Literally never heard of them. With all the random bullahit companies dumping crap into the market, if you don’t have good name recognition these days, it’s just assumed you are some random Chinese product clone with dubious quality.
This is fine when I purchased my knockoff Dyson vacuum that still works great, but I wouldn’t trust all my data to a company I dont recognize.
Solidigm bought Intels ssd division a while ago
Hell to be fair I don’t trust most of the brands I do recognize either lol.
I didn’t even realize Intel’s SSD business still survived as a separate company. Apparently they’re owned by SK Hynix.
Buying 1 tb drives has been my prefered way to to do backup sync and distro hopping for a while now, with a $20 cradle, and a waller of these things, you never have to leave anything behind.
I do the same but with 2.5 inch sata ssd’s, and a hot swap bay in the front of my case. Swapping the OS is like using an old cassette player, now with 2TB of storage haha.
I kind of wish u.2 drives could take off in the same way, so I could do the same thing but with direct nvme storage.
I still have an old intel 600p. They took over firmware support for it. I wonder if it’s done now.
Plus I’d imagine they have no brand awareness in the consumer space vs. the giants like WD, Seagate, Kingston, Crucial, Samsung, etc.

Ah man, that’s a shame. The P41 was one I remembered for being a surprisingly good value despite being a drive with good performance. I never had the chance of buying one, since I don’t have a free slot, and it wasn’t worth replacing my existing drive.
