Orico Y20 1TB 2.5″ SATA SSD $62.99 Delivered @ ORICO G.O.A.T via Amazon AU
This previously popular SSD is back on sale and this time it’s cheaper than before. Given the low price this is perfectly fine for use a game storage drive or inserted in a 2.5″ enclosure for use as a portable SSD.
This one is offering sequential write speeds up to 500MB/s, sequential read speeds up to 480MB/s with a 300TBW and pSLC cache instead of DRAM cache.
As for the technical aspects I checked out a heap of Japanese/Russian reviews and even asked Orico directly to verify. The 1TB capacity SSDs are using Intel QLC flash memory with either SMI or Yeestor controllers depending on the batch. QLC + DRAMless is why it’s so cheap compared to ones with TLC and/or DRAM.
