sorted byReviews of early/smaller capacity SSD320S drive show it has having DRAM cache, Micron TLC NAND, and the Silicon Motion SM2258 controller.
Basically, it looks like a re-branded Crucial MX500 (and that's a good thing).
Yes, it may be old tech, but that doesn't make it bad (I have a 10 year old Corsair SATA SSD that's still chugging along just fine).
My 3+ year old 1TB MX500 has been constantly hammered with video editing since purchase, and that's still going strong too.
EDIT:
Bit the bullet and ordered.
UPDATE:
As expected, it performs pretty much the same as the MX500 it now sits next to.
Gone back up in price though, was £183 until an hour ago. Hopefully it comes back down again. (edited)
But waiting for magic £150
Wouldn't choose the 870QVO over this. (edited)
