Chasing the data center instead of consumers.

    Literally never heard of them. With all the random bullshit companies dumping crap into the market, if you don’t have good name recognition these days, it’s just assumed you are some random Chinese product clone with dubious quality.

    This is fine when I purchased my knockoff Dyson vacuum that still works great, but I wouldn’t trust all my data to a company I dont recognize.

    I didn’t even realize Intel’s SSD business still survived as a separate company. Apparently they’re owned by SK Hynix.

      Buying their 1 tb drives has been my prefered way to to do backup sync and distro hopping for a while now, with a $20 cradle, and a wallet of these things, you never have to leave anything behind.

        I do the same but with 2.5 inch sata ssd’s, and a hot swap bay in the front of my case. Swapping the OS is like using an old cassette player, now with 2TB of storage haha.

        I kind of wish u.2 drives could take off in the same way, so I could do the same thing but with direct nvme storage.

    Plus I’d imagine they have no brand awareness in the consumer space vs. the giants like WD, Seagate, Kingston, Crucial, Samsung, etc.
