M.2 SSD 480GB for 60 Bucks! 120Gb-$30 240Gb $35 M.D.

[Plasmaburndeath]

Crazy good prices for a m.2 SSD - not sure I have heard of manufacture though - but looks like a great budget deal. 

What do you guys think?

this legit looks like an optane drive lmfao 

 

and this: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/ft8j4D/crucial-mx500-500gb-25-solid-state-drive-ct500mx500ssd1 is 2 dollars more, 20 gb more, however it is SATA, but higher read/write than that drive, AND its from a very good company.

It's a good price indeed, but at the end of the day it's just a SATA m.2 drive, not an NVMe.  480/400 speeds are actually lower than the 550/500 you'll get from most 2.5" SSDs.

[Imbellis]

It's not NVME, so the only advantage is the small size. There are a couple 480GB drives that are $50. It'll probably be slower than normal Sata SSDs because it's TLC.

 

I'm only slightly interested in it because I'm into SFF with dual M.2s.

TH3R34P3R, Captain Chaos,  how is this 'Slid'?

Massdrop when viewed through facebook view and email view; this is way copied links work.

Please Don't... accuse me of hiding or doing something sneaky. 

Sneaky or slipping something in would be using a Ulr masking link like Tinyurl in my post. Which I see plenty of users using. 

You see what it gives when I click 'copy url' link. 

They use this to track who liked a deal enough to share with the world.

I found out about massdrop through Linus tech tips; when they were sponsored by them. If you already have massdrop login The ref code does nothing (other then track link) .

If you Don't have M.D. account, or are not already a member, and you sign up, you get additional 10 dollars off your first purchase since you clicked a link shared by another existing member. 

"Give $10, Get $10

 

Introduce a friend to Massdrop. They'll get $10 when they sign up, and you'll get $10 credit once they complete their first drop. Only for new Massdrop members."   

 

Nothing about this is secret or hidden, as if you don't have a Massdrop account and sign up as soon as you click on one of the links, 

It will tell you the name of the person who put the link, and says

'___________ gave you $10 to spend on your first purchase on Massdrop!'

I get a email if someone signs up to Massdrop and I would only get credit if someone actually buys something. 

If I actually do get credit it will be going to one of the science toys for my Autistic son, or possibly a replacement monitor.

If these links are against terms of service, please note people won't be sharing stuff from places like massdrop as this is way the link works. 

When I'm posting something cool that is limited time I don't have time to edit url a companies link gives. If you see a ref link and you don't wish to partake of discount or giving linker credit you may remove the code from link when you copy it to your browser. I'm sure the forum could also auto blank or warn users if this is a problem. 

Again, peace, i'm only here to try to share geeky finds, knowledge, maybe a friend or two and delay the heat death of the universe for a few more seconds at a time. Not to create flame wars or make anyone upset
