I recently came across this house brand SSD at Microcenter. For reference only, I paid $74.99after it was on sale, and I had a $5 off $30 or more coupon. This sale is still current as of this post.
This model is different than the 120/240gb variant in that it uses TLC ram. But because the SSD market is currently flooded with cheap no name SSD brands, I decided to take this one apart and show people what's inside.
I am no expert in SSD's , but I can say it has the phison ps3110-s10x controller. And it does have some DRAM cache onboard.
I will post some benchmarks once it is installed. Hope this helps anyone on the fence.
Numerous Reddit posts rumoured this was made from the same assembly line as the WD blue SSD's although I don't know for sure if that was true. I asked a MC worker, he said WD did provide some training about this line of SSD's. I also saw this posted on a Reddit post. So maybe it's true?
It has a 3 year warranty. And I'm only using it as a game drive. Without further ado, the pics.
