Wonder what TBW translates into my 128G Samsung 840 Evo;- all my
drives are evidently MLC, however and although called VNAND in this
(3-bit) iteration;- The recent HP 700 256G was at a point of change
from planar MLC, on my model, to whatever they switched to short after
and since - probably TLC.

Arrived crushed with a ripped manila-bubbled envelope. Primo shipping
aside, that's conditionally about $20 less than Amazon for Samsung's
first time up under $100 on this drive;- contents were one crushed
Samsung cardboard box corner with otherwise indications of genuine
seals for relevant/contact warranty point of origin, in addition,
which I'd mistaken for 3 years at half the TBW site specs. No
protection for otherwise no evidence of a SSD physically busted in
half or little bitty pieces.

Production date 2019/10. Fresh off Korean assembly lines. Amen. Ser#

I'm inclined the site's not lying.

Cursory full logical partition/OEM at FAT32 (NTFS is a terrorist bomb)
is cursorily status fact a SDD, a third or less for fast computers, I
don't build, compared to Samsung's testbed (an ASUS and so on it would
appear) speed ratings.

Fine. Works and highly likely gets it on for more and longer and
better. I'd only rather killed this deal, the price I paid being
nothing special to other than a slight clip skewed for 10% additional
markup over the discounted holidays' deal I struck at.

Beyond promoted pure for highest quality at somewhat a relevancy and
discrepancy for lots of other brand values. I'd imagine. Think of
this way: It's ordinarily four 256G drives for $25 each at the
bottom-barrel TLC/QLC deals, except they're not and all Samsung's.


On my new build, I opted for a PNY 1TB CS3030 NVME drive that is rated
at 3500 MB/s read and 3000 write, with 1665 TBW and 5 year limited
warranty, and am very happy with that. It is way faster than my previous
SSD's. Going for less than $120 now.

My "new" motherboard is a GA-Z270XP-SLI that I bought off Craigslist for
$40 with a Celeron G3930 processor. I have modified the Bios to run an
I7 8700K processor, which seems to work great on the board it is not
supposed to even work on. This machine should last me a long time. Big
step from my 2500K PC. Anyone wanting to know more, search for "Coffee
lake mod for Kaby lake", especially on the win-raid site.
