MX500 500GB for $238, where you got that pricing from?

Edit: Btw, <$100 for 500GB SSD has been a norm for quite some time already

Crucial 1TB is 169. 500gb is 98

It's if he die die only wants to buy from Convergent. I think they haven't updated their prices in 2 years.

On Lazada, just check if it's a local set or not.

You can also just go to PC Themes and buy

Go scold the Convergent brand product manager then. Anyway, they so many SSD brands, Transcend, Crucial, WD and SanDick.

My SanDisk plus 240gb using since 2013 lol. Now it's my spare drive. Don't think SSD will fail that easily.

I've had mine fail lol, if you don't have backups you should start doing em because when an SSD fails it just dies instantly, no warnings given.

what model was ur dead ssd?
unless u transfer 1tb/day for like 5 years straight, the only other ways of killing a ssd is power surge and dog eating it.
