Great prices on some budget SSD and motherboard models.
The WD Green drive price is limited to 94 units. They're special promo units from WD, so it's limited to stock on hand. The current sale price is below cost compared to our usual price for that model.
$95 MSI B450M-A PRO MAX II AM4 mATX Motherboard
$25 WD Green 240GB 2.5" SATA SSD
WD lists 80MB/s sequential write performance for the 120GB SATA model. That's pretty bad - less than half what a modern HDDs are rated for - but still 3x-4x what I associate with USB2 flash drives (~20MB/s).
i have the same 240gb ssd used almost daily in my pc since around june 2018 and it still works great and read and wright speeds are good
I tried one for a steam library to free up space on my nvme, and it was terrible. If a SSD cant keep up with internet, its trash.
Do you have any cheap 4tb ssds?
To share my experience with WD green.
Got two 2tb nvme drives for mostly static file storage. Performance at 1.6gb mark completely collapsed. I think I'm getting below USB2 stick throughput in writes. Reading is fine.
Makes me question the usability of 250gb…
