News Flash- better update the thread title, the Pioneer just went back up to $124.99 on Amazon. Grrrr! Goddamn retailers all following MC's pricing.

Walked into a MicroCenter and lo and behold, price of the Inland Premium jumped up $20 to 129.95! Goddamn. The only good thing about the 'new' Inland Premium 1 TB is that it is indeed single layer, so it will fit in more laptops / badly designed Tbolt enclosures like the Wavlink. Guess I...

Going by the image on MicroCenter's website, the main difference between the 12.3 fw based SSDs and the 'new' Inland Premium 22.x's seems to be the use of Kingston DRAM instead of Hynix DRAM? I could see where you'd definitely need a different support chipset to support either. Still need to...

Has anyone found an ECFM 22.x updater out in the wild? I'm beginning to think there isn't one because it may require different components than whats on ECFM 12.3 SSDs.

If someone posts a link to the ECFM 22.x updater, I'll be happy to tell you if it nuked my data or not!

Anyone got a link to a ECFM 22.x updater?

On an Inland 1 TB, write speeds went up approx. by 50 MB/sec, read may have dropped slightly with 12.3.

Got any ADM screens of the increased speeds?

The Sabrent Rocket 2 TB NVMe, Phison E12 based, is now only $270 from Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Sabrent-Rocket-Internal-Performance-SB-ROCKET-2TB/dp/B07MTQTNVR/

Sabrent Rocket 2 TB is just $260 up on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MTQTNVR/ Pretty sure it's the same Phison E12 powered, TLC Toshiba NAND as the others, especially according to the GoogleDocs spreadsheet that Maxx posted last page.

Also to remind everyone who might want to pick one of the Phison E12 alternates such as Sabrent Rocket or Silicon Power, firmware ECFM 12.1 has issues related to thermal management. These issues are largely fixed in ECFM 12.2, so remember to check when you get your order in! The 12.2 updater...

So yeah, I ran into the local MicroCenter to me and I used the RetailMeNot $5 off coupon so I paid $95 (before tax) for a 1 TB SSD! Also verified that newest batch of Inlands have ECFM 12.2, including this one I just bought. The OFFICIAL price for this part is now $99.99! I think SixFootDuo...

It's only in stock in Overland Park, Kansas Chicago Denver at the moment, but they usually get shipments mid-week or so.

Works fine on Macs, tested on a cheesgrater Mac Pro, 2015 MacBook Air, and recommended to others. True, Premium has only 3 year warranty but it's basically walk into a MicroCenter, say my part I bought from you is bad and they pull another off the shelf for you. Sabrent you probably have to...

This was mentioned earlier in the thread, too, which is why it's very important to get 12.2 firmware! Okay hold onto your hats.. Amazon has the Sabrent Rocket 1 TB normally for $133.71, take 14% off with promo code 153EBNHY and total cost is $ 113.65! Apply promo code to the Sabrent Rocket 2...
