Dahua SSD drives

Hi Guys

Has anyone used Dahua SSD drives?
I see Esquire has the 512 GB for R399.

Thanks
Kitty

if you dont value your data, then sure its a good deal.

Also it doesnt have a DRAM cache so copy large amounts of data to it will cause it to slow down during the copy.

It's designed for storing streaming video. Not ideal for PC use.

Many, as OS drives. No issues yet.

Used a few seem to last longer than some Samsung's out there.

Weren’t they listed as possibly having Chinese spyware/back doors under the Hikvision warning that was released?

Had mixed results with these,1 failure out of 6 - within warranty
Keep a backup

I rarely trust SSDs, non-branded even less so, branded, even more less. Building up some HDDs in raid on a Synology NAS to keep a local copy of the non-clouded stuff. Not perfect, but alas.

Apacer is a old company, maybe Taiwanese? I purchased a USB stick of theirs from Computer Mania back in 2008 and it was still ok the last time I used it.
