Silicon Power 2TB SSD 3D NAND A55 SLC Cache Performance Boost SATA III 2.5" Internal Solid State Drive (SP002TBSS3A55S25)
$105 with free Prime Shipping, 3 year / 1000TB TBW warranty

Nice to see prices falling so low. I haven't owned a 2TB Silicon Power SSD (yet) but do own and really like my assortment of 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB Silicon Power SSD and NVMe drives.

I bought a 1tb version. Though it looks like a fare few fail within a few months? Id say it is not a good look, but maybe the cheap prices in this case reflect on the product?

I hate junk, so I'll let u know if this is a drive that should not be called a drive!

Are you talking about the MP33 deals that mac posted? If so you have to sort the reviews by the specific drive and size on amazon or they clump all the drive reviews together. And if you sort the reviews by a specific drive and click 1 star reviews you need to resort by drive again or they get clumped together once again. Very annoying.

They sell tens of thousands of these. Most are not reviewed. Most people only review negative things. Its actually amazing to see Tech get good reviews with all the IDIOTS out there that think this is just plug and go. Etc etc etc.

As stated above. All size drives are reviewed there. Amazon does that to so many of their products and yes it is annoying.

Are you going to not buy a Ford Escape because of a few bad reviews ?

LEVEN JS600 SSD 2TB 3D NAND SATA III Internal Solid State Drive - 6 Gb/s, 2.5 inch / 7mm - 560MB/s read / 500MB/s write
$100 with free Prime shipping, 3 year warranty (TBW warranty unknown)

I've never owned a Leven drive but $100 for a 2TB SSD is an awesome price. Downsides are apparently no DRAM and no mention of SLC cache in the product description.

ShellShocker - today only - CX2 2TB SATA SSD 2.5" $98.99.

Under $100 for a 2TB SSD!

Edit: Although this is a SS, the trend has been downward, with the previous low price for this drive being around $106. Wake me up when 1TB SATA SSDs are $40. (Not long now.)

I saw a branded, but off-brand SATA 256GB SSD for $15.99 recently too.

You need low prices nowadays. Typical game installs are 60-120gb. World of Warships is 60gb. War Thunder is 115gb.

128GB Silicon Power SATA 2.5" SSD $14.99.

Of some limited utility, for 128GB + 1TB 7200RPM HDD super-budget gamer builds, or as a cheap pick-me-up for an older SATA system with an existing SATA HDD with a free SATA port.
