abillybob Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Hey Guys Found this and just ordered one Reviews look very good over the internet from places like CNET and PCMag. Seagate 600 Series 480GB 2.5inch SATA-III SSD | Ebuyer.com Seems a fast, solid SSD and very good for the price thought some of you maybe interested! 2
featured_spectre Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 I'll steer clear...its seagate! They're not exactly renowned for HDD (or SSD) longevity! But thanks anyway.
abillybob Posted February 28, 2014 Author Posted February 28, 2014 That's ok I know Seagate isn't to everyone's taste. Though I must say I have had a 3TB Hard Drive off them to put in my server and it's been on consistently for over a year now and not one issue. There support is fantastic aswell, it seems they have really got better as time has gone on. Here's a link to a long term review: Seagate 600 Series 480GB RAID 0 SSD Report | TweakTown with the most predictable, and consistent, long term performance of any SSD array we've tested to date.
LosOjos Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 I'll steer clear...its seagate! They're not exactly renowned for HDD (or SSD) longevity! But thanks anyway. True, but it's using the same Link-A-Media LM87800 controller as the Corsair Neutron series and it seems to be regarded as a very solid bit of kit and online reviews all seem favourable. Could be worth a punt at this price...
abillybob Posted February 28, 2014 Author Posted February 28, 2014 When the deal came out at 9:00 they had 999 in stock now just under 100 seem to be selling very well, the controller seems a sturdy choice as LosOjos pointed out and the drive has good reviews all round. Bundle that with it's 3 year Seagate warranty and 480GB capacity and you have yourself a sale my friend!
mac_shinobi Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 How do the seagate SSD's compare to the M500 by crucial ?
LosOjos Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 How do the seagate SSD's compare to the M500 by crucial ? Lot's of factors to take in to account, but a quick comparison on SSD boss puts them pretty much on a par, with the Seagate scoring slightly higher (not enough to say it's particularly 'better' than the M500): Seagate 600 SSD vs Crucial M500 480 GB SATA III
