Seems like the best price so far.
This will work fine.
Kingston KC3000 2TB is overkill for that enclosure.
This one is DRAMless QLC SSD. It's hard to tell how slow the QLC bit is (since there is no review and the OZBer who reported it being QLC did not provide any additional info).
All USB 3.2 gen 2 enclosure runs the SSD at PCIe gen 3 x2 mode. However, QLC has zero chance to reach 10Gbps in its native write mode, it relies on SLC cache. In short, neither is great for the enclosure. Hard for people to recommend a SSD for you since we don't know your intended usage.
I paid $350 for the 2tb version couple of years ago lol.
I remember paying $299 for a 5GB USB "flash drive"
What a time to be alive
When i used to work selling digital cameras many years ago we had a catalogue special on SD/compact flash cards.
$1 per MB!
I had a computer with only 360kB floppies!
@whats up skip: I remember playing Warcraft 2 on a computer that had less space as the USB flash drive that people give away for free at conferences now.
Perfect OP! Been waiting for a deal on this as I missed the last one.
CBA has a 15$ cb with 75 spend too
Got me excited there and was going to push me over the line however i don't have that, must be targeted
Specs for this drive:
PCIe Gen4
Read 5000MBps
Write 4200MBps
900 TBW
QLC
DRAMless (but has HMB)
Plenty for a storage drive.
If you computer doesn't support HMB, this is going to be a slow drive even for files less than 10GB.
That's not true. Pretty sure the SSD has a dynamic SLC cache that's much larger than 10GB. That specs seems like Phison E21 and that's a recent controller.
The QLC part is a bigger issue than HMB, but if you just use it for reads or the SLC cache portion for writes, due to being a 4TB SSD, at PCIe gen 4 x4 mode, it can write at 4000MB/s (and assuming PNY doesn't screw up, the dynamic SLC cache when the drive is empty should be more than 1TB). The write performance is pretty shocking after the SLC cache runs out though (100MB/s or less, quite likely less).
Picked one up from an earlier deal, makes a good steam library drive
Supercheap
Thanks op bought 2
Hi all, isn't this the same one but cheaper?
https://www.centrecom.com.au/pny-cs2241-4tb-m2-nvme-ssd?gcli…
However I did notice it's a different part number.. but I can't find any information as to what the difference is
Centrecom $229:
M280CS2241-4TB-RB
Mydeal $263.95:
M280CS2241-4TB-CL
Unfortunately I found this AFTER purchasing the Mydeal one 😭
That one looks good, but is sold out
me too sob
A quick question: I bought this Inateck M.2 NVMe Enclosure, USB 3.2 Gen 2 with 10Gbps Transmission, and need an SSD to go with it while maximising everything (especially speed). Would you recommend this one or the Kingston from yesterday's deal or anything else? Cheers
