Review on 💾 TC SUNBOW 2TB SSD - Enhanced SATA III 3D NAND Cache Performance, 2.5 Inch Internal Solid State Drive, Speeds up to 560MB/s by Anthony Heinrichs

Who needs a 60GB SSD? Yes of course. Installed Windows XP for nostalgia for it and it tears past the loading screen. Aside from the fact that Windows XP was never designed for SSDs, I had to manually TRIM and align partitions to keep the drive from wearing out quickly, but that's not the SSD's fault. Ran the benchmark and was higher than advertised, but another listing that appears to be the same model advertises 560 reads and 422 writes. So I have no idea what exactly is, nor can it be. I opened up the drive to look inside and it is indeed a DRAM-free drive with a Silicon Motion SM2258XT controller, although that's exactly what I expected when I paid $15 for this drive. I give 5 stars for very limited use cases, but the confusing read/write specs lower my rating by one star. Still good if you don't care too much about speed.
