what happened to sata m.2 drives

[arknor]

For the same reason they still buy spinning disk drives

spinning disk drives are still valid because the data is written to a disk.


SSD without power after a couple of years the data is gone

A lot of people will learn that the hard way/

Still useful to have platter drive on a desktop for mass storage.


"Modern SSDs with anything but SLC cells will start to lose data in under a year if left unpowered."

Wow that sucks.

I looking for a cheap storage dump drive without running sata cables and messing up the aesthetics of my build.
i seam to remember sata m.2's was cheap a hell now i cant find any really.


wanting 2-4tb, what the best cheap option

edit lol just fond loads.. and they cost more than nvme..

Nvme to sata adaptor should do the trick.
