transcend mte220s 2tb have arrived (link was posted above); safe and sound.

now it's 770myr per piece haha

isn't it cheaper to buy the enclosure and nvme separately? 

T7 is not thumb drive size, but it's small, the size is your ATM card.
Just keep an eye during the event. I got mine at 9.9 at RM490.8 for 1TB.
1. USB 3.2 gen2
2. 3 years warranty
3. AES encryption.
4. By looking at the spec, I believe it has better cooling.

I compared both buying enclosure and others brand like WD and Sandisk, T7 is still the cheapest.

Does ur ssd has heat sink on it? I believe most of the SSDs are pretty hot, correct me if im wrong. As long as ur case has good airflow i think is fine.
I donno what is the RMA rate for SSD, but i think their SSD are pretty solid. The only problem is price, they are just exp.
Sandisk ssd is just m.2, they just glue it on the controller board. Not sure if u can upgrade the storage.
I've checked youtube review. Their temperature is not that good, I think that is because their plastic housing, same thing happens for WD, samsung is still the coolest.
Size wise comparing wd and sandisk, samsung is the smallest and they are the only one with metal build. You feel solid holding in your hand.
Do share if you can find any brand that is better than samsung by comparing:
1. Price
2. Speed
3. Build
4. Size
5. Temperature
6. Security
7. Warranty

maybe it's really time to get some more, https://www.tomshardware.com/news/ssd-price...sh-cyber-monday

Those that always copy a lot of data or play latest game that use DirectStorage will see noticeable improvement going with faster NVME. It is also smaller and doesn't need any cable, improvement in space and aesthetic. Pricing for both format also almost similar now. If plan to buy SSD would be better to buy NVME instead of SATA.

Bought a 2tb Kingston kc3000 yesterday on sale.
Can't wait to use

KC3000 2TB can get as low as RM725.90 voucher applied at Lazada, although i already bought 1 during 11.11 sales @RM800 and still unused yet, but can't resisted to get another 1 for the other rig.

Thanks buddy. Just spam the 'collect' button and got the rm80 

Did you buy one? Im contemplating between 2tb version which can be found at attractive price like above or should i get the 4tb version which only cost around rm1.9k?
I intend for window clean install using this drive

How much? Between rm6xx?
Is it worth to spend rm1.9k on 4tb version?

as of now, imo a better way to populate ssds in a desktop computer is like this:
1. a small dedicated os drive - nvme, 3d-tlc, 512gb or more;
2. work drives -  1x apps/games, 1x data; nvme, 3d-tlc, 2tb or more;
3. a game/content drive - nvme, qlc + dram, 4tb or more.

this should yield a relatively better performance, plus you can do regular os/data backups, so that you can restore things quickly when shits happen.

offload tasks like downloads to an old pc, and an array of sata-based hdd storage (for data backups, archives) to another. you can manage both machines with rdp (at least change the port, and enable windows firewall to accept lan-only connections)

i think above is the better way to use qlc drives, i.e. read-intensive mainly.

Consumer 3D Nand SSD price decline

reason why we are seeing price cuts for Gen4 SSDs recently. some 2tb price (with vouchers) are almost as low as last year's price.
