    What a junk of a company, they are they still in service. That is amongst the lowest customer rating I have ever seen.

    I rather trust Comcast cable with my money then them.

    my bx100 has been shipped.

    but ill post again when i get it.

    however, the price i posted orignally has changed i dont think you can get one for as cheap from jet anymore.

    the sandisk ultra ii

    https://jet.com/product/detail/92f2...2tSbzFnpkrubFXAFFq2x_nJ_jKaQpkmM3AaAnfM8P8HAQ

    still goes for 241 shipped if you use 20now code.

    i compared these two closely before i ordered and i wanted the bx100 because it has the lowest power consumption.

    Now the SanDisk is 50 more now too


    Don't know if there Are others cheap now or not because I already got mine and am not shopping

    Hope someone jumped on these deals while they were here.
    Jet is famous for raising prices fast.

    I don't know precisely what you buy a ssd for. But it's possible this one with mlc might last the longest.

    But the endurance test actually showed the Samsung's lasted the longest and almost all of them lasted longer than human lifespan.

    Samsung 850 is also the fastest non pro but the truth is they are all fast.

    I went with micron who uses the smallest chips with the lowest power use.

    Although i also have a Samsung 850 m2 in my array
