The SL500 offers decent performance measured at 560 MB/s reads with 470 MB/s writes. Open from today, the Giveaway accepts entries till October 25, 2019.

Yep, we need cheaper, bigger and faster SSD's, the games that launch these days are monolithic. I have to store them, our internet is still in the dark ages, it will take me at least 15 days to download the new CoD.

There is no such thing as a faster SSD as we have already hit the limit for SATA3
