Got mine in... fortunately not broken in half. Mailed in a crappy padded mailer.

Ok these have the phison e12 ... guess what lol
The new phison e16 is like 4400/4200 or some such rediculous speeds. I'm waiting for those to come.out next. Nvme is getting asinine retarded levels of badass performance.
I picked up the Sabrent drive but am returning it, since it does not support the 512e sector size, just 4096 only. (Cannot clone from my WD Black 256GB NVMe SSD and do not want to redo everything from scratch.) Since I may go by at least 5 different Microcenter stores on the way down to Florida next month, I might consider picking up the Inland drive, if it is still available. Does the Inland drive have an cloning issues? Thanks.

I'll save you a couple trips to Microcenter, one to buy the drive and another to return it. The Inland does not support 512e sector size. None of the drives with the phison e12 controller do.
You just need newer/better cloning software. Cloning issues between drives with different sector sizes was a couple of years ago. I think probably most all current software can deal with that just fine now. For example
"EaseUS Todo Backup Free/Home 10.0 and later version is able to clone between hard drives with different logical sector size."
They are up to version 11.5 now... https://www.easeus.com/backup-software/tb-free.html
Of course there are plenty of other free options too.
And let me guess, most of the new drives will be using the phison e12 controller moving forward, right?
Does Todo Backup allow you to create a bootable usb drive for cloning?
Yes I do believe it does. It will be the create emergency bootable media option or something along those line. Can then boot that and run it from there.
Well, for $17.50, including tax, the Home Version of Todo backup should be a good value, long term. (It was save many, many hours of redoing any of my computers from scratch.) In fact, I think that is probably why I had an issue initially with booting the Intel drive I have that I cloned over a month ago. (Acronis stinks, nowadays.)
Edit: It worked and although it is faster than the 256GB drive, I just mostly wanted / needed more space, long term. Thanks.
this is a TLC drive, right?
Honestly, I do not know.
this is a TLC drive, right?
how many did you order?
Thanks OP! I picked one up for $110.98 shipped.
It came with firmware 12.2. This thing is freaky fast, hopefully it will be durable.

I bet that drive will cost 2 or 3 times what the inland costs.so now what? is this deal lackluster now? new Samsung 970 Pro killer?

"Boasting up to 4,950MB/s sequential read and 4,250MB/s sequential write speeds, the MP600 is ready to become the storage center of your new 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen Desktop Processor and AMD X570 chipset-based system."
If you want a copy of acronis, my SSD came with a key that I don't think I ever redeemed. Pm me if interested.I picked one of these up, and I need to image my existing install for my server over from an old 120gb sandisk sata ssd. I have confirmed the existing Bytes per sector and Bytes per physical sector to be 512, so it's currently 512 native (per the fsutil output, as discussed https://support.microsoft.com/en-us...t-policy-for-4k-sector-hard-drives-in-windows.) I know this inland's controller/drive has issues with that, and can be 4k only.
What's a program that will absolutely work to transfer this over correctly? I would prefer one that does it's process via a bootable usb, as I've had a bad experience with Macrium Reflect doing the cloning with an operating windows install (My pc from a Samsung 850 evo sata to 970 evo nvme, still borked to this day.) This would be for my server, so troubleshooting little issues later on is unacceptable, and doing a fresh install of windows is also unacceptable. I have plenty of available space if I need to make an image file instead.

stay far far far away from the HP drive. their support page does not even list the drive as one of their products. had several HP people hang up on me when trying to get warranty replacement
I decided to give it a try, and at least install the program. Off to a great start!Correct me if I'm wrong, but if I was reading correctly ManofGod used EaseUS Todo Backup to clone his 512B drive to the 4K Sabrent a few posts up. It uses bootable USB recovery media, but I'm not sure if it can do the actual backup/clone from that media or not. I've used it several times on live installs with no ill effects, though. Works great.
Put 4 drives in there, and then stick it in a board that supports bifurcation, obviously.

Broke one of my inlands already tonight.
Rather, I was exporting a lot of images from lightroom and I think I overheated it, the system hung, and now windows won't boot because it's missing a file.
I'm guessing it doesn't have good data-in-flight protection like the samsungs do, or doesn't have any.
I'm going to have to load it up in my external m.2 enclosure and run diskcheck against it, else I have to re-clone my 950 Pro to it and torture test it again.
I put my 2nd one in my laptop, so I guess I'll beat on that tomorrow at work and see what happens under load.
Which ones?
I know many of their newer ones while branded as just HP are actually a partnership deal with MCS. That is also where you get firmware and whatnot for them. https://www.multipointe.com/
I'm not sure if any of them use the same Phison controller as these though. I know the EX920 uses a Silicon Motion controller and I think the EX950 is also Silicon Motion based.
Warranty on them? No idea on that....

In real world use you would not notice a difference.Also, as indicated in the pic above, I installed both in mine. Just ran a quickie 1 pass benchmark comparing three different drives. 512GB Samsung SM951 that came in the system, 1tb HP EX920, new 1TB Inland.
