Massive performance drops in some cases. You shouldn’t buy this.

Sounds then like they either inflated their original endurance ratings or changed the % of overprovisioning for endurance. Chia is irrelevant. 3000 TB of written for chia is not worse than 3000 TB of...

You can always just return it to bestbuy for a refund if it doesn't work up to expectations.

It’s only once the cache is spent then it’s slow right?

No. The issue here is a different controller. The original one (three years ago?) had the better controller.
Today, it is a crap-shoot if you get the better one or not.

You can speculate all you want with no proof and I think that is fine as long as one states it as their conjecture or suspicion rather than as some known fact like the other poster did. That was...

False information. Stop embellishing.
They reduced the endurance rating which is like reducing warranty period. There is no evidence that they changed anything in components or that it had any...

I have not see anybody do a side by side of both controllers with the same test but the performance is basically tied to the slower clock controller. You can only infer from its relative testing with...

PNY did something similar with their XLR8 CS3030. Sent the launch product to reviewers with great drive endurance ratings. After the positive reviews came in and the sales were good, they downgraded...

Bah, I'll just wait until BF. This was just a luxury, 2nd drive type of deal for me. Got a 970 Evo Plus for a similar price after cash back and discounts last year.

I bought one from my local Best Buy and it has the much slower SM2262G controller. I have emailed Adata CS to see if they can RMA this one and ship me one with the SM2262EN controller.
