What are your costings for the 1Tb Crucial drives Greg?
I normally purchase 240Gb's, they are really coming down in cost compared to 3rd qtr last year.

Anyone here using Sandisk SSDs? I've seen them (not 1TB, though) at very cheap prices on ebuyer.

Compared to the 1TB I bought on Thursday it's cheap £610.00
It's for a Mac and is a PCI NVME

Several members here use SanDisk including me. No issues and no returns. In order I like Samsung, SanDisk then Kingston.

I believe Western Digital bought out Sandisk, and their WD Blue 3D SSDs (which I believe are Sandisk progeny) are my second choice after Samsung, although I have read reviews indicating they do not provide the best performance. IIRC, @YeOldeStonecat also uses them as one of his preferred choices.

Thanks all. Good to know. Sometimes, when things look like a real steal, you find out too late there's a reason for that...

It's because it's NVME. All of those types drives are double to triple the cost of their comparable sized 2.5" formats.

I know some don't really like them. I've done a handful of the 960gb and have had no problems.

I've installed several for customers. I also installed one (a 240GB) in my personal MacBook Pro (17-inch, Early 2009) about 5 years ago, and it lasted until December 2017, when a sector went bad (according to Disk Warrior 5).

I use mostly Crucial now, but wouldn't hesitate to use Kingston again.
The only one's I'll never touch again are OCZ (Toshiba)!

Yeah they're one of the 3 brands we'll get, Crucial is first, also get Samsungs. Although I run far away from WD Blue "spinner" drives, their Blue SSD are a relabeled top of the line Sandisk model so they're good!
These Crucial 1TBs are finally making large SSDs that still have good features quite affordable now. Love it!
