cheap slc 32gb ssd

[namerodl]

I'm thinking about buying http://3btech.net/sost322sumap1.html

anyone know any other 32gb+ slc ssd that's cheaper than this?

I'm pretty sure that's a misprint; that drive is an MLC based on the model name.

life sucks

where can i find a cheap slc sdd?

Yeah, I managed to grab one that was SLC, but once they ran out of stock they started selling the MLC version. One of the guys here on the forums got one before they changed the model # on the webpage.

The only really "cheap" SLC I can find is the 1.8" samsung... Sequential R/W will be much lower than newer MLC (or SLC) drives.

It will still be considerably faster than any hard drive however. I've had one of those Samsung SSDs for 9 months and it is by no means slow.

this is mis advertised. i know this because i bought this about two weeks ago and its not a SLC drive. its advertised as SLC ssd but the model number on http://supertalent.com/products/ssd_detail.php?type=MasterDrive OX matches as a MLC drive. in my case it was advertised as slc when i bought it and the model also matched slc but when i got it it was an mlc drive

I'm using mine in a laptop. If you are replacing the drive in a desktop however, there are faster SSDs out there.

thanks for the link.

do you know any good SSDs that give best bang for the bucks?

 

[antok86]

keep an eye out on ebay.. i got a deal on mine there

 

[drgnfang]

Best bang for buck right now is still probably the vertex. I believe most of us are waiting on the new samsung controller based SSD's, have vertex drives (or similar drives with the same controller), and/or have intel drives.
