If you are after cheap NAND storage for some games or your NAS, TLC might be a very attractive option. Prices of NAND are going down, and as such Crucial figured it would be a good moment to introduce... Crucial Silently adds 1 and 2 terabyte versions to BX500 series SSD
"If you are after cheap NAND storage for some games or your NAS, SLC might be a very attractive option." SLC is cheap?
The BX500 was the cheapest known branded SATA 480 GB drive I could buy for an old laptop. Best decision ever. Hopefully these bigger ones end up lowering their price and the next old laptop I have to upgrade, I can put a 1 GB inside.
With tlc they are more appealing options but with the nvm drives we se lately as HH noted and reviewed recently... I do not see a reason to go for the sata drive as far you have a free nvme slot on your mb
i see a lot: - if you need to put a card in the PCIe slot that is shared with M2... then it is a way to have both SSD and the PCIe card. - if you have both M2 complete (like "OS and Tool" on one and "Program" on other) but you need more space then the 4To SSD would be perfect - if you have no more PCIe free for another M2 (exemple with some intel and AMD Ryzen and Athlon G or GE) then again SSD in sata would be the better solution. - and more... On other hand for main disk i agree with you (personaly i wouldn't go back ). but SSD in high volume in 2"5 will replace HDD in 1To, 2To, 4To (and even more in future) in a lot of application, it's for that it exist more and more in NAS or Video specialised version. In here WD green and Sandisk (normal, not the Ultra) are cheaper, but what would make me look at Micron is the result on long survey compared to Samsung: they are nearly the same.
@Hilbert Hagedoorn you can rewrite the news again https://www.computerbase.de/forum/t...tb-speicherplatz.1902401/page-2#post-23356554 Crucial have officially confirmed, that the new 1TB and 2TB drives use QLC NAND. -andy-
