exactly. Price manipulation causing these to go up. I refuse to buy out of spite.

Its now $114.99 unless I am missing something.
$124.99 - $10 coupon = $114.99.
