aeroLai 1,337 Report post Posted November 27, 2018 That is one tiny board haha. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chconline 1,337 Report post Posted November 29, 2018 Yep a plastic case. Really compact board, DRAM-less though. They shipped out a replacement but there's a customs bill on it Will need to get it sorted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+TL6MT 2,562 Report post Posted December 1, 2018 Great shots but too bad it's dead. I wonder how it will performance in the PCMark 8 test? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chconline 1,337 Report post Posted December 3, 2018 Thanks Well, traditionally DRAM-less SSDs don't perform well, but this is a budget SSD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+TL6MT 2,562 Report post Posted December 9, 2018 Did they send you 2 and 1 went back? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chconline 1,337 Report post Posted December 11, 2018 They originally sent one, which was declined when it got to me. I emailed them and before they could sort it out, it was already on the way back to Idaho, so they just sent another one haha. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+Big Bang 1,547 Report post Posted December 15, 2018 Can't say I like the Performance lol. Wonder why Crucial made the Price so close to the MX500. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+TL6MT 2,562 Report post Posted December 17, 2018 I can't agree more with the conclusion - for $3 the MX500 is a no brainer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chconline 1,337 Report post Posted December 17, 2018 No idea haha. The MX500's price has really come down. If they sell for $55 I think there will be a much more compelling case. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
performance_1 46 Report post Posted December 19, 2018 same ics too and just missing the dram chip? performance is killed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chconline 1,337 Report post Posted December 20, 2018 It's the same ICs as the MX500 M2 version. But yeah, looks like a missing DRAM chip made all the difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
