Priced at just $88 for the 1 TB version, the Silicon Power PC60 is more affordable than the cheapest SATA drives on the market, just 9 cents per GB. With read-heavy workloads, it performs well, reaching speeds of around 500 MB/s, but writes are not as good.

random 4k write lacks a lot, so for use as a main disk is a no go, this is perfect for backup but 1tb or 2tb in size is not good, 8tb plus would be great at moment but then price would have to be reduced a lot because there are 8tb ssd's very good and at good price already, for example Samsung 870 QVO for $900. So if we take this drive 1 = $90, 8 x 90 = $720, that is just too expensive x Samsung 870 QVO. Now if they do a $399 ~ $499 then it might be a good buy.

8tb hd's are around $150, if ssds can be 2x for the same size that then that is a good buy. So for this drive be appealing, 8TB for $300.

Well at least it’s TLC vs QLC.
