You can get MLC NVME drive for less than this. Google sm961, samsung OEM drive (960 pro/evo) with MLC NAND, 1tb goes for $150 pretty frequently (256gb went for $40) and will own this drive in any metric.

AnzialYeah and the Adata SX8200 1TB that's going for $170 CAD will own the SM961 in a bunch of tests. NVME isn't SATA... I can natively only have one M.2 drive but I can have 6 SATA drives and 6 1TB versions of this in RAID 0 would actually hang with the SM961 in a lot of real world tests.
In the SATA space this goes against the 860 Evo or the Micron MX500.

SaskAudioGuythat's not the point now, is it? The point is that MD overpriced this crap to the max. NVME is always more expensive and yet, in this case a better performing drive is cheaper than this POS. But hey, you wanna run a bunch of SATA drives in RAID0 and risk data loss (even more so with 6 of them!), then more power to ya.

AnzialLoL I was making like of how you were comparing apples to oranges. An OEM NVME drive with what warranty and no software support, though you can find firmware updates if you look against a retail SATA drive with 5 years of warranty and software.
I never touched on the price of this, argued the price of your NVME comparison. The big thing here was that I was making light of your ludicrous comparison by making my own ludicrous comparison.
Then grounded it in reality with actual competitors but... yes if you need or can fit another NVME drive into your system, a SM961 or SX8200 is a far faster option than this, but if you need a SATA drive...
Amazon US comparison for 1TB options:
MX500 $110
860 PRO $300
860 EVO $140
860 QVO $130 - ewww storage drive only
