    For anyone who is wondering about the NAND Flash used inside the SSD. According to promotional info provided by Ramsta it's using SK hynix TLC flash.

    • macrocephalic on 20/04/2018 - 21:35

      I assume that's good?

      I know Hynix make decent ram (it's in the HP enterprise servers that work buys) but I have no idea what their TLC flash is like.

      • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 21/04/2018 - 01:31
        +2

        That's good as there are brands out there that recycle not up to scratch chips from other manufacturers. Reviews for other SK hynix drives have been good.

        • 4wd on 21/04/2018 - 15:42

          Looks like a Silicon Motion SM2256K controller with Samsung cache judging by the image on the site.

          @4wd: I believe it's a Silicon Motion SM2256AB to be exact.

        • 4wd on 21/04/2018 - 16:15

          @Clear: Ah yes, SM2256K AB … missed the extra letters.

          Screw it, I think I'll have to jump on this one :)

    you can also buy a Ramsta at IKEA https://www.ikea.com/au/en/catalog/products/20204336/

    • megadeth on 23/04/2018 - 22:01

      Swedish vs Chinese.. Not firing any shots here… i get the impression that the word means 'durable' in Chinese…

  • xev on 20/04/2018 - 21:50

    Thanks Clear, I would totally buy that Thermometer but I'm not sure I have anywhere to put it.

    Holy shit this blows the previous best SSD price (measured by GB per $) out of the water … $4.22 vs $5.22 GB per dollar!

      Yup I don't think anything has ever been this low before. It's a shame more people don't like it!

      • Bargain4Days on 21/04/2018 - 01:31
        +3

        I think it's mostly because it's a generic/uknown brand

        • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 21/04/2018 - 01:33
          +3

          That would be it. At least in this case Ramsta have disclosed what they're using.

        • Bargain4Days on 21/04/2018 - 01:34

          @Clear: what's warranty going to be like though? Through you guys or ramsta?

        • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 21/04/2018 - 01:36
          +3

          @Bargain4Days: It would be through GeekBuying. Ramsta have their own warranty too which should make it easier for Geek.

        • Bargain4Days on 21/04/2018 - 01:37

          @Clear:Sweet, tempted to get this, but how long is warranty from you guys?

        • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 21/04/2018 - 01:38

          @Bargain4Days: I'd have to double check with Geek but it's usually 12 months.

        • Bargain4Days on 21/04/2018 - 01:40

          @Clear: cool, will be awaiting your reply, thanks for the quick response

    Will buy the thermometer if AUD 25 or below

  • Meije on 21/04/2018 - 10:11

    Will a SATA SSD be fast enough in an external enclosure to edit 4k videos from?

    • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 21/04/2018 - 11:32

      If you use a standard USB 3.0 enclosure it's going to be your bottleneck. If your computer has USB-C then a USB-C enclosure should work well enough.

      • dontpanic on 21/04/2018 - 12:16

        Just to clarify that comment, USB3 would be the bottleneck, not the drive. Assuming the drive speeds are as advertised.

        • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 21/04/2018 - 12:41

          That's what I meant. USB 3.0 will be the bottleneck and using a USB-C enclosure will be faster.

      • Meije on 21/04/2018 - 15:11

        Thanks, so this USB-C 3.1 enclosure should allow the drive to perform at full speed right? https://m.ebay.com.au/itm/USB-3-1-Type-C-To-2-5-SATA3-0-HDD-…

        • AlexF on 21/04/2018 - 16:14

          There are two "Generations" of USB 3.1 - 3.1 Gen 1 is not faster than 3.0.

    I ordered the SSD - going to use it as my steam drive so not too big a deal if it dies!

  • Dennis95 on 21/04/2018 - 14:22

    What is the TBW on the SSD?

  • zrmx on 21/04/2018 - 16:09

    Okay price for the SSD (it sells for CNY499 on JD.com, in China, ~AU$102-105 with current exchange rates).

    Ramsta is a sister brand of Tigo/KingTiger, a Chinese brand that has been around since 2005 and serves mainly the Chinese market. It is considered as a low end brand, performance consistency and reliability can be hit and miss (dependent on the controller chipset and NAND used), but not at the level of comes-out-of-nowhere-and-then-disappear brand.

    • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 21/04/2018 - 16:26

      Do you have a source on Ramsta being a part of Tigo?

      • zrmx on 21/04/2018 - 17:14

        http://minipower.zol.com.cn/topic/3268174.html (it is Chinese though)

        The article dates back to 2012, so I am not sure if the company structure is still the same.

        According to the article, Ramsta is established by Newlystar (钜鑫), http://www.globalsources.com/si/AS/Newlystar-International/6… , who also owns Kimtigo/Tigo/KingTiger. So I wouldn't say it is part of Tigo, but a sister brand of Tigo (and various Chinese sites have looked at the products and find some of the portfolio very similar, if not rebranded, to Tigo products in similar categories).

        • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 21/04/2018 - 17:23

          Perfect thanks. I'd be confident in saying they're still under the same group. Just like many of our favourites stores here on OzB.

  • Ry009 on 25/04/2018 - 10:05

    Doing a noob PC gaming build, would a Ramsta be worth the risk for game storage?

      There is a national holiday in China at the moment due to Labour Day. If you can send me your order number I can follow up when they're back tomorrow or Wednesday.

    • saty1296 on 01/05/2018 - 22:43

      They have not even decided to ship my order yet. What a disgraceful shipping service with so many positive votes.

      • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 01/05/2018 - 22:44

        Processing time is advertised as 2-7 business days. If there hadn't been a national holiday in China it would have shipped by now.

        • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 02/05/2018 - 06:23

          @saty1296: For starters there is no need to be rude. I do this as a side hobby in my spare time so I'm not a Geek employee.

          It's stated at checkout and also in the shipping guide:
          https://www.geekbuying.com/help/payment_and_shipping/shippin…

          Unfortunately this is something you have to accept when buying from China to save a few dollars. Things will take a little extra time to arrive.

        • saty1296 on 02/05/2018 - 06:51

          @Clear: Please accept my sincere apology. My comments above are not directed at you. If you feel offended, I am very sorry about that. I am just trying to learn about Geekbuying shipping times, it is my poor knowledge about Geekbuying for being a first timer. I did not think that you are a Geekbuying employee. Most other Chinese stores that I have dealt with on Ebay and through their normal websites have been far quicker in shipping my orders so far.

      I don't have my Orico 2139U3 handy but I just tested an 11.4GB file with the Orico 2588US3 and it maxed out around 105MB/s and seemed to average around 95MB/s.
