Top Comments of this video!! :3
I have multiple Netac and KingSpec NVMe and SATA M.2 drives in 3 of my machines, with not a single issue coming from any of them. Heck, my download storage drive is a 1TB Netac M.2 drive I bought 5 years ago that has out lasted 3 Samsung drives, 2 Crucial drives, and a WD drive. All M.2 drives. I would happily recommend both Kingspec and Netac, and have been doing so for many years already.

Sometimes those adaptors may not work as fast as you think. Due to the 2nd m.2 slot of a MSI mother board when used cuts off the the 2nd 15 video slot. That makes that slot go bye bye. If you buy an adaptor for that 16 slot buy one that holds more than one m.2 slot on it and do not use the 2nd slot on the motherboard. Check all that stuff out. In most cases it does not matter. You may get at best 4x2 from them. Still way faster than SATA. With any SSD buy use the ones with DRAM.

The video is great and helps everyone avoid inferior products, but as a Chinese, I think it needs to be emphasized that not all SSDs from China are inferior. Almost all of the ssds
in this video are trash. If you want to purchase SSDs from Chinese brands, the following are the brands that can be purchased: ZHITAI, Acer, aigo, fanxiang. Nowadays, the price of SSD has significantly decreased. If you are willing to investigate, you will find that a large part of this is attributed to Yangtze Memory (the parent company of Zhitai), which has developed an advanced xtacking architecture and won a reputation for its high-speed and high-quality performance.

I use a 2TB "Fanxiang" drive I picked for 55 USD for games. While the write speed is impacted when the drive is full, the read speed and responsiveness is still extremely good. And as you said, the 100 MB/s limitation doesn't matter even when downloading games on a fast connection. And also, games aren't very precious because I can just re-download them from steam. In conclusion, I think these are good drives for games, bad for data or actual productivity work that requires a lot of write operations.

With this stuff you get what you pay for. They definitely have their use cases for a lot of people who are not writing gigabytes of data all at once. The MSI drive certainly seemed reasonable even with the dropped speeds. If you really wanted to test the quality you should have written to them until the drives died and record the MTBF. You should never trust any drive with your data no matter how expensive it is. Backup is key to at least one other drive, but ideally you want to back up to two other secondary drives in case the primary drive fails.

From 2021 to 2023 on my personal computer I have a 256 GB Nvme Netac NV2000 and to date it has 8 TB Written and 95% Life Remaining.
On the other hand, from January 2023 to date, 7 months on my mother's computer has a Nvme Adata Legend 700, it has 5 TB Written and 92% remaining life
I recommend NETAC 1001%👍👍👍

As a guy who has built a good few PCs over the past 8 years for friends and family....I've found that Patriot, PNY, Kingston and Crucial are very reliable budget drives with good durability, real time speeds and compatibilty for multiple mobos (estimated builds @100 and mostly AMD CPUs admittedly from my experience). I usually go with whatever is on sale/best price at the time and have no hesitations recommending them. Great bang for buck. Especially if upgrading a laptop or older PC from a HDD. (I've had laptops with M.2s sitting empty).
Believe it or not, Western Digital and Seagate drives have been less reliable/warranty breakers at times. Personally, I've had a 1TB WD and a 2TB HDD in my systems for 13 years with zero issues and still looking "Good" with CrystalMark.
This has been very informative about other cheap SSDs and pretty much what I expected. Apart from that fake Kingspin drive. Waow. What a minger.
I'm vouching for Patriot drives lasting at least 3 years with no issues reported back.
As I said, good bang for buck real life performance and no reliability issues compared to the others...
MSI looks a good option too
My 2 cents.

The "pyrometer" at 3:23 is held too far away from the drive to give an accurate reading. The area thermally measured is shaped like a cone and the further away the pyrometer is from the object, the larger the measurement area is. (The red dot is just for aiming, but does actually do any measuring)

How i've never heard about this channel? This review is so complete that i don't have any ideia of what he's talking about. I mean, until now SSD for me are all the same thing! Nice work man, already own a new sub.
