Ordered and then cancelled after reading reviews on amazon, seems quite a few people reporting failures in the past 2 years, with several indicating a physical defect mentioning a popping sound

A solid middle of the road drive. I've had an alert for a 1tb 2.5" ssd for a while waiting for a sale just like this, just to have as a clone of my main PC's OS drive. This is perfect. Thanks

Thank You both for saving me the effort. I guess this is OK for someone willing to use this as a flash drive.

I would like to use this for backing up my PC. It'll be sitting in the closet mostly until I plug it back in weekly to do a file backup. Would this be good for that use?

Would this be a good SSD to upgrade a PS4 Pro?

Man, I normally take the bad reviews with a grain of salt... but reading thru several + just quick googling against WD SA510 SSD flaw and it's not comforting. If you buy this, ABSOLUTELY do the firmware check and upgrade immediately while within the return window. As always, make sure you have backups.

No. SSDs need occasional power on cycles or they forget their data due to capacitative discharge.

You're likely looking for a SSD backed HDD, or you can build your own using literally two SSD in RAID0 backed by a BIG HDD.

Nothing really wrong with that, dram only benefits writes not reads..
Also, It's $35

I use my old crucial MX500 1TB ssd in an enclosure sometimes doing the same thing. The challenge is this not having dram cache can be a problem if the backups are sizeable. The initial back up might be crazy slow after a short while.

Those crucial MX500 are gems - atleast the ones from 5 years ago that had internal capacitors. I think recently crucial started to cheapen up the MX500?
