Mmmkaay
i go to my corner and cry over my 1tb NVMe SSD wishlist ... i have a XPG Gamix S11 Pro 512gb to replace :laugh:
pure garbage highest failure rates I have ever seen out of a ssd are 256gb hynix drives
That said, yes, it's all Hynix branded chips on the drive now, rather than Intel as it was up until this point.
(yeah i know ... that is quite the apple to banana comparison i do here... but the user experience leading to the behaviour against the brand is the same. )
that being said ... Razer is still not bought by another brand... so... still garbage imoho (in my own honest opinion)
for instance i saw some good brand turning garbage after acquisition ... i.e.: Saitek when acquired by Madcatz (luckily Logitech took Saitek products from Madcatz paws ... and between my previous Saitek/Madcatz Rhino X56 and the Saitek/Logitech Rhino X56 it's almost night and day, lets say that it's almost back to the original Saitek Rhino X56 )
2TB max...pass
Gimme 18TB gen 12.485, or gimme death, hehehehe :roll:

the sliding scale is quite long
and its a pattern every 256GB SK hynix drive I have pulled out of a oem has died early and the same way to many bad cells
