How good (or bad) is a 110 M2 SSD bought from Amazon? We received an email from Addlink claiming they offer an SSD (Addlink S70 1TB NVMe PCIe 3x4 SSD) that often gets compared to fast as Samsung EVO 970's nightmare in relation the price of just 114 USD for 1TB.

Fast ... but what about durable !? How will they handle warranty if it will brake after a year or two ! ... Also, how it will handle data when let's say 90% is full .
I will keep an eye for this as the price is really good but thinking about it a corsair MP510 960 Gb is 150 euro. you lose 40 GB , but what you gain ?

theres actually another one even cheaper than that one, but not sure how it performs.

I think comparably sized 970 Evo Plus have a slightly larger dynamic SLC cache, but apart from that I think these drives are at least as fast if not faster from the data I've seen. Note I mention the Evo Plus, because I think these drives are better in every way than the plain 970 Evo, but the Evo 970 Plus is a little faster for big file transfers. You only really need the larger SLC cache if you're transferring massive files all the time - larger than 27GB. I've got an E12 Phison drive (they come under loads of brand names) and I've got the 1TB Sabrent Rocket, and just like this drive shown in this review the transfer speed drops after 27GB, but it only drops to 1GB/s sustained, and I don't transfer large files so it makes no difference. These Phison E12 drives are cheaper and faster than 970 Evo, and comparable to 970 Evo Plus. I see no point in buying overpriced Samsung drives as a consumer, I'd rather support the underdog, save some bucks, and feel like I'm a winner!
@insp1re2600 , I've got that drive and I mentioned it in the previous paragraph of this post.

Another great review - cheers!
Very impressive drive for the price and one I'll definitely keep in mind for a new AMD build next month. HDD storage replacement is progressing well. What we need now, particularly for boot drives, is real progress in lowering QD1 speeds with much better pricing (i.e. not Optane level).

I haven't studied the SSD prices for a year, but that looks pretty impressive with my year old knowledge. Of course I'd be inclined to hesitate a bit with a never heard of brand, but on the other hand, SSD tech is starting to be quite standard and nondescript these days, so who knows. SSDs have no intensely moving parts like the spinning HDDs, so in a certain sense you can achieve more with less internal engineering R&D at your specific company. You can just buy pretty much all the components from the same places everybody else does, unlike with the old HDDs where you had to manufacture the mechanical parts yourself (which is why there are/were only a few manufacturers).
