2tb msata ssd for t430s and older thinkpads
2tb msata ssd for t430s and older thinkpads
Thought I'd post this for anyone who might be interested, just picked a 2tb hynix msata ssd, the model is sk-600, till now the only way I knew to get a 2tb msata was to shuck it from a samsung t3 portable ssd, so far still testing it but it's using 2x1tb nands so speed is so-so, I'm attaching a couple of photos

Where did you get it? Have you actually tested to store 2TB on it?
I ask because, normally, the whole model number shown in the sticker also appears in the title of the application and here it doesn't. That's a red flag.

Picked it up in a shop in Shenzhen,China, It is actually 2TB, tested a couple of times with h2testw, but as RealBlackStuff said, fake, I didn't pay too much attention neither when I bought it nor when I posted about it, and probably I should have had, the main issue of the SSD is that it overheats after 20 min of sustained writes and speed drops to about 140mb/s , I ended up returning it for a refund.
Sorry for wasting people's time

It isn't a waste if we learned something from it. To be honest, the first time I saw the picture, I immediately thought that it was a fake. The embarrassing performance cemented that.Dro wrote: ↑Wed Dec 15, 2021 6:58 pmPicked it up in a shop in Shenzhen,China, It is actually 2TB, tested a couple of times with h2testw, but as RealBlackStuff said, fake, I didn't pay too much attention neither when I bought it nor when I posted about it, and probably I should have had, the main issue of the SSD is that it overheats after 20 min of sustained writes and speed drops to about 140mb/s , I ended up returning it for a refund.
