No, it's not. Only the 60GB model is MLC. You have to read their promotional material carefully.
It is MLC.
Even their "official" website is pretty vague in general, but they do at least cover return shipping for RMAs for products purchased in the US, so that's something. On the other hand, 12 of the 41 Amazon reviews admit to being free/discounted product reviews and another 8-9 seriously sound like they probably are too even though they don't say so, with a smaller handful of mediocre-to-bad reviews and a number of first time SSD buyers who only say "it's great!" thrown in for good measure... Personally, I'd rather go with a known TLC drive, but if someone really wants a cheap MLC drive and is willing to risk the potential hassle of a return or later RMA, it is a current-model option...Maybe we should use one at the same time along with Viagra.......
Seriously tho:
It is MLC. Its Amazon Primed. It has a 3 year warranty if the company is still around.
What little info there is on Drevo's own website about their SSDs is oddly silent on the subject altogether (you'd think it would be a big selling point, although the English is so poor, I guess it could be an oversight?) and that www.ssd-hard-drive.com page, and the Ebay listing it links to, are the only ones I'm seeing that actually claim any of the Drevo drives larger than the 60GB uses MLC, so I really don't know what to make of it. Again personally, I'd at least want email confirmation from Drevo itself before taking a chance on any of the others, if I were otherwise willing to take a chance on them...
Did you notice how the hectron 60g jumped 11 bucks when the name changed to drevoWell, their old Hectron marketing material, when they introduced the drives larger than 60GB, was pretty clear that the 60GB was MLC, but the larger drives were only "Hynix". My understanding was that the larger drives were TLC, but that the smallest drive (60GB) was MLC, because of the parallelism needed for performance at that smaller capacity was only available with MLC dies.

Boo I was also looking for a 1tb or 960gb ssd to replace my main drive in the desktop too. The mushkin 1tb model was $210 on Newegg yesterday.It was only for 600. It looks like that got used up about forty minutes ago.
