Unofficial word is 120GB and 240GB are the ones to own. Anything larger is not a wise purchase no matter what it looks like on paper. ;)

"DRAMless"

Didn't really have to read the rest of the review. It's cheap, but slow, but faster than a HDD.

This SSD is slower than some of the fastest SATA SSDs in existence, what a shame really.

Well its nice if you hate resonating HDDs in the case or havent got space for them.

That's about it.

Let's help you out a bit then;
Early in the development of DRAMless SSDs we were told the technology would decrease power consumption. DRAMless drives often deliver low idle consumption results but use more power to perform background activities. In our experience, the additional power required to keep the drive running optimally outweighs the reduction in idle power. The 480GB Inland SATA III SSD isn't a strong choice for use in a notebook as the primary storage drive.
Not an issue for desktop/workstation systems. And even if it's not ideal compared to other SSD's on the market, it's still better than a standard HDD.
Well its nice if you hate resonating HDDs in the case or havent got space for them. That's about it.
Are you deliberately being contrary here? The benchmarks show the drive, while not the best performing SSD out there(within a few percent), leaves standard HDD's in the dust. And that would be true even if it were performing at half it's tested speeds.

This is a good bargain. The only worry is the longevity of the drive. Still, Amazon is backing it so it has at least has some warranty.

Well, the price is right and that's about it. The performance is NOT there where it matters, in random read it can be almost half as zippy as an MX500 for example and it also loses hard in low Queue Depths. Sequential is OK, but that is hardly relevant if you use this as an application disk.

Remember, if its too good to be true...

I also remember shaky controllers of the past like OCZ drives used to have and how they went down in history. Storage is still a product that relies heavily on endurance and reliability and the reason you get an SSD is to have that combined with speed. This drive has significantly less of all of that.

I mean this is even worse than half the performance of a decent SSD.

Now, compare that performance to the price gap of a mere 35 bucks and translate it to relative numbers. Suddenly doesn't look like that much of a bargain to me... You pay about 30% less for a drive that has over 60% less performance where it counts.

4K random reads as great to max out differences between drives, but have very little impact on modern systems. The 128K reads are what i would consider a good reflection of how an SSD these days will deal with something like loading a complex game, like lets say Star Citizen for example.

In reality, I could swap your MX500 with one of these in your sleep, and you may never know it ever happened.
Lets be fair here. 4K is not "where it counts". No modern program or game file-system is made out of hundreds or thousands or useless 4KB files.
This is coming from someone who went from SATA to fully fledged Optane based storage for system and some games.

That's not what the review testing shows, but let's pretend you're correct for a moment and review something said above;

Hmm.. So, inexpensive, performs within a few percent of premium SSD's and absolutely smokes HDD's. Not seeing the downside here. Also, you're comparing this drive to a drive nearly twice the price. Bringing that tidbit into the equation gives a better focus to the debate.
Storage is still a product that relies heavily on endurance and reliability and the reason you get an SSD is to have that combined with speed. This drive has significantly less of all of that.
Now the reliability is possibly a good point. However, Micro Center would not be marketing these drives as their in-house brand unless they were at least decently reliable. So there is that to consider.

Big picture viewpoint shows this drive to be a good value for those wanting a good performing, spacious SSD and yet be inexpensive.

Lets be fair here. 4K is not "where it counts".

There are also significant gaps in performance doing every day stuff like the game load test which lasts a full 3 seconds longer. That is noticeable - if I load a multiplayer map every fifteen minutes for example, that major gap with mechanical HDDs isn't all that major anymore.

When it comes to streamed data off this drive the 4K performance matters. And that is another purpose you'd have for cheap but faster storage, another purpose it doesn't really do all too well at.

So back to the original comment I made; its great if you want to or need to lose the HDD and not much more. This is not a performance drive. Its a silent and small one, with no reliability track record.

3 seconds out of 17 total seconds compared to the MX500 at 14 seconds is not a huge difference, even if it's noticeable. That is to say nothing of standard HDD's which can be easily triple that time. That point is very much not an important one.

The benchmarks show it's 4k performance was not stellar, but it was still leaps and bounds better than a HDD. This drive is being marketed to HDD users as a upgrade that will easily eclipse a HDD at a similar price range.

So again you can imply that it isn't that great of an drive, but the facts don't bare that out. You are failing to see the big picture here.

