Transcend TS8GSSD25S-S 8GB

Using it in small form factor home firewall running pfsense. Been working great for almost a year now running 24/7

Price per GB is high but wanted the higher reliability since it's running my network

Made a great replacement for the ol' Toshiba 4200rpm 6gig drive in a Fujitsu Stylistic LT C-500 and running Win XP SP2. Much faster boot time and app opening

Wish there was a larger drive available with these specs or better

There are alot of mlc ssds with a higher mtbf rating than this and a much higher read/rite. I know that slc is more reliable but for the price, anyone who is just gaming or something shouldn't waste your money on these. Unless you have the money to...

Wow, this is the only SSD with a 5 egg rating, and it's just because people keep writing about the MTFB thing, or whatever it is called. LOL

I really want an SSD! I can't wait until they drop to around $0.10 / GB, like HDDs. They should be cheaper already because people seem to have a lot of problems with them

MTBF is calculated at the component level. It is not determined empirically by "running a bunch of drives for a couple of months ; To calculate MTBF, the operating point of every single component on the circuit board is examined. For example, a 6.3V...

None. It works in my IPCop router just fine

SLC technology, so it'll last longer than an MLC drive, however MLCs are suppose to last at least 5 years or so, so they may be a better deal if your planning on replacing in a few years anyhow. These drives also consume very low power and don't run...

High price/MB

this is really a reply to the mtbf review. I don't own one of these myself but it sure would be nice to have one

reply

fast, cheap, and it claims to be very reliable

reliability claim is not sane

Great drive for Linux OS disk on my new mini-ITX build! VIA VB8001 (new nano board) running an amazing 28W @ idle & 43W at full load (per Kill-a-Watt 4400). An Atom can't do that

relatively high $/MB
