sorted byI notice a load of the 'deals' are basically what they were very recently.
Now let's see if there's any decent 4TB NVME deals to come...
BTW the crucial (P3plus m.2 4tb) series seems to be a real let down for me, after the initial burst speed, the write speed goes down to 90mb, so stick to TLC drives or this one which is qlc but at least has a sustain of 160Mb/s after the cache is used.
haven't installed them yet... was going to do RAID1 for data redundancy
wouldn't mind 2x 8TB QVO 870 instead (RAID1)
Any drawbacks or reasons I shouldn't?
EDIT: I misremembered the cashback amount! (edited)
Honestly surprised that it’s dropped that low given that the competition is nowhere near.
Not worried about TBW due to the use case, and fingers crossed I don’t have any other issues.
I would never want to use a QLC drive as a system drive of course.
Heat, btw!
[EDIT: the Sabrent adapters I’ve been sent do not work with USB 3.1 gen 2 ports (not just that they’re gen 1 speeds, they flat out don’t work with newer ports)! - it seems there is an updated model in blue packaging, and the ones I have in white packaging are the problem. I’m seeing if I can get replacements from Sabrent, as obvs I can’t just buy more of the duff stock from Amazon).
Then with today's purchase I've bought a couple of the Sabrent 3.1 gen 2 SATA adapters (ie there's no case), currently £12.74 on Amazon.
I'd link you to them, but I don't understand what I am or am not allowed to link to on here :/ (edited)
