Another day, another NVMe deal. This is the lowest price I've ever seen this drive at, even lower than the Sillicon Power 512GB P34A80 which is usually seen as the "cheaper" version of this drive.
So, what differentiates this drive/deal from all the others posted recently? Apart from the solid performance, this drive comes with a whopping 800TBW of endurance on a 500GB class drive, the highest at this price point, and 33% higher than the Samsung 970 PRO, a drive that's 2x the price. This makes it perfect for write heavy workloads like scratch drives, NAS flash cache drives, and other workstation or server workloads. Combined with a 5 year warranty, this looks like the perfect drive for those eager for higher endurance drives.
Standard features:
- PCIe 3.0 x4 / NVMe 1.3
- Toshiba 64L TLC NAND
- 512MB DDR4 DRAM
- Phison E12 Controller
- 5 year warranty / 800TBW endurance
Mod Update 12/10: Price has decreased to $111.17
