Review on πŸ’Ύ Transcend 230S 128GB SATA III 6GB/S MSA230S mSATA SSD Solid State Drive TS128GMSA230S by Sean Huff

Unrecoverable CRC errors

Like the other reviewer, I bought this 64GB hard drive to install pfsense on (2.4.5-p1). I installed it in msata slot in Protectli FW2B. I booted from the flash drive, followed the pfsense tui installation wizard and after choosing my partition scheme (tried both gpt and mbr) I immediately started throwing "uncorrectable crc" errors. Maybe this is some weird incompatibility with pfsense, or maybe transcend is just crappy qa/binning. It doesn't work for me anyway, so they send it back and I use Kingston instead.
