I find it annoying that SATA SSD drives are usually almost as expensive as their NVMe counterparts.

I find it annoying that people buy 1800-2000mb/s "nvme" drives .. why do they even exist anymore

Same. Only SSD brand I ever returned to a supplier and paid extra to get another brand.
Used it abit on my phone ( travelling up and down) had to switch off and on flight mode to get signal in different areas. But now i have no signal at all. i assume vodacom blocked the sim until I contact them to unblock it and assign an area to use it?

Im surprised it worked in another device. I was told you can move around as long as you keep it in the Huawei router. Im sure they are supposed to link the sim to the IMEI of the router.
Its connected now to my current router (fibre + lte) but its still not active. Will connect it to the router that came with it and test.

I'm sure its going to work in the supplied router

Some Fixed LTE sims give you 3 changes, then they lock in. So you might have to give it a few more swaps and a day to see if that's the case.

That's concerning. My current and previous SSD's are Mushkin. So far so good.
Would this be able to ignite a gas geyser during loadshedding?

Can I ask why?
I've been buying them exclusively and I'm really pleased with them for the price.

I had one SSD die and numerous RAM modules die after about 2 year. They just don't last. Maybe they have improved.
Mine is 220v. What voltage is your geyser?
Im looking to purchase a Rinnai gas geyser and need a small inverter or back up battery to ignite the unit.
I currently have a Rinnai - excellent geyser, not a days problem in 14 years so far.
If I have to shower during loadshedding then I drag one of my small PC UPSes outside (with a 3 pin plug hole at the back) and it does the job.
I am searching for a supplier.of Rinnai in WC because they are non responsive via their website with no contact number seem to exist and I would.like something more permanent hence the question on that cheaper battery inverter unit.

Cant argue that, everyone has their different experiences and preferences!
I've been running about 8 mushkin NVME drives, and have been buying them since wootware started offering them, they've been working perfectly.
But dont come near me with those seagates.

I had a mushkin 1tb sata SSD from wootware fail after one month. Wootware sent a replacement. That also died after a monthCant argue that, everyone has their different experiences and preferences!

Very similar to my story. Can't fault Wootware at all - but I paid in to get another brand drive after that. No issues since.
