There is a reason why their only giving you a 3 year warranty when decent NVME SSD gives 5 years as standard.

Wow thx for sharing…..
How about SP Power’s ram and ssd? By any chance got info/experience/opinion on this brand? notworthy.gif

SP is one of the more recent & capalang Taiwan brands, its only USP is that its dirt cheap compared to others but better than obscure China brands. It also has drives in the insane high capacity, ie 4TB & 8TB.

Why its cheap? Cuz they carefree mix & match parts which can lead to huge difference in performance. Thats the reason why their website refuses to specify what type of controller (or NAND) they are using, or even whether its TLC or QLC.

Of course! Lexar used to be American now they are Chinese owned. Their just milking the Lexar brand name. Stay away from them.
