    TLC bones alone are not the biggest problem, but it's not efficient. I would not buy. As you will find the older G25 series it is on MLC and the performance is slightly better.

    The price is not particularly attractive. For a little more you can buy the Samsung 960EVO, which, although it is also on TLC bones, it is definitely more efficient, for example:

    Even cheaper, if you are looking for TLC, you can buy MX500 / 500GB - also on TLC, but much better than this Sandisk: https://www.karen.pl/product/448298/Crucial_MX500_500GB.html

    Added after 2 [minutes]:

    In addition, both Samsung and Crucial have a 5 year warranty, Sandisk 2 years. I skip the 20GB difference in the amount of space :)

    There was a typo in my description. This disk I'm asking for has SLC bones. I just don't know how much SLC dice are better than MLC.

    The disk has no SLC dice, only the seller doesn't know what he is selling. The disk in the G26 revision has TLC bones of a weaker sort, near the SLC it did not even lay. The disk in the G25 revision had MLC bones. No revision of this disk had SLC bones.

    At this Forum I have not seen the disk tests of this company (which does not mean that it was not there - and I'd love to see it, because I can't find tests of this Chinese).

    The 120GB model did not throw on its knees when it comes to performance, so it would be nice to find some tests. MLC alone does not make the disk good, it seems that these disks are made on the Sandforce SF2281 controller (although it is worth confirming here, because it is difficult to find precise information) and I would prefer something from the medium / higher shelf even on TLC than such a disk (i.e. Samsung EVO 960/970, Crucial MX300 / MX500, Adata SU800 etc.).

    Damn it seemed to me that test 120 was but I can not see: /

Topic summary

The discussion centers around the SanDisk Plus 480GB SSD (SDSSDA-480G-G26) and its worthiness as a purchase. Initial responses indicate skepticism about the SSD's performance, primarily due to its use of TLC NAND flash, which is considered less efficient compared to MLC. Users suggest alternatives like the Samsung 860 EVO and Crucial MX500, both of which offer better performance and longer warranties. Clarifications reveal that the SanDisk model does not contain SLC NAND as initially thought, but rather TLC, which diminishes its appeal. The conversation also touches on other budget options, such as the BIWIN 480GB SSD, although there is a lack of performance tests available for some models.
