WD hi-state = ADATA/Seagate
WD, aside, is labeling branded SSDs to color classes: a color meaning,
accordingly in keeping with a prior tactic, is to provide no info on build assembly, short of taking it apart for chip nomenclature (colors corresponding to an Enterprise grade are spec'd, though). WD also tends to be positioned somewhat high on average sales value, e.g. to Seagate, at a minimum, for typically 2T HDDs. 2T HDD drives and 1T SSD are nearest to convergence with typical Seagate 2T HDD at $60US, and an ADATA SU800, (DRAM equipped and positioned against a better Crucial SSD counterpart), for frequent reoccurring sales to value of $80US. Mechanical drives are hence closer to approaching the alternative solid-state reality. These are, however, Chinese marketing venues, less commonly reflecting [higher] prices reserved for US sources (mark-ups on Amazon or NewEgg). There is an decided imposition to factor for buying from a direct Chinese-sourced vendor, than US sources for known policies and practices. (Additional constraints from a US president and his agenda for 25% tariffs imposed on Chinese goods may affect the future.) A 1T ADATA SSD, however, is close to performance factoring against better reserves occupied by Samsung EVO or Crucial MX drives -- for at as much discounted by 50% over Samsung, and at 25% to Crucial -- potentially both in performance and longevity appreciation. Least to mention, ADATA has established a US corporate presence for enhancement and a closer marketing representation for warranty purposes and assurance. Disclaim: Adata 650 series DRAM-less drives are not a similar value, and closer to a bulk of mainstream pricing for cheapest, among least reliable drives the lowest MTBF associations produced. Sales on up to 4T HDD are neither altogether inconsiderate, if taken infrequently for when they do occur, to effectively approach halving values on 2T class Legacy HDDs. |

Seagate ST4000NC001 4TB 5900RPM 64MB CACHE SATA / TERASCALE CLOUD DRIVE Both Newegg and Amazon are hustling these at $60 - (plus tax, -/+, roughly $70 to your door). New Old Stock, purportedly. Whereas NewEgg is being interlocutor for GoHardDRive, the warranty outfit, Amazon more or less correctly absolves themselves by declaring itself -- disassociative. . . (Swirly red lights flashing: 3rd-party Seller). https://www.seagate.com/support/warr...umer-warranty/ I'd read where the HDD SMART can be reset through a serial port hot-jumper connections to a couple of pins. Then the HDD manufacturer phased it out and corrected the leak: A HDD Shalt Not have its SMART status reset and resold. Which some would accuse GoHardDRive of doing, resetting pulls for new on a NewEgg front. NewEgg Flash Fishscale Sale. Knd of low and too bad NewEgg can't come up with something better to think of to put on their front page, than drives so old Seagate won't touch them with your bargepole. ....case you also want a piece to rub your nose in it. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...51afe3efdb0INT (I can't get into NewEgg for a better look directly through my present echo off Europe. Not that I want to after already looking over how reseller angles are, at least first, prominently displayed from Amazon.) ....or, just go over to Ebay and buy yourself a regular after-market drive, directly out of a shop located in maybe Singaore, that says: We only change plastic sticker from WD or WL. Major Drive for half price! |
