Default 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.

Thought so.

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.

(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!

It's dangerous to remember colors. Check specification, carefully!

I did and was wrong, initially to mistake what WD's Sandisk operations
is still doing. The Blue is provided and publicized for a Marvel
Controller. SMT, though, may exceed branding identification for the
wider industry.
