How is it better? Cost wise, it's $5 more online than the TeamGroup SSD.

Buy what you need and ignore the TLC vs. MLC nand crap.
Basically you have to know how you're going to use the product. If you do need to write a fair bit to the hard drive, there is no doubt that MLC nand is preferred since durability makes sense in this case. But all you need is to load up music and listen to them over and over again, then TLC nand will also last a long, long time where there is hardly any need to write to the drive. Also, if you're using this drive in a HTPC where there is not a lot of writing to the drive, the benefits of MLC nand can not be utilized. I have read those "expert" advices based on their point of view and their application may be quite different than others.
It's been cheaper with ebay 15% coupon.George1616 wrote: ↑Great deal for an entry level SSD. 240gb SSD for only $49.99 plus tax. Lowest price I have seen for a 240gb SSD.

FWIW the Team Group one rates higher at UserBenchmark.
You're taking what he said he did as what you could / couldn't do....
there’s also the reliability factor too. Ive bought good quality (Samsung, Crucial MX, Intel) and cheap SSD (OCZ/Toshiba). I even bought a refurb 160gb intel SSD that had 30 TB writes . All my SSDs (as far back as 2010) are running fine under daily usage. The two OCZ SSD that i bought in 2015 both died in 2017. No smart errors/nothing. The OS wouldn’t even boot. Figured it was a corrupted install or something and did a wipe + clean install. Same thing. Swapped the SSD and re-installed. Boom all good.delldeals8 wrote: ↑ Basically you have to know how you're going to use the product.

Sorry I do not agree. Just my humble opinion.
Oh yes, I stayed away from OCZ since they were plagued with problemssaudor wrote: ↑ there’s also the reliability factor too.

Yeah, I'd like to buy it as my Sandisk SSD 240GB died three days ago(it is not recognized by PCs, tried connect it to sata directly or via USB, none of them working, looks like there is no way to get the data back), just before the 3 years warranty expired, filled out the RMA and waiting for the further instruction for how to return it back.gabbo188 wrote: ↑ Looks like amazon has it too: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01N5I ...
