Hi guys, thought I'd share...
I'm parting together a Ryzen system on the cheap to upgrade my Plex server. I got a lightly used / pre-owned Ryzen 1700 for a good deal, some cheap (by current pricing standards) RAM and a cheap B350 motherboard. I already have an old SSD I was going to transplant, but it's an old Corsair Force 3 120gb, has to be several generations old... it's already on it's 3rd system, this would be the 4th. Time to go bigger/newer/faster. But needs to be cheap.
I think the Samsung 960 Evo 250gb NVME for $119 is probably the best choice in the price range, but I've already depleted my budget and thats just a little much for that system on a component I don't really "need". Also, NVME is probably a waste on a file/Plex server. Then I saw this thing on Amazon.

DREVO D1 M.2 2280 240 GB Internal SSD Solid State Drive SATA 6Gb/s Read 500MB/S Write 500MB/S
$59 shipped with Prime.
I've never heard of "Drevo". Only found 1 review online, from a site I'd never heard of, and it's in UK. HardwareSlave? hmmm. They liked it well enough.

So I know it's NOT an NVME drive, but for the price, I figured it couldn't be worse than the $49 Inland (store brand from Microcenter) 240gb SSD I was also looking at. http://www.microcenter.com/product/485911/240_GB_NAND_SATA_30_60_GB-s_25_Internal_SSD
So I'll try it and if it's just worthless I'll return it to Amazon.
It's got to be a rebrand, right? Wonder how I can figure out who makes it.
So other than Crystal, are there any other tests/benchmarks I should run on it, once I get it?
edit - link to homepage. 3 year warranty, I guess that's a plus.
