seems like quite expensive as compared to other brands with similar capacity~

I wonder why their drives are 240gb in size while other brands 256gb~?

 

[Gribber]

any speedtest from Strontium?

Strontium I think is using Toshiba drives (according to reviews back then). Now no idea.

Toshiba SSD last i benchmarked was pretty decent as well (480MB/s,460MB/s).

PROS: A low cost SSD that is fast enough for casual users.

CONS: What drive did I just buy: silver, black, Micron, SpecTek? Questionable flash, questionable marketing, and unknown reliability.

VERDICT : The Transcend SSD370 just backs up what major SSD makers have said for years. If you want a guaranteed product you need to buy from a fab. The CONS section shows it perfectly. You might as well roll the dice and see what you get when ordering a Transcend SSD370.

That moment when you realize that the Samsung 840 EVO read performance drop is caused by charge loss (i.e. data loss)

Sounds like the Transcend 370 series isnt such a good deal after all.

"I don't hand out the "Recommended by AnandTech" award very often, but I think it's justified in this case. It's not an overstatement to say that the SSD370 is overall the highest performing value drive and on top of that the pricing is very alluring."
