PRO is misleading. It's a budget SSD. Looks like QLC. Rather than that it's an ok drive.

Thanks. I just copied and pasted, and enhanced the title a little. Might as well give members the info they need up front.

Same price on NewEgg and Walmart. I bet that is about the PHISON controller.

Can you please provide your link to specs saying QLC?
QLC drive does not come with 5yrs warranty.

Quad or Triple Level Cell are types of NAND (what stores stuff in SSDs). Net is that TLC is standard, but more expensive. You can write to it a LOT more than QLC. QLC is much slower, but a piece of cache can mask the speed).

QLC has its place - if you write stuff to it ONCE and everyone reads it, there is benefit, but that's about it.

people underestimate the life of qlc 640tbw. if you write 100gb a day it will need over 17 years to get to 640tbw. but of course TLC is always the better option

From my understanding, the SSD manufacturers were using an engineering preview firmware instead of final release. Can we update the firmware using an external enclosure? Grabbed thisyesterday.

idk about that, sorry.
I am interested about why people call out this as QLC drive. I could not find any info on that.

Agreed, but the 5 year warranty caught me off-guard. Here's what it says:

5-YEAR WARRANTY

MSI stands by the quality and reliability of the SPATIUM SSDs with a 5-Year comprehensive warranty.
*Warranty coverage lasts up to 5 years or until the TBW in the product specification is met, whichever happens first.

It's rated for Up to 640 TBW

It's 2 tb for $99, I hate when cheap bastards complain about the price while wanting the top of the line specs. It's $99 bucks man, theres place for this drive in people's computers for storage.

Well, therefore I said it's an OK deal. There is a recent $105 deal for SN5000 and $114 EPP deal for TLC 990 EVO. Saving $6 doesn't seem mind-blowing...

Manufacturers hide that drive is QLC quite often. But you can estimate by TBW.
