sorted byeven though the SN570 is quoted at 3500 MB/s where this one is 2100 MB/s?
This is truly a mind field to work out best bang for buck
The SN570 once the SLC cache is used up it will slow down considerably.
Production of 2/4TB drives at the Kioxia plant all goes to WD (all WD/SanDisk SSD's are manufactured at the Kioxia plant).
The ssd shows no signal of being bad when i checked, the firmware was updated and motherboard was too, maybe i was just unlucky?
Just keep it in mind
you was yes. this is a faulty drive / hardware problem. the drive is fine for gaming / os usage. (edited)
Maybe consider all-in usb storage like amazon.co.uk/Cru…1_3
If you still want a case then I have a couple of these that I like, they work, and make adding thermal pad easier than sliding cases.

Great for budget/old build but slow compared to performance drives, and with low NVME prices you could get better for around double the price.
The only difference most people would notice is the extra £40 they spent
I've installed something like 40 of these drives and never had an issue. (edited)
Anyone use Linux laptop or desktop with these? I wonder if they resume from hibernate/suspend okay? As my Seagate 520 and Samsungs get stuck in powered down state, mean you need to do a full reboot. Tried on Arch and Debian. Cheers
sounds like a perfect mid ranger purchase. if i had the upper range CPU/GPU, i would probably spend the extra for a sammy
Reading/writing very large files would be a bit slower than most, but general performance is as good as any other in real world use, having DRAM cache helps it out a bit. (edited)
