Waiting for 4TB SSDs (whatever the form factor) to reach < RM 1000

I'm not gonna buy this but just wondering

Samsung 4TB 870 EVO SATA III 2.5 inch Internal SSD, for RM1,818.90. https://shopee.com.my/product/258460526/689...24-1666327919.9.

shipping from HK, price too good to be true ? Will have problem if try to RMA with Samsung Malaysia?

For Samsung diehards & those not worried bout warranty issues

870 EVO SATA 4TB at USD 300 (lowest ever at Amzn)
https://www.amazon.com/SAMSUNG-Inch-Interna...36GF?th=1&psc=1

Add on USD 24 for shipping+ import tax = $324 = about RM 1.5k
Absolutely beats any local shopee seller

How old are your 870 EVOs?

4TB sata not many choices locally, crucial mx500 and the, well, 870 EVO. Also i read sumwhere here amazon US will only help within X days of purchase, after dat u deal directly with Samsung USA.

More than decent lol, it's one of the best performing pcie 4

if you gonna frequently copy huge files to it, good to slap in a heatsink (if your mobo's M.2 slot doesn't hv one)

Cool mini review. Look forward to seeing if u experience any thermal throttling. U using a heatsink on the drive?

Haih....just wished Transcend would make a 4TB version of MTE220S. Would be the perfect M.2-based TLC storage drive for media & stuff

TRANSCEND 2.5" SSD230S SATA III 6GB/S INTERNAL SSD SOLID STATE DRIVE WITH 3D NAND FLASH - 4TB (TS4TSSD230S) RM899.00

*Not many reviews out there but i saw some reddit or TPU comments saying it's TLC & Dram

And Teamgroup... like no official presence in MY ah? On Amazon , MP34 4TB PCIe 3.0 Nvme TLC DRAM going below USD 200

what? lol
shld be the other way around. TLC better performance than QLC

Not discontinued. 500/1tb probably sold out cause it's the most popular capacities. I see 256gb, 2tb and 4tb still available

Can't find the pdf manual from HP site?
Ur desktop not that old (12th gen intel), all SATA ports should be SATA III (6Gbps). I googled a bit, seems the color just for ease of identification. Usually SATA0 for boot drive, the rest u can plug in anything doesn't matter the order as long u configure properly in Bios/uefi

U try to rule out bad sata port or bad cable first.
I assume the ssd is not thermal throttling when writing, based on your temperature in screenshot.

But i think likely cause is one of these:
- drive itself (faulty NAND or controller)
- OS not properly performing TRIM
- drive usage almost full (85% in ur screenshot). Yes, if u didn't overprovision and almost full, ssd write speeds will drop. How bad it drop depends on quality of your drive & other factors. U can google all about this

Test again when F: usage reaches 85% or higher
