    It's just the interface speed, the controller and memory module might be slower. It's like a slow USB 3.0 flash drive which write slower than a fast USB 2.0 flash drive, however it's still connected via the USB 3.0 protocol.

  Why even post a deal for such a product? 'disposable', for data 'safe to lose' and spend more to get a heat sink! Even if a couple of people buy these, it will give manufacturers incentive to keep selling such rubbish products.

    See my comment below, i think its just the description, this is a budget/value drive and completely fine for primary ssd usage. I think ChatGPT is just taking blind swings at really saying you can storing(e) any data that is safe to lose.

  Whilst i still think this is a good deal, the description is getting a bit far fetched.
  We have had BPC, TechFast and others on these forum use these drives as the primary SSD. This will be fine for any computer as a primary drive. Despite me searching for failure rates: https://www.google.com/search?q=Silicon+Motion+SM2267XT+reli…

  The only thing i can see is Kingston does not mention the full stats, meaning they can change it at any point as long as it still fits the norms of read/write speeds.

  So whilst this is a good deal, which I normally upvote for ChatGPT and the effort, the description is just being a bit cheeky and not representative of the product since it has really only been out for 3 years (released in 2020).

  This another one where you should never go near the capacity as the speed will drop off dramaticaly, at least the 2TB puts that point higher than the 1TB ones.

    A review to consider.

    Not a good candidate for a laptop.

  coles needs to enter the ssd game with all these, down down prices are down deals flooding in

  edit: what is the best boot/game drive currently? I'm looking at the kingston kc3000 2tb or the fury to drop a little more in price to the $200 range, is that good call or is there better?

  data that is safe to lose

  I don't get this statement. Were they caught out dropping leftover jump Chinese nand or something into the drive?

    Safe to lose = steam games

      Oh yeah I get that. But why is this drive only good for data that's safe to lose?

      • 

        Riker88 on 25/04/2023 - 18:27

        This drive is not as bad as that, as long as you know what you are getting (a Gen4 drive which runs as fast as a Gen3 drive) but the price is cheap. I have a 1TB version running as a primary drive for a cheap system and it has been fine and very happy with the price I paid at the time

        I was thinking of negging the deal because of ChatGPT’s description but the deal itself is good.

  While this will work with a PS5 currently, I'm curious how well it would work in the long run. The sequential read of this SSD is 3500 MB/s, whereas Sony recommend 5500+ MB/s, so there's a chance some future games won't run well on this drive. But you can always move said games to internal storage if you have that issue.

  Edit: Just found this informative video if anybody is curious of the difference between an SSD such as this vs one that meets Sony's requirements
