Great price for a low coast build.

Not sold by newegg, but another retailer and shipped by newegg. A lot of times these secondary retailers are selling shady stuff so do your homework.
I think it depends on your use case. The nice thing about this is it's based on the MX300 which is better than a lot of cheaper TLC 3D NAND SSDs because it has DRAM. It is based on the MX300 after all. It also has conformal coating so it's even suitable for harsher environments.Just fyi, this is non-NVME so you'll get the same speeds as 2.5 SATA SSD's, but at the added convenience of being powered through the motherboard and additional security features with this being an enterprise drive... no cables. I wouldn't call this hot as 2.5 inch sata's are going for ~$50 per 500 GB
That is conformal coating, it has nothing to do with temperature regulation.I find it odd that it's coated by black covering. Does this cool the SSD? I don't think so....

Other sites mentioned that coating is required for the FIPS whatever rating/certification, something along those lines. It does look weird for sure.

Conformal Coating
This Micron 1100 SSD features conformal coating, a thin polymeric film, to protect against moisture, dust, chemicals, extreme temperatures, and other environmental factors that lead to board corrosion, metal whiskering, or current bleed between closely positioned components.
Conformal coating is not a sealant, rather a breathable material that allows trapped moisture to escape while maintaining protection from contamination.
Apologies, wasn't implying it did, simply that it looks weird vs. other drives.This stuff doesn't hurt anything.
...would be FAST.Hmmm...two of these in RAID 0 with a PCIe x4 add in card...
...would be FAST.Have you pulled the trigger yet?
I wouldn't put anything valuable on there with raid0 and the inlands. I haven't heard anything bad about them, but knowing what I know about 'house brands' and oem manufacturing, I stay away from all house brands of anything including groceries.I have not. And don't plan to...I've gone the route of modifying my BIOS to inject nvme support. Drive is in the mail but the 4x PCIe card has already arrived. I got in on that inland professional deal.
