I am waiting for either. I think both are great drives, not much of a difference between both to pay substantially more for one.

Yes, numerous sites incorrectly list the TBW as 360TB (which is applicable to the 1TB model). Ironically, the Relaxedtech link does have the correct TBW value but lists the wrong controller, DRAM,...

I see, as you and others noted, Crucial.com and Crucial's product flyers say 1000TBW for the 4TB model:

The original MX500 had 1GB DRAM per 1TB NAND. Only the 2TB model had 2GB DRAM. There wasn't even a 4TB model. The new version has 512MB DRAM, regardless of capacity. That means the 500GB version is...

def agree that HDD are overpriced (at least from my perspective), but I guess they are some-what of a niche product now-a-days. if you can afford to use 4TB ssds and that amount of storage space is...

Ok, out of curiosity I opened up one of the drives I received yesterday. It has 4x TLC chips (part MT29F8T08EWLEEM5-QA:E) and 1x 512 MB DDR3 (part MT41K256M16TW-107:P). So I think unless Micron is...

You're right - the DRAM cache has been lowered to 512MB. They've also lowered the terabytes written rating from 1000TBW (as listed on TechPowerUp for the TLC models) to 360TBW. According to a site...

Yeah I know. Half the price. But I think HDDs are overpriced currently. I paid $70 for a WD Red CMR replacement drive 2 years ago or so. HDD is tried and true for sure. But I'll also be backing it up...
