Like I said on many threads on DRAMless SSD. Its crap.

Crucial MX500, Samsung 860 Evo (only up to 500GB) and Kingston KC600 for SATA.

Is Samsung 870 evo newer n better than 860 evo? Vendor only has 870.

Fuh, hand itchy ready. 2TB PCIE 4.0 for rm1109 is killer.
Tempted to get 2 pieces. Use it to replace my SX8200...
I'm surprised price is going down even with this news circulating:

May be no more part shortage, other brands now increase production fighting for wd shortfall.

Yes, it has enough power to power up laptop size HDDs. However, it won't be enough for a 3.5" desktop HDD.

Thanks for the reply.
I have 2 old laptops HP & Acer each with a Evo870 which i installed few months ago when both original hdd tanked. Now the Acer cant power up so i took out the Evo870 n swapped it with the HP cos all my work is in Acer. Surprised that i can use it straight away without reinstalling win10 n apps. Occasionally i have BSOD during bootup but it recovered itself promptly.
