Get 2TB instead. Then you won't have to worry about running out of space
Unless you're the type who just install lots of games to make it seems like your PC has a lot of games ready to be played but most of the time you don't actually play all of them

Photos & videos just use HDD lar, no need SSD

Downside: Heatsink comes pre-installed
Cannot remove the heatsink because PNY will void the warranty

From PNY official website, they do said there's one without heatsink
But PNY Shopee store is not selling them
A big no-no for me
I want something without a heatsink so I can use the original heatsink that comes with my motherboard so it doesn't spoil the overall look of my system

Suddenly got a hole on the motherboard, especially on the X570 Aorus Xtreme or Z590 Aorus Xtreme motherboards, so ugly wei

Go with Crucial

SSD is much more reliable than HDD but you still shouldn't store your important data in just 1 place. Should always have backup

Depends on your laptop model
Some laptop M.2 slot only supports SATA
Some laptop M.2 slot only supports NVMe
Some laptop M.2 slot supports both SATA & NVMe

That's just a guideline. Just pack it in anti-static packaging, some bubbles wrap then put it in any sturdy box
If you still have the original box, then you can use that
Don't forget to write the RMA number in multiple places on the box
No

Only idiots would fall for this
And looking at the ratings. There are tons of them idiots out there

Haven't they ever heard the term "If the price seems too good to be true, it probably is?"

This shop is weird. After 5 days still haven't shipped out my 2TB order
Already extend Shopee guarantee, still hasn't shipped out

Kalau takde stock, cakap la takde stock, jangan diam saja. Chat also no reply

Other shop still got stock
But you gotta hurry as only 2 units left from this store

What are you going to use the 4 NVMe SSD in RAID for?

If solely for storage, then it's fine
But if it's for OS, software & games, not worth it

This store is selling 2TB MTE220S at a cheaper price than the other store listed in this thread

2TB @ RM508.90

https://shopee.com.my/product/26508036/11513181835

Only in Malaysia
In the US, the seller is forced to follow their wrong pricing for all orders that has been placed

If the same rules apply in Malaysia, I would've gotten my 20 units of PS4 that was wrongly priced for RM200 per unit a few years back in Sony Malaysia online store

Typo on HowToGeek website
MSI states the operating temperature for Spatium M570 is between 0°C – 70°C

Does the MTE220S run hot? I'm going to use it as a capture drive that will do lots of long time writing
It will write data to the drive between 4 ~ 8 hours at a time

Currently using HDD but the HDD is showing lots of bad sectors now as it's being used in an unstable location
Inside a car being used for capturing route data. Already used lots of soft silicone to protect the HDD from any shocks but it still happen anyway
This is the 4th HDD that died during the project
Already tried multiple HDD models, each HDD only survives between 6 - 12 months

Thinking if I should use active cooling on the MTE220S so that it will run a lot cooler too

Some laptops comes with 2 x M.2 NVMe slots
If this is the case, you don't have to pull out the 256GB SSD. Just leave it as it is for Windows & applications and use the secondary slot to install another NVMe SSD for your documents/videos/game install diretory & etc
State the year & full model number of your laptop

Oww. Too bad. Looks like you don't have any other option but to replace the 256GB SSD
Although you can still use it as portable SSD, just need to buy the case
