Wow, you just open up more choices for me. Haha, The Sabrent brand is unheard off to me but when i googled for reviews, its seems to be highly recommended. Thank you thank you.

The blue/white color Sabrent M.2 is using Micron QLC Nand, not TLC Nand. That's why it's cheaper. If price is same, always go for TLC Nand.
Fewer bits are written to TLC NAND compared to QLC memory, TLC can withstand a higher number of program/erase cycles before its cells start wearing out.

Yes, TLC is more lasting. My 5yrs old SAMSUNG 860 is still working very well. haha

Western Digital WDS100T3X0C

https://documents.westerndigital.co...ssd/product-brief-wd-black-sn750-nvme-ssd.pdf

Read speeds up to 3,470MB/s² (1TB heatsinkmodel only) for improved load time
if nonheatsink model what is the speed then

now then i realised :s22::s22:


it is better to get this SSD
Silicon Power 1TB
Read 3,400MB/s²
Write 3.000MB/s²
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07L6GF81L/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Saw a review about the WD SSD with and without heatsink. Quite insignificant difference for performance wise. But not sure whether the longevity of the SSD will be affected.

You still can select the heatsink model in the ordering page,SGD252.85. Close to 100 cheaper than Singapore resellers.

Do check if your motherboard has its own heatsink that can be mounted on the NVMe SSD. Mine has that option so getting the non heatsink version is fine for me.

With or without heatsink, it's the same SSD with the same performance. The performance numbers are in the last two pages of the doc you linked. :)

Was able to buy this sn750 1tb at USD109 from B&H.

Will use ezbuy to forward to SG as advised by another member.

Iirc no agent fee. I also managed to snag one 1TB for US$109 from BH although its back-ordered. not in a rush for it so dont mind waiting.

actually what's the difference? with heatsink and without? is there a performance problem?

There needs to be adequate cooling within your system otherwise the performance will be affected and from what I've read on NVMe SSD's you run the risk of loosing data as well as shortening the lifespan of the SSD.

A lot of motherboards now have the NVMe SSD slots under a heatsink to address this. IF you happen to use a motherboard that does not have this then it might be worth shelling out a little extra to get one with a heatsink!

On the flip side of things, the NVMe's that do come with a heatsink have a void sticker if you are to remove the heatsink and use the motherboards heatsink - this is exactly my situation so I've left my Aorus NVMe with its heatsink on and used it as is,... would love to remove it but not going to blow the warranty to do it!
