  First time 500GB SSD below $100. I don't really need another SSD but I'm tempted…

    I doubt the price go up anytime soon, NAND is in oversupply unlike DRAM. Buy it only when you need it.

    Just beware that this is a DRAMless 3D QLC SSD. Deep queue random mixed I/O will disappoint. Comparison with Crucial MX500 (DRAM 3D TLC).

        RAM manufacturers collude with each other to slow down production and drive up prices.

          @scrimshaw: The free market delivers a terrible outcome again and government has to sue them to lower prices while explaining that the free market delivers low prices out of the other side of it's mouth for idiots.

      According to TechPowerUp these are TLC, not QLC. Early speculation was they they would be QLC but that turned out to not be the case.

        Thanks for the update. TLC makes the BX500 an acceptable buy than if it is QLC.

    For reading both are fast, for writing large files mx is faster but most files are for average users usually less than 4 gb and the bx does stuff in the controller so small files dont suffer …

  This or the Samsung 860's in an older laptop?

    Further to this, reckon this would be good for revamping a mid 2010 MacBook Pro?

    For an older laptop, get whichever is cheaper - the SATA interface is likely going to be your bottle neck here - any performance difference between the drives themselves will be hidden from you.

    EDIT: Probably applies to the MBP above, too.

  Trying to apply this code and getting "We ran into a problem. Please try again later."

  Does that mean it's expired? Apparently the 9th. Hrmmphh.
