however, continues unabated, with Teamgroup cementing its status as the cheapest 0.96TB/1TB SSD ever
Until December 9, Newegg is selling the GX1 for $76.99, down from a suggested price of $98.99 and its former lowest of $79.99.It is not a

These three have a more expensive per TB cost at $81.99, surpassing the GX1 by $1.70.Like most drives within this price bracket, this is a
SATA3 DRAM-less 2.5-inch internal drive that uses 3D NAND Flash memory with SLC caching and wear-leveling technology and ECC
function.Teamgroup quotes speeds of 530MBps and 480MBps on read and write respectively, which makes it a below average SSD but still far,
