QUOTE(pronester @ Jul 27 2018, 10:23 AM) if like really drop for the huge size SSD i.e 1tb..i plan to install it in my NAS QUOTE(Rubypoyo @ Jul 27 2018, 10:27 AM) Bro, for NAS is better use HDD, no point using SDD if just want to use to to save personal data. QUOTE(thxxht @ Jul 27 2018, 10:33 AM) mechanical drives still best for value in terms of $ / gb, mechanical drives also last longer. I have a IDE drive that i still use from my college days 10+ years ago, they are tough as hell, so they are better for long term storage. the NAS controller probably will die first long before a mechanical drive does. +1 Even if you put the fastest SSD on the market today, you will still be limited to the network connectivity limitation of your NAS box.

QUOTE(rockmadhavan @ Aug 2 2018, 03:05 AM) 3 years warranty bro. Worth it obviously but what about the failure rates? Is a pain in the @$$ to get it RMA and leaving a pc without OS to operate. but at RM 99 is a steal!

A gap of mere rm 70 to gain another 120gb of space. Still worry that this low end model A400. How bad can it be.
