For PC use this is better despite less lower speeds the endurance is much better but its not PS5 compatible

Their Z440 2TB is $120 on Amazon and has much higher TBW (3600 vs 1400) but no included heatsink.

The thermal-spreading 'graphene' sticker/label, is all that is "needed".
-Adding in active airflow around/over the drive and/or the thermal mass of the Heat Sink, will extend full-load endurance...

When gaming equipment starts getting this expensive, I think that I’d rather go do the real thing.

It is very common for the PCIeNAND Controller on NVMe devices to use unused TLC (or QLC) NAND 'as SLC'. SLC being 'faster' than TLC (or QLC), but slower than DRAM, allows it to work as an...

Why does it say both SLC and TLC?
Is this SLC or TLC?

I wouldn't trust with SD card either. I've had old Adata and more recently 32 and 128gb microcenter cards fail, but those were in security cameras so i don't care much. I've switched to samsung and...

I had a 128GB micro SD card from them a couple years ago that was not only slow, but completely corrupted all the data I put on it. Yeah I'm not trusting them again. Fool me once.

I remember 1 or 2gb SD card died 10-15 yrs ago or so. I never touched this brand again. Now i run their cheap ddr4 ram for 3 months in my new build. Seems ok.

Not bad for a higher-performing gen4 drive w/ DRAM cache.
Not a huge 'value add' but: the graphene-imbued 'heat spreading' sticker, really does work. I bought some copper-graphene 'adhesive...
