NeweggDeal Details
Nextorage just released 4TB versions of some of their SSDs for sale on Newegg, according to Tom's Hardware [tomshardware.com]. Prices should run through March 10, although the C version is already earlier and lower than projected, so take with a grain of salt.
Specs say these are DRAM-less, TLC, four-channel, and single-sided. (Not 100% sure about the C version, but one of the images seems to say it just has a bigger heatsink than B.)
The G LE version looks like a good competitor to Samsung's 990 Evo Plus if you want 4TB of TLC in a laptop. Most of the alternatives seem to have one catch or another, whether it's being double-sided, 8-channel, hotter, QLC bait-and-switch, pricier, weird caching behavior, etc. Nextorage was part of Sony and now Phison, which seems like a pretty reputable pedigree.
I managed to find a detailed Japanese review of the 2TB G LE [jisakuhibi.jp]. Run it through Google Translate and/or look at the benchmarks. One notable drawback: the SLC cache seems to be fixed at a relatively small 50GB (at least on the 2TB model), after which sequential writing drops from 6GB/s to 1.4 GB/s.
- $250 G LE version [newegg.com] with no heatsink. Nextorage's English product page [nextorage.net] doesn't spec the 4TB version yet, but the Japanese page [nextorage.net] has it.
- $250 NEM-PAC version [newegg.com] with heatsink
- $300 NEM-PAB version [newegg.com] with heatsink. Not sure why this one is marginally slower but more-expensive than the C version. Also see Nextorage's product page [nextorage.net]. Oddly, they don't have a page for the C version.

Plus I like how they openly specify they're using TLC. Too many brands like to keep things vague so they can do a quiet switcheroo later.

Notably, the 2TB version used the same controller and flash as the Nextorage 2TB, with the same ~50GB cache behavior in a Tom's Hardware review [tomshardware.com]. So it's possible the 4TB versions are comparable, in which case $240 is better than $250. Plus, well, Corsair is a better-known brand.

"In addition, up to 2GB* of DDR4 DRAM is installed to achieve both high speed and stability."
Since the actual product webpage says dramless kinda makes this meh. Only pro I see now is TBW is higher than the 990 evo plus, which was the same price until a few days ago. It was yesterdays shell shocker and stayed the same price 😂
I have a $60 credit to Newegg expiring in a few days and wanted a reliable 4tb drive, any suggestions?
