The silicon Power 2TB SATA 2.5" SSDs were $72 lately @ Newegg. Might have been a ShellShocker yesterday.

I HAVE heard of SATA SSDs being of "fake capacity". I don't THINK these particular ones are fake (seen them in Toasty Bros pre-built teardown and review from time to time), but the low-low price makes me wonder. A little. NAND and DRAM keep trending cheaper.

I knew about fake drives, but thought that was mostly the little flash pen drives. I wonder what the best way to check? I have a program that can check a flash drive, but don't know if it works on sata drives.

and here's a positive review of a 51RISC RX 5600XT GPU, that uses normal AMD drivers.

Stay away from Nvidia mobile-on-desktop GPUs, and you'll probably be OK.

Thought I'd follow up on this Larry.

I got the drive. Nothing in the packaging looks suspicious. I hooked it to a Sata to usb adapter cable and tested it some.

I ran FAKEFLASHTEST on it, and it came up OK (not a fake).

I ran crystal disk mark and it looked as good as any other 2.5" sata I have laying around.

I ran crystal disk info ...


I don't know how well it will hold up over time and useage, but so far I think it was well worth the $15 cost to have a spare. I wish they had 1 or 2 TB drives at commensurate prices. Thanks again for the original post!

4TB Leven. DRAMLESS
174.99


I want to see someone find something cheaper, as i think we just hit the floor on >2TB SSD's.

I have 4 of there dram versions running in my brothers system in R-0.
They have been really good.
I bearly notice any difference between my sandisk extremes.

But these are DRAMLESS versions, and not the ones with DRAM that i have.
Would make awesome storage ssd's on possibly a dedicated controller with built in DRAM.

I don't recommend anyone buy thr leven 4 tb version. If you look at Amazon's customer recent review for just the 4tb model, it's straight 1 star.

PNY CS900 SATA 4TB @ Newegg is $169

Much better brand name.

Oh! 3rd-party Chinese seller, do NOT recommend after all.

PNY screwed me badly about 20 years ago on a video card. (GT6800) I don't think I'll ever give them another dime...no matter how good the deal seems.

i own 8 of them.
Although they are the DRAM version.
I also bought them from LEVEN direct on AMAZON.



So far i have had not had any issues.
I only see a few negative for the 4TB:

Amazon.com: Customer reviews: LEVEN JS600 SSD 4TB Internal Solid State Drive, Up to 550MB/s, Compatible with Laptop and PC Desktops

Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for LEVEN JS600 SSD 4TB Internal Solid State Drive, Up to 550MB/s, Compatible with Laptop and PC Desktops at Amazon.com. Read honest and unbiased product reviews from our users.
www.amazon.com

But again YMMV, and mine are the DRAM versions.
QC could of fallen since i bought mine, especially after the pandemic.

But going from reviews, most are the smaller cap ones.
I hate how Amazon just clumps them all in one review with no way to sort them.

LEVEN is a well known Taiwanese company.

Leven JS600 1 TB SATA3 SSD review

Leven is a Taiwanese company established in 1996. It’s not known very well in Europe, where Amazon is its primary retailer. The JS600 is the best SATA model from this company, and 1 TB is the highest available capacity. This SATA SSD was built with an SMI controller paired with 3D TLC NAND...

They been around since 96.

They are not to be confused with other chinese vendors like KingDian, which is straight up made in Shenzen China.

I have the 2 TB DRAM m2 version, so far so good fingers cross. The 4TB non dram version seem to have the worst review. One guy bought 8 and had 5 fail within a couple of months. From going through numerous reviews, I'm guessing overheating seems to be an issue. So if anyone chances the dramless one, slap a heatsink + fan on it.

Perhaps the DRAM ones are slightly hight quality. My has a heatplate on it
