All listed deals are expired, IMHO still a good deal if you need a good 2TB SSD.
True, but if you are watching for the deals or create alerts you'll be able to get a better deal than this in the next few weeks. Not a bad deal, but $40 difference is relatively significant.
And there I was thinking that the deal was okay, but there'd be discussion around the stores name.
rated at 1.5 million hours, so that's 171 years. Warranty only 5 years…
Yeah it’s kinda like how you’re only 95% sure it’s a fart but there’s a 5% chance that it’s actually poop
For a 5-year life span 1.5M hours MTBF (171 years) mean the probability of an error for a single drive is about 3% (1-e^-(5/171)). So, 3 out of 100 of those SSDs are expected to be @#$@# within 5 years.
MTBF is a pretty useless figure for us, since we need to figure out how to convert it to failure rate. Also, the failure rate does increase the longer you own the drive.
Is that anything to consider if using this with a PCI 4.0 compatible laptop?
Heat, as majority of high end PCIe gen 4 SSDs are designed more for performance. However, it really depends on what you do on the laptop. For gaming and general usage where you do more reads than writes, it's most likely fine.
Thanks.
It's on order from Lenovo and comes with a similar rated drive.
Interested since thought these pci Gen 4 d4ives could get very hot
Is this any good for PS5 or Xbox X
Can put it in a PS5 but you're meant to have a heatsink. you'll probably get away without having one though and you can buy one off amazon or ebay or etc.
No good for Xbox Series X/S, you have to buy proprietary Seagate memory card.
Thank you for letting us know I was actually considering getting an Xbox next year because I already have a PS5, but wow what a shock I just had a look and 1 TB is around $350-$400. I think I’ll pass until they make it nonproprietary or not get one at all
Yeah, it's gross. They say it's PCIE 4 but it's only two lanes so you're effectively paying $350 for a 1TB 3rd gen
Has been cheaper in recent weeks:
