  This is an amazing price for secondary SSD (e.g. for a Steam drive).

      Not at all, Netac are a reputable brand. While this SSD is definitely fast it won't be on the same level as a Samsung 860 for example that costs ~$200. It's a good cheaper alternative.

  Very tempting to replace my ageing Sandisk Extreme as a Steam drive. I don't suppose that anyone has any experience with this brand though…? It's a fair discount on a name brand though. Decisions, decisions.

  ChickenAdobo on 15/11/2018 - 22:01

  What this brand? Reputable or not? Anyone please chime. I want to replace all my mechanical HDD with SSD.

    Netac scored themselves their own Wikipedia page so they're definitely more reputable than the other cheap brands floating about.

      Which opens with "the company claims to have invented the USB flash drive."

      "Netac Technology has brought lawsuits against PNY Technologies,[12] Lenovo,[13] aigo,[14] Sony,[15][16][17] and Taiwan's Acer and Tai Guen Enterprise Co"

        CSIRO did the exact same thing with their WiFI patent. Except they targeted a lot more…

          @Clear: Looks like theyve actually won some of the suits and settled for others. Interesting. Very interesting.

            @cheesecactus: Yep. Both Netac and CSIRO have had successful wins and settlements on patent cases. 😊

  So how does the speed of a 1TB drive compare to speed of lower capacity drives? Any difference worth mentioning? Might upgrade my C: drive if a known brand gets down to this level.

  Cheers

    not sure for this particular model or brand, but as a general rule, larger capacities tend to have slightly better performance for the same model line.

  Can someone run a crystal mark of this drive when they get it? I want to see if they improved on the random reads/writes from 430G model I have:-
