128GB SanDisk Ultra Plus SSD at newegg - $52

[AndThenThereWas1]

Its not the best SSD, but for less than 50 cents a GB i think itll do. Sequential read speeds up to 530MB/s and write speeds up to 290MB/s. Use promo code VCO for an extra 10% off.

Better read up on it and find out if it REALLY hits those speeds.

Like cheaper SSD's some of those rated speeds are for 'specific' circumstances & not effectively the actual speeds.

review is great, but with the latest from PNY and Kingston, the reviewers got

synchronous NAND chips and in production used a "lesser" (asynchronous)

equivalent for retail, thus lowering retail purchasers realized performance.

 

if this is truly what is happening, gunna be some worldwide class action lawsuits.
