Be sure to leave free space at least10% or else you will kill your ssd faster

Not so straight forward as it seems.

CHINA has now the capacity to make their own SSD.

see.... https://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?catId=...&SearchText=ssd

Thus breaking the monopoly of the big players.... Samsung, Scandisk and Kingston.

To retaliate , these companies have decided to DUMP prices to stuff out these new players from CHINA.

PLUS using the new 3d storage tech which they have developed , they have DUMP prices of the higher capacity SSD, thus making smaller SSD cheaper.

GOOD for CONSUMERS !!!!  rclxm9.gif  rclxm9.gif  rclxm9.gif

Hope they start making GPU ...... Prices now is really crazy ... rclxub.gif  rclxub.gif  rclxub.gif

China (not Taiwan) is still relying on Tsinghua Unigroup to tap into NAND market.

Main OEMs like Samsung/Intel/Micron/sandisk don't throw their reject NANDs into garbage bins.
These NANDs are low binned. i.e some parts don't work/low reliability/bad performance/ etc. Kinda like how i7 get binned into Pentium chips. They might be the same die, but performance is different.

Depending on the agreement, the original laser mark is either erased and then lasered with these manufacturer's own, or allowed to use back the same markings. That's why u see some of these cheapo SSDs have Intel NAND markings. They are indeed Intel NANDs, just low binned stuff.


I'd buy the cheapest SSD from major OEMs before I will touch these.

I bought 6 units Kingston 240GB A400 from different Shoppee & Lazada vendors. All local sellers. All are genuine. In fact the first time i bought was RM202 with codes. The last was RM180 without codes. All are used to update my 2 laptops and relatives old laptops. The best lowest cost upgrade ever!!!!

Just a few months ago i bought a 480GB Kingston A400 @ RM466
now market price for this SSD is only around RM300

clearing old gen stock perhaps..

A400 is known for short lifespan.. not that it matter much when it's this cheap..

among the reasons for the cheap pricing is because it uses Toshiba 2D Planar 15nm TLC NAND

the mid-to-high end SSDs usually use 64-layer 3D TLC NAND, V-NAND-based NVMe SSD, etc etc... wayyyy faster and longer lifespan..

it's still a good purchase for those of you who haven't tried any SSD before

A400 still significantly faster than your mechanical HDD

just monitor their health from time to time, like i said, they're known for short lifespan
