  • Nice deal Op!

    For those with a laptop equipped laptop, check out the Samsung X5
    It is physically larger but has throughput of 2800MB/s

      I'm so glad I shelled out for the laptop equipped laptop. The laptop free one just wasn't the same.

      I don't recommend homeopathic computing!

      • Wait until foldable laptops become a thing, those will unfold into… a laptop!

      It's just the store link, you need an education account to be able to see it

  • Do they have normal SSDs?
    If so, how much is the 4TB 860 EVO?

    • I didn't see a 4TB SSD, but saw a 250GB one…. My mistake there is: The pro is $1228 and the evo is $863.20….

      • Thanks!

    Whoa they even have a 512GB card now $174….

    • That's a good price for 512GB on your fingernail

    Also supposedly these T5 drives is really just a mSATA SSD hooked to a USB adapter…..so if you could …..somehow disassemble them and take out the mSATA drive you could chuck it in a lappy that is new but still old enough that it doesn't have the new M.2 interfaces you would get the biggest mSATA drive there is to date, until someone release a bigger one…for mSATA users……

        …it's only two screws……at least according to that article review…

        I might actually get one or two and RAID them if I get two, if this is the lowest it has been, after dismantling them of course…need a serious upgrade from 128GB…..

        • You might want to check a couple of things first. In my case my system only supports up to 240gb SSD, and my spare slot does not support a secondary SSD so no raid.

            @MuddyClear: Perhaps your system was only tested up to 240GB drives and they didn't bother testing bigger ones? In my case had certified up to 512GB drives but 1TB drives work fine, so if they would fine, 2TB should also work fine - the only limiting factor would be the LBA which is 48-bit but we have no such drives that big anyways(2^48 × 512 bytes so about 128 PiB or approximately 144.1PB) so it shouldn't matter; if it doesn't work, can always just refund or sell it…..or use as it's intended advertised…as an external storage device…

            • @Zachary: Let me know how it works out for you

              • @MuddyClear: I was actually gonna go and do that for science! …then today found out they're out of stock…..

          • @MuddyClear: That is like the first generation of DDR3 motherboards that say they only support 16GB of RAM (because 8GB sticks didn't exist) but will happily take 32GB once the memory was released. If your system supports 240GB it will support larger no worries as long as the interface is physically the same.

            • @Agret:

              Well yeah basically at least in regards to storage space so far…I had a 2006 desktop that originally had one 80GB drive, gave it a 3TB on top of the 80GB drive, and it still works because they both use the same SATA connection and it just so happens I had a spare SATA port open….

              As for memory sticks, I hazard a guess the manufacturer of the mainboard decided to hard cap the memory size, for whatever reasons…..if they didn't, I reckon any sticks that use the same slot type should work….