No I'm very aware of the big picture, refer again to the price gap versus the performance gap against other SSD's. I'm quite well on the money here with what I'm saying. The only difference being that you compare to an HDD and I compare to other SSDs. The price/GB however doesn't change and it is already quite close to that of an HDD, the difference that is left in price is much smaller than the difference you get in performance versus faster SSDs.

Do the math. Or let me help you

MX500 500GB: 109,99 / 500 = $0,21 / GB
Inland 480GB: 74,99 / 480 = $0,15 / GB

You save 25% per GB for at least 30% less performance, with situational performance losses of up to 66% if you are relying on 4K performance. On top of that, you have 2 years less warranty.

Running off to the store yet?

How is the steady state performance? I remember that the big problem with the Samsung 840 120 GB, that hardocp reported on, was that its steady state performance was utterly abysmal.

update: Here is the link.

Hugh Briggs said:
The MDX controllers do suffer some read speed degradation in steady state, but for the 120GB 840 this amount of degradation is terrible. This equates to the one strength of the 120GB 840, its read speed, being null and void after regular use.

The read speed of the 120GB Samsung 840 SSD also fell tremendously when we tested in steady state conditions. This removes the one advantage that the product has, making it more suited for sitting on the shelf than setting in your computer.

Oh I do beg your pardon, I was thinking of the MX300 price.

And if someone can't afford $109?

I've been buying these by the dozens as of late and they have a similar performance profile to the one reviewed above;
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076WX8JPH
They are affordable and perform well. Out of the 37 I've bought, not one has failed.
An additional 120GB for about $7? Yes please. So I might just buy a bunch of these Inland drives and try them out.

And to be fair, if I want ultra reliable, I'm going to go with an MX300, not an MX500.

I sold my previous desktop with a brand spanking new one of these in it. New owner was beyond the moon how fast it was compared to what it replaced (probably IDE). $25 well spent and I came away knowing I under promised and over delivered. If you are flipping older budget machines capable of SATA III I'd say they are a very strong option.

That I was since argumentativeness had well taken over and I had posted my thoughts on the 480GB.

"A sports car is slower than some other sports cars on none speed limited roads, but its faster than a bicycle"

Read the review.

I read the review, my point was I didn't have to. Its not that I'm saying it is a bad drive, I'm just saying that is how DRAMless SSDs are, I expected it to be that way, and the review confirmed it.

When you start to look at things like PCMark8, with real world work loads, this drive start to show the shortcomings of DRAMless. They can't handle random access nearly as well, and the random access is what makes an SSD "feel" fast. You can have sequential read and write speeds that are near other SSD, but a common user is almost never writing/reading sequentially unless they are doing a file transfer. But, just like I said, they are still faster than HDDs.

But when you look at price, $73 is not out of this world amazing for a DRAMless SSD with a 3 year warranty. the Team Group L4 Lite and the Patriot Blast are both DRAMless using the same Phison S11 DRAMless controller, and their regular price is $79 and are routinely can be had on sale for $70-75.

When it comes down to it, DRAMless SSDs are just cheap, the inland is the cheapest right now but in a few weeks one of the others will take its place. And if you use a DRAMless SSD to replace a HDD in a normal persons computer, they are going to be amazed at how fast it is. But for most enthusiasts, they are going to be willing to spend the $20 more and grab a WD Blue which are selling on newegg for $94 right now.

Also, anyone saying these are "near HDD prices" if totally full of.... A 1TB 3.5" HDD is $43, and 500GB 2.5" HDD is $42, that's $30 less than the 480GB Inland SSD. These aren't close to HDD prices.

Never said it was a BAD buy. I'm saying its not the bargain people make it out to be and if you look at competition, that is confirmed. @newtekie1 also underlined that very well above me. Of course there is a segment where these are great HDD replacements, I never contested that ;)

I always thought that the 4K benchmarks are the numbers that most closely mirrors that of real world performance.

How many ~4KB files do you have on your system? Windows's DLLs are in the 10-20,000KB average size so....

Yeah but most file systems have a cluster size of 4 KB. So the question is... when the system reads data in from the hard drive, or in this case... the SSD, does it read in the whole 4 KB cluster regardless of whether or not the whole 4 KB cluster is filled with relevant data? With 4 KB cluster sizes, the system reads all data in multiples of 4 KBs.

Or am I barking up the wrong tree here?
