MLC! 480GB! Good price! (Under $100)
MLC! 480GB! Good price! (Under $100)
Nice OP. My son was asking last night what he should get since I was upgrading the Spare PC. I saw this but the price was way more than $100. Dropped over night.
$99 seems to be the new price point for 480GB SSD, there were a couple of different deals at that price yesterday.
Query: To the average user (like myself) does controller type, etc. really matter? I'm looking for reliability and price over getting something that is a fraction of a milisecond faster.
Didn't you already get two 240GB V300 drives in the other thread?
I would have been all over these 480GB drives, if I hadn't already bought four of the V300 240GB and three of the UV300 TLC drives.
Interestingly, the UV300 drives are supposed to use a Phison S10. Which, I don't know how well it performs with TLC NAND, but the PNY CS2211 drives (MLC) also use that controller, and they have *excellent* benchmarks. (Edit: I believe that the Phison S10 controller is quad-core, too.)
