    1920GB for an SSD (internal, or otherwise), is an odd capacity?

    In a 'similar' vain, you don't get such in the pen drive 'world'.

    Eg. 5GB, or 7GB pen drives, instead of either 4GB, or 8GB instead - or for that matter, 115GB, or 125GB pen drives, as opposed to 64GB, or 128GB instead, as well as ...

    And pen drives, and SSD's are built upon the same tech - if not arguably the exact same tech altogether, etc.

    Simply put, how is it that one is able to buy a 120GB SSD drive off the bat, but, to date (that is), you're STILL unable to buy yourself an 120GB pen drive for the sake of it?

    Maybe it's just me but, I thought the binary 8Bit rule's still applied, regardless, etc?

    Or ...

    I'm a bit Confused.com me, hehehe.

    "And pen drives, and SSD's are built upon the same tech - if not arguably the exact same tech altogether, etc"

    They are not the same tech, or at least not the same design philosophy. SSDs always reserve spare capacity to subsitutue cells that fail over time - so in reality that 1920GB drive is probably 8x256GB chips, with 128GB reserved as spare capacity. Pen drives don't do that, because typically they don't see anywhere near as much use as proper SSDs - these should work fine even after 100TB written to them, a typical pen drive would fail long before that point.

    Here's an interesting fact for those that might question this brand. Another well regarded brand giant, joins Samsung, in having their expensive high end flash solutions proven inherently faulty. SanDisk is in the midst of a terrible flash scandal.

    The truth about high-tech is that time and use proves quality, NOT expensive PR campaigns. Apple, for instance, has the (purposely) worst quality of manufacturing, to ensure their gear, once out of warranty, will likely require either VERY expensive repair or replacement.

    This Lexar SSD will use the cheapest flash made in a third-hand fabrication factory. But so long as the tech is well tested, and the controller and firmware sound (which is likely, since they will use untweaked reference code, and a long established chip), it should be quite reliable.

    So, is it good or not, your post isn't entirely clear...

    These price drops are getting bizarre.
    Is this fueled by the deflation hitting China atm, or just over production & market saturation? (edited)

    Oversupply. Plenty of articles online about this.

    Amazing price. I feel mugged looking back at my Amazon order history.

    Apologies Frankie , two different models, capacity and slightly some features too.
  7. stamfordblue's avatar
    What a price.Not so long ago you'd be looking at 1TB for £50.

    Given that I'm not desperate for storage (think I'm good for a while!), and this is QLC, probably best to hold out for TLC drives at this price?
    greentiger's avatar
    If you don't need it in the next ~month then don't buy it, regardless of the whole TLC / QLC thing (which is a bit overblown IMO, but still...).

    Surely it makes more sense to wait until you do (and it will almost certainly be cheaper!). Prices are still decreasing and supposedly will continue to do so.
  9. The.Fat.Cat's avatar
    Obviously QLC and DRAM-less, but it's hard to argue at the price.
    That review is just a little bit suspect (added by a mod I presume), one of the 'Pro's was the endurance, which is odd seeing as it's a low endurance QLC drive.

    Personally I'd spend £8 more on a TLC drive -

    Not fast but would make for a brilliant jailbroken PS3 drive. Feels crazy to think my 1TB SSD at this price was considered crazy hot little more than a year ago!

    I am looking to buy one for my Ps4 pro.

    Anyone want to hazard a guess when ssd prices will reach parity on per GB basis with hdd?
    plewis00's avatar
    Not sure they will, we are already at 2:1 in the sweet spot, but hard disks will probably always have their place for large mass storage especially at the high end.

    £70 for the4tb and I am in
    Affray's avatar
    Are you sure, I didn't think they made a 4TB version.

    Weird It's hard to find a review on the 1920GB model, must be new.
    Gkains's avatar
    And the warnings on TPU's SSD database indicate that even the 960GB is a lottery in terms of flash/controllers:

    I remember buying 250GB for £75 only a couple years ago... how times have changed. (edited)
    yankee_b's avatar
    It's not about time change but people rushing to buy rather than wait for a bit for price to drop

    I have so many ssd drives i use them with a usb c to sata cable rather than thumb drives
  17. chach13's avatar
    Will this work in a PS4?
  18. zebz001's avatar
    Any good deals for sata m.2 ssd? Thanks
    The.Fat.Cat's avatar
    They tend to be overpriced due to lack of competition.
    What capacity are you after?
