Not illegal, more like "not legally binding".
@@fridaycaliforniaa236 in USA that sticker doesn't mean anything, because the fact of you opening your stuff can't legally void your warranty.
Basically, it's not up to company to decide what voids the warranty and what doesn't.

The real question:
8TB SSD

Which is better value?
True. I am good with a 1-2TB NVME as I almost don't play multiple games the same time.
Even normal SATA SSDs are great for gaming. In fact, you barely notice any difference after game load times even compared to an HDD.
NVME is literally for working with heavy files.

@@Aporro1 Speed isn't the only thing that matters. Sure, if you are a heavy gamer, you would probably want to invest in a decently sized SSD. If you are just using the machine for office use and are saving files and such, an SSD would be a waste. The HDD that I have on my machine has all my work on it. I don't really notice any differences in load times between my M.2 and the HDD for those (because it's not like the files are gigabytes in size). If you are in that situation, why spend 2-3 times as much on an SSD when you could get an HDD that probably has 2-3 times more storage space?
I agree, SSDs are the better option in most cases and it's good to have at least a low-capacity SSD to boot Windows from, but HDDs are certainly the best for mass storage and a standard office setting.

Now we're used to getting shafted here, but usually that stops at USD price becoming the euro price directly.

You can at least get an RTX 2060 for about 1400-1500€, but you need to step down to the TUF line, and settle with a Ryzen 7 4800H CPU. Nothing to sneeze at, but compared to the review pricing of the G14 it is a letdown.

the thing I love about m.2 drives is that you have not only an even smaller drive than conventional SSDs but also you save a ton of space for the usual cables required
I can see 2 to 4 TB m.2 SSDs being affordable in a few years and mainboards being equipped with 4 slots could be more or less standard
this is especially helpful for ITX builds but honestly I really like it in my current ATX build too, I only have my OS drive on m.2 coupled with 2 conventional drives and I can potentially add another m.2 later on without fiddeling around with another set of cables
Are hard drives dead?” Sees price of high capacity SSDs “No, no they are not”

An 8TB NVMe, unless for content creation or other business level use case, is overkill.
@@SethMacMillan I agree 8 is overkill for most, but I need at least 3-4 tb and even that costs too much in nvme form. Doing 1tb nvme and a 3tb wd hdd is currently the most effective way for me to get the storage I need, performance I need, and keep the cost not outrageous. For folks who need 3-4 tb and don't need every bit of it to be high-performance, it's really hard to justify anything but a hard drive imo.

Yeah I don't know what im looking at
The Blue/Purple is the PCIeX2 SSD as you can see it's bottlenecked . The Red/Green is the PCIeX4 Sabrent Rocket. It performs pretty much twice the speed.
The theoretical maximum speed a PCIeX2 could run at is [speed of PCIe3.0 1000MB/s x2 =] 2,000 MB/S .. but that doesn't account for overhead.
What this means is. Don't bother buying the Sabrent if your laptop only dedicates 2 PCIe lanes for the M.2

Who else was really excited about this until they saw the price
Fortunately, the 1 and 2TB version are much more reasonably priced. And for most people, 2TB is all you'd need.
Excited until I learned it was QLC.
Being that common 1TB SSD drives are approx $100, and 2TB drives are $200, and larger drives always carry a premium to common smaller drives, I was not expecting anything under $1000. Well out of my price zone
I'm buying 3TB Seagate Enterprise surplus SAS drive lately for $24.. 7.2spin, 6gb/s read and write ( SAS can do both at once unlike Sata3 ) .

They really went and spent 2000+ dollars on an SSD and linked it for us in the description like we're gonna buy :*(
It sounds like it is better used in some server or data center to store read-only data. Lots of high demand read-only data.
there are a lot of people who actually buys these stuff. if not why sabrent will send them 2 SSDs to make videos about
These are affiliate links they can generate a fuckload of cash as well, anyways I don't fancy ordering from Amazon so this is a no-go for me, even if I had the money for it.
I just spent $250 on the Sabrent 2TB NVMe, thats my max price for an SSD. I can't even consider the 8TB until the 4TB drops down below $500 (currently $850).
It won't be available in your country before the pandemic..
SSDs still cost more than high capacity HDDs, so the latter are still an option.

@@Birdman3131 Your link does not say what you think it does. A company may put a warranty seal on a product. They just can't refuse to service your product if it is broken. it's right there in the document you linked, "This warranty does not apply if this product . . . has had the warranty seal on the [product] altered, defaced, or removed." The sticker is legal. refusing to service the product because it is broken is not. Such stickers actually serve an important role in the chain. they are typically not looked at by a manufacturer for a repair, but rather by a seller for a return. Ex, if you break something, you can use the manufacturer's warranty process but not the store's DOA return process.

250gb m.2 sata ssd has the same price as 1tb hdd
Actually u can get really Chinese SATA SSD of 2Tb each at around $150, build a raid using 4 of them give a equivalent 8Tb at a similar speed, but never think they are equivalent, the flash they are using are really bad ones, they themselves uses 3Tb amount of flash to build a 2Tb SSD because they know the bad sectors are as much as one third of the total.
@@m.y.3625 at the same time a 2TB hdd cost less than half that

God knows how much HDD space, you'd get for the same price........
But, It'd probably easily be enough, to last me for the next 15 years.
Probably around 80-100TB, if you buy bulk.... give or take .
Well going by shelf prices it'd be around $150 per 8TB drive and you could get roughly 13 drives at the same cost so at least 100TB, bulk pricing although you might have to buy more I bet you could that down to $135-$140 per drive.
What an odd placement of commas

I only use M.2 for OS and crappy software. Everything else is on a cheap ass hard drive. I have an SSD too but there's nothing on it.
You also have to consider that (if the cache’s write performance is 4x that of the main storage, for example) the cache has already written and freed 128GB to the main storage by the time you’ve written 512GB to the cache. By the time that 128GB has been written to the cache, another 32 GB has been freed, and so on. So, in the worst case scenario where your cache is the bottleneck, you need to write ~683GB before seeing the throttling you mention.
