That's a pretty sweet deal. Been running one of these as my main drive for a couple years and am tempted to grab a second one just for the hell of making super fast image backups.

Yeah, that's a pretty quick drive for that price.

I have this drive and its excellent. Great price! I think I got it for $250 and that was a steal back then.

Was currently debating over this drive or the Teamgroup MP33 for about $20 cheaper.
Thoughts?

 

[techie81]

For me, Samsung 100%.

Mind if I ask why?

Mind if I ask why?

I have two of these drives and it is my ancodental belief that they are a bit higher quality than the teamgroup ones. Nothing against teamgroup, I just know exactly what I am getting with the Samsungs.

I picked one up at Best Buy open box for $120. Fast drive and worth the $$.

Will BB price match? Sure would be better than scamazon...

BB will price match as long as it sold and shipped by Amazon

Ooh, nice deal. Gonna pick one. Been very satisfied with the one I own.

Deal is dead on my end - $189 now.

I will say there's a 2tb Crucial NVME (almost 30k ratings) for $139 at Amazon though.

Limited-time deal: Crucial P2 2TB 3D NAND NVMe PCIe M.2 SSD Up to 2400MB/s - CT2000P2SSD8 https://a.co/d/boR3Pb5

600TBW rating. Not bad price at all.

Hmm damn I just bought a 1TB 970evo plus to replace a drive that got a stuck head (probably, don't have the tools to open it and check), was looking into 2TB as a replacement just couldn't justify nearly $200 for it.

This is one of those scenarios where I wish I had a 3rd m.2 slot. I'd get a 2TB for 1/1 image back-ups and an additional 500GB for things like pictures, videos, etc. Those Crucials (which I still see at $139 and only $40 for 500GB) are cheap.
