Isn't this one of the best high-end SATA SSD's money can buy? I remember it hitting $92 back in late June and then again throughout August but at $80 this is a new historical low.

Has DDR3 DRAM cache, a 700 TBW endurance rating and a 5 year warranty.

Its secret competition used to be the Team T-Force Vulcan(not the Z or G) but it's no longer on the market and only had a 1 TB model at most but it did have a slightly higher 480 TBW endurance rating on the 1 TB model yet just a 3 year warranty. Same DDR3 DRAM cache and same Silicon Motion SM2258 controller too. Sadly it left the market in late 2021/early 2022 after finally hitting $90. I remember this price because it was the day after Christmas.

The random read/write on both these drives are quite impressive for SATA drives nearly hitting 100,000 IOPS.
