[SOLVED] Ramsta s800 good?

[Lil’bertz]

if you look at its specs, it has a 3d nand tlc chips in low price. im thinking it’s only good on paper.

For what it is, it's 'meh'.

It's not as readily available as it once was - so I can't verify prices. What are you seeing?
Given what I can find would suggest a 480GB variant to be ~$110 USD (or local equivalent), I'd rather have a Crucial BX500 480GB or Western Digital Blue 500GB for <$60

Hmm. Quick glance shows SMI controller and 3D TLC. This picture clearly shows the DRAM-less SM2258XT yet this one shows the SM2258 w/DRAM and legacy Intel flash. So it's likely along the lines of other "Chinese" drives like the KingDian S280, TC Sunbow X3, even L5 Lite 3D: probably second tier flash with variable controller.

my local computer shop (im not from US) sells the 480 GB for $57 USD (converted and rounded off). but if thats the case i would buy rather buy those drives you mentioned or better like the all time favorite samsung 860 evo or the cheaper crucial mx500

so it’s like a lottery where there is a chance that you can the best or the worst chips? there one video in youtube (idk the link is) that he said its good.

Pretty much. That is not uncommon with BOM (bill of materials) drives because they use whatever they have on hand. Generally it will be SM2258 or SM2258XT, and generally the flash will be 3D TLC, specifics beyond that are random.
