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

What brand do you recommend then, for cheap but better quality SSD?
