Thats fancy brand name ones! Chinese noname (unless you consider "blue" a brand :P) can be had for 1TB <$30 and 2TB <$40 with free shipping. No doubt using Chinese manufactured NAND flash, I have to wonder about write endurance and reliability.

- wtallis 4y ago> No doubt using Chinese manufactured NAND flash, I have to wonder about write endurance and reliability. I wouldn't count on it; there's only one Chinese NAND manufacturer (YMTC) and they are still a relatively new and low-volume market participant. Most cheap drives use NAND made by one of the other major manufacturers, but it's the leftovers that had initial defect rates too high for the better brands/models to use.
