  With Prime - FF not too bad.
  Seems to be the average market price otherwise.

  When did these things call sub $100. I've clearly been living under a rock!

    Fine but it would largely depend on what you were using before as to whether you’d notice anything or not.

    I just had a look at c3 and the lowest is $99. When and where was it for $84?

  • 

    ihfree on 28/01/2023 - 22:04

    $91.83 looks like the lowest deal. Was the $84 easily obtainable?

      Via Amazon UK - maybe needed to buy 2 to get a 10% discount?

      • 

        ihfree on 28/01/2023 - 22:13

        Ahh yeah, $82.65 when purchasing two from first comment on the old Amazon UK deal.

        It's always nice having some additional context around these claims to help with decisions. Way to often they are unobtainable, have 67 steps, have account credit or gift cards involved.

    NV2, there is a risk that you ended up getting the QLC version. Also, Amazon's version is likely the SM2267XT version. It terms of performance, SN570 is generally faster. However, I do want to try out the newer SN570 1TB. If it is anything like the newer 2TB version of SN570, it would be quite interesting.

    NV2 1TB, if you ended up getting the TLC version, then it does get interesting. NV2 does support PCIe gen 4 and is technically the cheapest SSD you can get for PS5 (it's below the recommended specs, but PS5 still allows it). The 3 year warranty is not as good as SN570's 5 years, hence it's cheaper.

    The biggest issue with NV2 is that when SN570 was heavily discounted, it was around $91 for 1TB. If you intend to use it for PCIe gen 3, SN570 is better.

      Larsson on 29/01/2023 - 00:04

      Wait why is SN570 better for PCIe Gen3, I didn’t catch that?

      Also how do I know I am getting the TLC or QLC version of the NV2 please?

        SN570 is better for PCIe gen 3 due to the controller used. It is an WD proprietary controller which has higher SLC cache speed and overall better performance. NV2's SM2267XT performance is a little bit inconsistent.

        To tell whether you have TLC or QLC version of the NV2, you need to run an utility to check the NAND type.

        For Amazon ones, try the following first:
        http://vlo.name:3000/tmph/smi_nvme_flash_id.rar

        For ones purchased from a local store, try the following one:
        http://vlo.name:3000/tmph/phison_nvme_flash_id2.rar

        If the one you tried doesn't work, try the other one. The issue with NV2 is Kingston has changed the controller and the NAND. While I was aware of 4 combinations, Tom's Hardware reported there are actually 6 already.

    Cheers. I bought this one instead. The price is reduced to $85 now.

  one day we will see these prices but a 4tb sized one

    LOL - even a decent 4TB HDD costs $200 - nobody is going to sell you a decent 4TB of SSD for $100.

    Even when it comes to SSDs there's the good ones with QLC and Cache and the ones like the ones in the OP.

    If anything it will go up in price due to inflation.

  Centrecom also has it for $99. There are stock in as few Vic suburbs so you can C&C. Otherwise it's + shipping and I assume + surcharge.

  • 

    rain-e on 28/01/2023 - 23:19

    Umart and MSY also have it for $99 with C&C. Amazon AU allows backorder at $104 if none of these are an option which is still a pretty good deal.

  Paid $129 for it less than a month ago, oh the joy of rush purchasing.

  Purchased as a replacement boot ssd for a laptop (of which the former ssd was long in the tooth and bound to fail with how often I've been using it over the last 3 years - figured an upgrade including in read/write capacity was also in order). No issues with it thus far.

  $105 - Crucial P3 Plus 3D NAND NVMe PCIe M.2 SSD Drive, 1000 GB
  Delivering impressive speed with sequential reads/writes up to 5000/4200MB/s1
  Gen4

  It's also on the Top5 at Tom's Hardware (for this month) - https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/best-ssds,3891.html

    It's still a QLC SSD though and Crucial's QLC tech still lags a lot, compared to competition. The sustained write is about 100MB/s. You are still paying for PCIe gen 4 and while Phison E21 does do quite a few things well, there is not much it can really do with cost effective grade NAND.

    Its use of pSLC does attempt to hide its ugly QLC as long as it could, but once the SLC cache is depleted, it enters SLC cache recovery mode, hence the write speed does tank. You could use it in an intelligent way to avoid entering that situation and give the SSD time to recovery. If you progressively fill the SSD over weeks or months, then you probably won't notice the slow QLC NAND until the drive is 80% full.

    Toms list isnt really a 'top 10 nvme drives' list, rather its a list of 10 categories, number 4 being 'best budget' drive

    • 

      TogTogTogTog on 31/01/2023 - 08:29

      Yeah, I'm linking it as a good reference for SSDs in different categories. If you want a better version of OPs deal the Crucial P3 Plus is the way to go, even with QLC, it maintains the 4500 write for over 2mins, so it's perfect as a storage add-in for all those Acers people bought.

      If you wanted to move away from QLC, the P5 Plus is like $140.
