Lenovo PS8S Portable 2TB SSD $259 Delivered / C&C / in-Store @ Centre Com

140

This portable SSD is likely shuckable! So you can remove the adapter and use it as a NVMe.

Someone did a R/W test and it was around 3300 MB/s and 2900 MB/s (Removed as one bargainer confirmed it's likely 1865 MB/s and 1413 MB/s for R/W speed)

Updated link from a reddit user's post, about how the ssd looks when disassembled: https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/s/wVX4YvnzfY

Perhaps give it a try?

    Can it be used as a portable Windows drive?

    • Surely it can

      Installed it into my Lenovo Legion for steam library. It's soooo easy to shuck. The read/write is not as good as the OEM one but 1866/1413 is not too bad. Note this is because my secondary NVMe slot got PICe x2, believe if I swap it with the OEM one it will be double the speed

    Another 1TB teardown here https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/1s06768/lenovo… with read/write speeds closer to 1800mbps

      You mean 1800 MB/s. 1800 mbps is very slow.

  • How does this compare to a T7?

    • Same performance, T7 is more reliable

  • Haven't kept up with m.2 prices in a while, is this a good or common price? It looks like the actual drive is unknown/oem, so I feel like an SN5000 or any cheap WD/Samsung m.2 that's available in an enclosure is the obvious choice, but others are grabbing this so I'm not sure.

    • It's $499 at centre com

  • Good for shucking if you waive off your rights to warranty later down the track.

  • waiting for crucial x10 8tb to drop down to 600 in 5 years, im patient

  • Doesn't SSD heat up quite a bit? I would be concerned that this enclosure looks like there are no vents for heat dissipation? I guess the aluminium body becomes the heatsink? Anyone already has one that can comment on how hot the body gets?

    Nice signed up under a different email to my regular account and got another $5 off. Ill try to use a dremel and save the enclosure.
    EDIT: Ok it looks like you can easily pull it apart by pulling out the orange piece not like the youtube vid on the Lenovo PS8.

    • Not bad at all, extra value as an intact enclosure
