#HYPE-ON-STORAGE-SLABS-PLAN
around $150 for 64GB shipping and import duty is extra, it will cross $200 just for a 64GB!
CANT-STOP-WONT-STOP!
STORAGE SERVERS HYPE!
Real question is do you need SLC SSDs for normal usage.
Moooore
Or less for the giveaway starved
Mooooooore’s law hype
I want SLC for swap partition, fast and durable but costly, one idea was that i seek used SLC but the venture went futile used SLCs especially small capacity ones are as rare as unicorns!
SLC giveaway For TrK
I am also looking for MLC like SP600 but also can't find them available nearby or online, without getting them imported!
The MLCs available(real 2 bit MLC not 3bit MLC like in samsung pro series) are either too costly going as far as $100 for 128GB or just missing specs to know if it's even MLC or not.
well if i can't find any SLC or MLC i might just cheap TLC, costs around $15 for 128GB and see how long does $15 TLC will run and replace if faulty not efficient but only a thought i will consider if i really can't find any pure SLC or MLC.
HYPE FOR DRIVES!
What will you use it for ?
Cool
Building a server at home, and expose it to the internet using cloudflare tunnels, gotta have a backup server at home so all the important data is backed up at my place.
And i did find one used SLC in the second hand market but the drive health was detoriated it had only a little health remaining but was seriously cheap like $150 for 1TB, i didn't get it though detoriated disks are same as getting a TLC although i can get a TLC 1TB under $100.
Makes sense why you are going for high end HW.
If it is for personal use does it make a big difference?
Hype for SLC hyperdrives
typically not, but the use case is entirely different. TLC will run out of life quickier if i set it as swap disk.
Hype, Hype, Hype!
And that's the only reason swap disks are recommended on traditional hard drives instead of TLC as there is lots of I/O stuff going on SWAPS especially if you are on windows the pagefile will juice it hard out of TLC sure the performance will be slower with HDD but your TLC life will be prolonged!
