65" QM851  TCL Q LCD last year's model for $768.

Pretty decent.  This model is light cannon. Crazy bright, no OLED can match the light output.

I guess maybe the headphones, but, they're not off by much.

Honestly, it's not that hard to make an ssd enclosure, but they all kinda suck.

Wonder why that is.

Look at Micro Center, the best of all computer stores. They are likely very close to the best prices you find anywhere else, delivery is very quick, and they are great about fixing any kind of problem.

"Starting in 2011, the deficits again started to shrink. During Obama’s term  the deficit was reduced by $900 Billion  before finally in 2015 the GOP managed to wrangle a “reconciliation” bill out of Obama where he again cut corporate taxes, as well as made permanent some of George W. Bush’s original tax cuts. This is the year everything reversed. Before this, under Clinton, Bush and Obama the deficit in almost every year was gradually decreasing. The balance we had of taxes and the economy was bringing the deficit down, the money coming in was slowly catching up with the money going out until 2015. Trump’s subsequent tax cut has continued the new trend even after the rest of Bush’s cuts have since expired. Obama had an average GDP of 2.3%, with 11.6 million jobs created and unemployment peaking at 10% in 2009, then falling to 4.3% in 2016. If we had continued on that downward deficit track, we would have again reached balance and another surplus in 2017-2018.

don't worry, I really haven't seen any spectacular deals. I found my SSD replacement for $100 2tb (samsung 990 evo) earlier this year on a random deal on the samsung site. I glanced at some prime day ssds and don't think I saw anything come close to that. you're not missing out on much at all so don't rush it.

Looking at the 2230 ssd enclosures, they all look really crummy, even the ones with the little fan, it's just NOT how Tp4 would design it, there's no pipe and barely any extra surface area (fins) for dissipation.

Why are 40gbps ssd enclosures still so expensive?

yo yo yo, 4TB 990 pro w/heatsink used amazon resale, $182.76 after discount in cart,

$261 - $78.33promo

It's got Dram,  it's got heatsnk, a crappy one, what more could you ask for at this price.


As long as the SSD Smart readout isn't Spoofed or totally trashed,  Hard to beat this price.


Tp4 recommends this heatsink: thermalright hr10 (nonpro), on sale for $10

The pro one you can also get if you want that little 10000rpm fan. also $10, tp4 not recommend unless your gpu is vertical, otherwise it just pulls hot air next to gpu

OKOKOK...

Soooooo. Checked some firmware related posts,  SKIP the 990 pro.. IFFF, you're iffy on the firmware.

It's PRolllly Okkkk. Since it's not like there's been a mass outcry since the original issue in 2023.

The WD SN850x 4TB also on amazon resale, for $205 after discount.   You can buy that instead, best price was $240 new. so $35 is a big enough discount on a 4TB.
