No idea, but it looks like it's got 4.5 stars with lots of reviews on amazon. I didn't pass on to one of the URLs that filters for bot/fake posts though.

If you happen to want two it makes them 280 each. Also the coupon can be used twice up to 500 off. SAME coupon works for Fikwok 4TB and ends up being $272. If you inspect coupon details you can see it can apply to various other tech items including NVME etc...

I have 3 of these. They can be a little unpredictable depending on the connection type. I have found they are most stable on macs but with the right setup you should be fine on any platform. They run on a local media server and still working fine after two years.

These drives use Chinese made NAND. No one knows if they are reliable because they haven't been on the market long enough. I'm not saying that automatically makes this brand worse than someone like micron, but we don't have a way of knowing. They can last 10 years or they may all die next year.

On the flip side, I'm cheering them on only because they add competitive pressure into a totally corrupt, price-gouging industry (who still pretend that A.I. data centers fully explain their greed).

On the other hand, I've had a KingSpec drive fail and their customer support was/is terrible.

I'd be extremely hesitant about Chinese NAND.

I'm using these as game storage not personal data drives. If it goes corrupt it's not like it's gonna matter all that much. Plus most of my save files are stored elsewhere anyway.

There is one Chinese nand manufacturer, YMTC.

Lexar, Acer, Teamgroup, Kingston source chips from them including Fanxiang and Netac.

I had 5-10 of their 250 GB NVMe drives die within the year. They were included in mini PCs.

There's been enough history of fake Chinese storage products over the decades that until enough people report them as working well, there could be a ton of scammers. Does anyone remember the old firmware where a much larger drive is advertised but if you write data to it, it overwrites its old data?

INFLATION. I got similar 4TB SATA SSD for $38 (yes, THIRTY EIGHT DOLLARS) in Jan 2025. Works absolutely fine. I also got NVMe 4TB for $29 in Dec 2023. LOL. See screenshots of the order.

I remember those posts! It was so cheap that I didn't get them. May be should have.
