    Not a competitive price imo

    Compared to what?

    For the consumer market who just needs regular 0 to 70 C temperature range and no major shock resistance, yeah, the pricing is very poor. For the industrial market which can justify the premium for those niche features, the pricing is fairly good.

    Just that they're 3D MLC justifies the prices, let alone the temperature and physical durability.

    I just do not get how makers (Crucial, samsung etc) seem to charge that much more per Gb on NVME/m.2 etc than they generally do with the standard sata designed SSD...they do not have the case etc extra thermal pads needed and so forth, in other words bill of materials is less on these newer style than the older style, yet the older style is less pricey (not taking into account the speed of the flash modules which probably makes more or less 0 difference on cost to them, sure does to end user)

    As for these specific ones, the temperature levels are nothing fancy, my crucial drives have exactly the same resistance, however, the durability (TBW) is quite amazing as is the crazy speeds (even when most desktop users do not currently have programs that can truly tap into the advantage of something reading GB speeds..yes there are some programs that can, but, the difference going from a more mainstream harddrive to solid state alone seems to show 99% of the advantage, but, from a decent solid state to one of these style seems pricey for nothing gained IMO)

    not to mention most motherboards these things tend to be in the worst possible location to be away from the heat the system generates which hurts their potential performance via throttling..heatshield are useless so far as I have seen, if anything, they make it more likely to happen.

    As for price, the 525gb model, just as a price comparison, for a Crucial MX300-500 525gb (yes much slower by spec) here in Canada ~$200 shipped, so one of these would be ~$340 (tax and ship) not so very price competitive even comparing equally high end models from Samsung and the like...they all seem to be targeting similar price points not trying to compete for the sale..i.e all working together to fleece customer pricing ^.^
