While I agree with the sentiment and am quite skeptical of these drives, I'm not sure how many good alternatives there are. The Samsung 870 EVO is leagues better but costs substantially more. The Crucial BX500 is absolute garbage and I'd recommend avoiding it like the plague. The Team Group QX has reviews scary enough that they should only be allowed out on Halloween, and the Vulcan Z tends to have its own problems. Unfortunately, it's becoming very difficult to find decent SATA SSDs.



Amazon has no say on the warranty terms. That's up to the manufacturer.



I think that's highly likely.

Wayy overpriced these are sub $90 in shenzhen china. Also lots of forum complaints about orico drives failing after a few months. Probably spend a couple extra bucks and go with more reliable brands like Teamgroup, Crucial, Samsung etc and let me guess you have to ship back to china on your own dime if anything goes wrong.

If it dies within the Amazon return period, no. You just say "it died, gimme my prime return" and take it to the UPS Store.
If it dies AFTER that, then yeah. You're dealing with Orico's warranty/return program, which speaking from experience… oof.

Thanks for posting this OP Smilie .. I do find myself wondering if it's best as a secondary drive as opposed to the one you have Windows on, maybe for file storage?... This reviewer had some concerns

https://www.coburnsdomain.com/202...y-at-best/

google AI (good bot Smilie ) had some good and bad things to say about it

https://www.google.com/search?q=o...e&ie=UTF-8

these reddit folks had some doubts

https://www.reddit.com/r/synology...ia_server/

on the other hand the "better" 2.5 form factor ssd drives will of course be more expensive so - you get what you pay for I guess Smilie

That and honestly when I did some checking it's hard to find the "good" 2.5 ssd drives for sale in terms of say "sold and shipped by amazon" for example anymore, the emphasis more is on m2 drives

Would Amazon make you send this back to China under the warranty term?

Yep, can confirm. I've had a couple that I've had good luck with, but others that went south pretty quick, ESPECIALLY the larger ones. (Which, of course, are the ones that make it easier to lose a whole bunch of stuff all at once when it craps out.)

Works fine as secondary dump drive, lacks dram and no hmb so would not use as boot obviously. Best buy refurb samsungs are better for more important stuff.

I have a couple as scratch disks and they work fine, obviously not speed demons but for stuff like media it doesn't matter.

If it wasnt for the fact that I question if this drive is nothing more than a bunch of USB drives stripped down and crammed in here I would say this is a good price.

That said I feel like all these sata drives need to be cheaper, it's not like they need the high speed interface or memory

I guess I'm just grateful that the prices are starting to come down. !67 dollars for 4TB SSD is heading in the right direction.

I just picked up a seagate 26TB external drive for 237 dollars within the last week. So I will pass today on this drive.

Also Amazon prime day is in less than 10 days away. I can wait to see what other drives are on sale.

It comes from a more established brand, so I'm fairly certain you won't be receiving a bunch of USB drives. It's probably QLC though.

I'm starting to suspect that Orico has employees or paid reviewers flooding the reviews and deal sites; it's just nonstop spam. Their products are honestly just cheap garbage.

Agreed, I don't know where these 4tb SSDs from "reiliable brands for a few dollars more" are coming from... It's probably up his bum more likely.

SATA drive at NVME price?? This junk should be at $90 like the rest of Chinese ssd sata drive.
Who would buy SATA drive nowadays where most MB have NVME port?
