Nice first post OP
Ordered 😃 (edited)
Lots of chatter about diminishing performance with these but it seems to centre around a Reddit post.
Don't want to miss out entirely for the sake of saving £1-2, lol.
SSDs are sort of maintaining their price because they have greater and easier numbers of use cases than NVME, which has price crashed as a format. And NVME has traditionally sold on specs, which means 'last year's model' suddenly becomes 'undesirable' even while having essentially the same performance as this year's model on the systems most people own.
The Crucial MX500 line is an example of flash evolution going wrong. Crucial fully expected the product to have been withdrawn years ago, and replaced with QLC devices (in which Crucial invested heavily). But SSD is limited to 500MB/s, so potential customers hated all the downsides of QLC over the much older TLC with DRAM. In SSD, QLC is associated with low rent rubbish. In NVME, QLC devices are now doing well.
TLC can also now be made on third hand fabs- inefficient in the one sense, but actually cheap even given the large die size per MB. In reality this is the fault of Intel, and the lousy SATA spec - all the PC bus structures come from Intel, were badly conceived in the first place, and are aging badly. It is now faster to connect your flash by USB rather than SATA, and that is just looney. NVME, like your GPU, sits on the aging and poorly designed PCIe bus. That bus has a very high bandwidth, but very poor direct memory access functionality - Intel is never ever forward thinking.
My experience with multiple Crucial QLC NVMe drives failing with less than 100TBW says otherwise...
the difference if I bought it a few days ago for a few quid more?
Contact CS through online chat and ask them if they'll refund you the difference, if they say no just tell them you'll return it and buy again at the lower price, sometimes that gets them to give you the refund instead. (edited)
