Amazon Deals and Discounts - 2025

Have you used Orico and talking based on experience?
Was planning on buying a better orico model in the past & did a lot of online search for reviews & comments, what I found was that best case scenario orico drives are above avg but worst case scenario they die within 1-2 years. I have seen WD SN580 1TB sell for as low as ~4500 & that is a very good NVMe ssd so dropped the idea of getting orico drive for 1500 less until their reputation online increases substantially or their ssd are reviewed thoroughly by reputed tech sites. Also, it is QLC with no dram.

Best to always check the specs for self, but yes it is not a good long term option.

Not a particularly well written review from the SSD perspective considering it doesn't even mention the really poor endurance rating. However, there isn't much to see in general. It is probably using Intel QLC NAND from 2020-21 era considering Intel has sold off that business. It is using a really cheap Realtek controller. It has no DRAM. A cobbled together product of cheap components. Would never consider using it as a primary drive.

Apart from the general Amazon reviewers posting 5-star ones within a couple of days after a nudge, later reviews like the one below don't inspire much confidence.

What poor endurance? P3 plus (also DRAMless) has 220TBW and this has 300TBW.

P3 Plus is also a QLC drive and this one uses much cheaper QLC NAND, so don't expect the rated 300 TBW. But that point is moot anyway since you will not get any warranty support.
 
since you will not get any warranty support.
Actually, the support is kind of available but it is not straight forward. You need to contact the importer as listed on amazon India product page which is "Tiger Pug Commerce Pvt.Ltd" & they should handle any warranty replacement but whatever info I found online, contacting them for warranty replacement won't be an easy task even if they are genuine.

P3 Plus has 3 years warranty while this drive has 5 years warranty but that doesn't mean this drive is better/more reliable than P3/Plus. Keep in mind that consistent & evm ssd also come with 5 years warranty but I would rather take crucial BX500 with 3 years warranty than those.

I have crucial 240gb sata ssd failure, but it was 6 years old and ran for many many hours as boot drive on my old pc
