The 'expensive' SSD used for comparison is a 6-7 year old Crucial MX500

Oddly enough this test doesn't even get 300MB/s writes for the Crucial drive, where other benchmarks are 400MB/s or above for the same drive

Yes, a lot of SSD vendors scam their customers by releasing the first batch with a lot of SLC, reviews are released, and then months or years later silently swap it out with inferior flash.


Can confirm. I still use MD500’s
