The race for the cheapest SSD is well and truly on, and a newcomer has snatched the crown; Chinese manufacturer Goldenfir currently has the most affordable 1TB SSD we've seen in a long, long time.
The drive is available at AliExpress for just $78.69 (£64.69/AU$114.48), down from a suggested retail price of $104.99, which makes for a saving of 25%. That's a mere $0.79 per GB and far cheaper than at Amazon or Newegg.
Like most drives within this price bracket, this SSD is likely to be a SATA3 DRAM-less 2.5-inch model that uses 3D NAND Flash memory with SLC caching, wear-leveling technology and ECC function (although there's a tiny chance that it is a QLC variety).

The drive has a rated speed of 550MBps and 500MBps on read/write respectively (as measured on CrystalDiskMark), and supports both TRIM and SMART to monitor the status of your drive and maintain maximum performance.
It also comes with a healthy three-year warranty, but it's unclear whether any additional accessories are included with the drive.
