    Great price! I got it for ~ $114 before tax.

    I've been running this as a PC game drive for a few months now. Very pleased with the read/write speeds.

    Imagine a year ago , if I said you can get two 2tb SSD card for 204 dollars! Amazing, that is 4TB total.

    Now, mostly I use these for short term storage, media stuff, scratch pad stuff... as a DATA SSD and have NVMe as MAIN OS.

    The other one 2tb drive for 104 is good too, it's a grade higher than the two 2tb model.

    I've done a lot of research lately on SATA SSDs, and this one should be just fine for gaming or any workload that's mostly read. The SLC cache on these drives doesn't keep up if you're writing tens of gigabytes regularly to the drive. In those workloads, MX500 is better (for example). Seriously considering putting six or eight of these in a RAID5 off an LSI 9265-8i or 9271-8i for a VM server.... but I am probably going to wait until Black Friday Smilie

    DRAM-less SATA SSDs like these will be terrible in NAS/server situations because they are very bad in random read/write situations compared to SSDs with DRAM. Don't confuse this with SLC cache used as write buffers. And they get worse as they fill up.

    The "up to" read write speeds are only reached under ideal sequential read write conditions where it reaches SATA limits. It is poor everywhere else.

    The only reasonable application for this (compared to other SSDs) is a "write once", "read sequentially many times" type of application like Archival storage, single stream media servers and to rescue old laptops with hard drives where any SSD would make a difference and you want to spend the absolute minimum.

    The Silicon Power SSDs in this price range have better reputation/reliability in user reviews. Typically about $5-$10 more than Team deals. Crucial MX500 with DRAM about $20 to $30 more when deals happen.

    I tried jumping on the Dramless bandwagon the last time these were on sale. I would caution folks that there are a lot of use cases these suck for.
    Seems like every time I'm installing anything or moving files to it, I see the speed plummet and then it ends up taking 10x as long as my older SSDs would.

    I guess if you had a static steam drive you never added games to, after what would be a brutally slow initial fill, that would be fine. Even then, you are justifying things like letting it run overnight which is counter to why I like SSDs to begin with.

    Dramless ain't for me, but maybe it's for you. Just be sure you understand how severe and frequently these won't operate like real SSDs.

    Not too likely as manufactures will fight it tooth and nail, but not impossible either. Little doubt that the price drops we are seeing now are just the start of a downward trend at the very least.
