Those prices looks really good. I hope this isnt part of the plan of doing a bait and switch like many NVME and SSD vendors have done lately.

You can expect that from almost every manufacturer of SSDs except perhaps the top-tier like Samsung

Dunno what you think affordable...but it is £330 on Amazon for 1TB 😒
Unless you know different? 😏

And? just because others do, doesn't means its good.

No I was just saying expect it and that you should stick with good manufacturers like Samsung. I never once said that it was good

After researching a bit, I just pulled the trigger on this.
SP is selling the 2TB version, through Amazon, for $169 USD. Hard to beat for the purported performance. I'll be taking the heatsink off since the motherboard I'm getting has a heatsink already.

Buyer beware!

Be warned - new XS70 2TB units no longer use the Phison E18 controller. Unit I just bought only scored 1976 in the 3dMark Storage Benchmark. Love the language on the website -- performance figures are "up to" figures of the E18 unit. Bait and switch losers - need to rename it something else.
