  • Link doesn't work.

      • The link appears to be working now. It was 404'ing before.

        Was link ever actually employed?

        • Didn't he clear or plough a field in Link to the past, for cold hard rupees? He's certainly been 'tasked' for reward.

    • Not under formal employment, but he's saved Hyrule more times than most people can count.

    Why would you out this into your M2 slot given you typically only have 1 or 2? If you need something if this size and performance, a regular SATA would suffice?

    • This is only good if you looking to make your start time faster by installing windows otherwise not useful for storage

        make your start time faster

        Hardly any difference to a standard SSD.

        • +3

          I agree. But for $29 a pop those aren't that bad.

      • So there's a speed difference between this and a 2.5" ssd?

        • -2

          Yes, SATA SSDs have a maximum speed of ~500 MB/s, while M.2 PCIe cards can hit 3-4 GB/s. Real world speed isn't noticeable for most people though and this Green drive probably won't reach anywhere near there.

          • @Hybroid: These drives do about 100MBs average writes, the drive would max out before the interface.

            I guess my point is something like this; inhttps://www.centrecom.com.au/western-digital-wd-green-120gb-3d-nand-ssd-wds120g2g0a?gclid=CjwKCAjwxqX4BRBhEiwAYtJX7fYNh0L2XZfXw9XUvkAEsXClwZVH-eO9s2cuNYT7exlhhRs-A5sQJBoCzvgQAvD_BwE

            Free up the M2 for an nvme

            @Hybroid: This is a sata drive, so the question is between two identical sata drives of different form factors. Apologies if it wasn't clear.

            • -5

              @jp1011: The drive can be placed into a PCIe card for faster interface but as mentioned above, probably won't yield much benefit.

          • @Hybroid: Yeah this is no difference in performance than a 2.5" SSD. The only advantage is if you have a system which only takes SATA based M.2 SSD or you just don't want to use SATA cables.

          • @Hybroid: This one is a SATA SSD over M.2 connection, so no speed difference.
            NVMe drives over M.2 are faster if the slot on your motherboard supports NVMe.

      Sufficient for many NAS units as a cache drive.

      • +2

        Check your NAS drive to make sure it supports SATA SSD, some only support NVMe

    • I have a 2TB super fast one for windows and apps, and I leave about 1TB free for scratch disk. And another 1TB nvme drive, crucial P1, which I use just for OneDrive because that's where all project files go. With the gigabit connection to MS servers this solution is great, saves precious seconds and I don't have to hear the hard drive spin up anymore whenever I click OneDrive.

    • I want one for my raspberry pi. I just need the cheapest option lol.

    • Good for an office PC. No data storage and limited programs needed.

  • Same price at centrecom and you can do free collect

    • you can do free collect at umart too.

  • Has anyone put one of these into a case, to make a portable SSD? How did it go?

    Case like this one, it looks a long USB drive:

      I've put the 480gb/500gb blue version in a silverstone MS09 and it works great as a slightly larger fast thumb drive

  • All the ssds on the site seem to be on sale as well as adapters and external ssds.

    • You can get it for less than that price at other retailers.

  • Umart closed most pickup stores in NSW -_-

  • +1

    "+ Delivery" is what ruins it for me, now it's the same price as many other stores. Good to note the SATA one is also at the same price.

  • I think it was $19 last November according to Price Hipster.

    • I'm picturing Cher straddling a Mark 7.

  • In what world does this drive have a RRP of $99 as the link?

  • Any 2.5" equiv ones?
