Apparently no one can read: this is MLC not TLC memory. It is going to use more chips per storage quantity, have higher endurance, and possibly be faster. But if you didn't know that you probably aren't in the market for this drive.

AtomkinderStill overpriced x2, mlc 2tb are like $280 not only that but MLC isn't worlds better than TLC and if you really want endurance and it actually mattered you wouldn't be buying this anyway.

Amw86Any other manufacturers at this price point with a six year warranty? Genuine question.
At any rate, I couldn't find this drive anywhere for less, so if it's not in someone's interest to buy this one, they should just move on. Lots of people on MD seem to love complaining that they're members more than offering better alternatives or just leaving, and I got rather sick of it (not saying you're doing this now, just a general observation).

AtomkinderMassdrop is supposed to be about deals, not just buying something at retail or over market cost haha. the SSD market is volatile right now, everything's dropping, some brands are ahead of the curve.
I would love to hear anyone's use case argument for needing MLC over TLC that justifies paying double the price of a TLC drive, you could buy two TLC drives......
go buy a Samsung 860 Pro, last chance I checked the Pro line is MLC and it will only run you about $430(on sale)
on a TLC drive you can rewrite a block like somewhere between 3000-5000 times....no consumer is going to do that....maybe before they die.

Atomkinder3D Nand MLC is common today in SSD, yes slightly less performance than MLC. Still MLC is not SLC..
IMO doesn't make sense to get one of these when you can for half the price get a WD 1TB SSD with 3 year warranty. 1.75 MTBF and 400TB write endurance.. Most common usage would mean several years past 3 year warranty and it still would work..
Nevertheless, 400 Terabyte write endurance for a storage for average user would mean 10+ years. Unless you move files all day long back and forth and delete, normal users wouldn't need more.
This is not a value IMO.
