  It's disappointing to see storage companies shy away from MLC. I understand why consumer grade SLC doesn't exist but surely we can't keep going backwards. I'd rather get a velociraptor than a qlc ssd

    Yeah. I'd go a MX500 for ~$50 more if I wanted it to last.

      Are you looking for 30 year service life or something ?

      These offer way way more endurance than a "normal" home user will ever need.

      Just looking at the closest server to me right now, the OS has been running 24/7 for the past 5 years - total power on hours for the OS SSD is 1782 days and 20 hours.

      This server does plenty of things 24/7 - and the total drive writes to the OS SSD in the past five years, totals just 20.87TB.

      The 1.92TB drive in this deal has a TBW rating of 800TB !

      Lifespan of these budget drives is absolutely not an issue for "normal" use.

    TLC is the best value option. (2-bit) MLC hasn’t been used in consumer drives for a long time. QLC is crap but for a cheap storage drive that you occasional writes and mostly reads (like a game drive), it’s fine for the price

    That's just stupid, the old velociraptor drives are many times slower at random access than even the crappiest SSD.

    See my other post just above - the rated lifespan of these budget drives is still way way more than a normal user will ever need.

    If you have a specific niche high-write usage in mind, then you know that you need to buy a drive that isn't this one…

  Would the be good for a PS4 pro?

    FireRunner on 13/10/2022 - 17:32

    I’d get something better quality. MX500 is probably the best option

    I'd get this because it's cheap, and it's a great choice for a gaming drive. It'll pair just fine with a PS4 Pro.

    You won't really gain anything by choosing a higher class of drive…
