Don't be swayed by the overwhelmingly favorable reviews on the 120GB and 240GB versions of this SSD. While those SSDs use the faster, more reliable MLC NAND technology, this 480GB SSD uses the slower, less reliable TLC tech. While this delivers higher memory density, it will not deliver the kind of speed desired from modern SSDs.
That's how I felt. And the numbers on this drive are solid for sata. You can only get so fast. And yes some drives have better synthetic benchmarks but I'm willing to bet you can't much tell the difference.Seems like most companies are still pushing TLC ... Samsung 970 EVO, WD Black, etc. Both of those being very fast drives... If you want speed, you shouldn't be buying a SATA drive anyways.
Install games on there, you don't need MLC for loading a game.
Got one! Should be much better for my steam catalog than my older 7.2k drive!
Since Inland is their house brand, their in-store customer service might be able to help.I could lose the games installed on there, but I don't like the "warranty" if it exists. The box says 3 year warranty on ipsgproducts.com in Hilliard, Ohio like MC. That site results in an error message if you submit a warranty registration. Micro Center's e-mail says inlandproduct.com and then for warranty they send you to http://www.inlandus.com/warranty.html and that results in an error message entering the warranty information.
Mine is still working but I don't know if MC will stand by them at all. This feels like there is no warranty like a Diablotek or generic PSU in 2009.
You likely would not notice a difference. At this point, modern SSD's are fast enough to not matter.Would I see a loading performance increase going from an 840 evo 250gb to this? Or even just stay the same? Working a new build but with ddr4 at the prices they are I might skip on Samsung for the ssd this time around.
Same price at Amazon. Sold by MC, fulfilled by Amazon or something like that.
Gonna grab the 512gb model for cheap in the m.2 version
That is only in sequential IO... From what I've read in another thread modern/faster sata drivers are better at random 4k i/o than this nvme drive.Did Crucial release an NVMe drive?
Inland m.2 is NVMe Read Speed Up to 1550 MBps. A bit faster than an MX500.

This looks like $120 to me. This is the same price as the Crucial MX500 and the Intel 545s, both well known, solid, fast drives. Why would you choose the inland for this price? Is it actually cheaper than $120 & not showing that on the web page?
For $120, it's a low cost risk in my book; it's a Phison E8 reference design like Lite-On MU X or Patriot Scorch; so $120 isn't quite a bad deal for 512GB? It is only an x2, but good enough for an entry level NVMe to displace a M.2 SATA or SATA 3 at similar capacity/cost.
