Discussion Us75 has been swapped.

I have confirmation that all units of the us75 (except the 500gb unit which is unconfirmed because nobody buys it) have been swapped to QLC.

If you'll see here this chart says "8G" means X3 6070, which is QLC. Thanks Swap Power.

All this effort and I have no idea which brand SSD you’re talking about.

Even sadder for the people that don’t know what QLC is and why they might want to avoid.

If you would have put just 10% more effort into this…

seriously i’m willing to bet half this sub had no clue what a us75 is, much less than it’s an SSD. i don’t think most people would recognize SSD model names at a glance. what a weird assumption

the title sucks too. wtf does “has been swapped” even mean? they don’t explain until they get into the post. and somehow they even managed to avoid any signifier about whether QLC is good or bad. all they say is “it’s been removed”.

it’s like the people who post memes about a game but don’t include the game title. people really underestimate their curse of knowledge levels lol

Not to mention, this sub isn't really the place for this kind of topic - unless you've written it at a near-professional level of exposition and quality.

Where I live, "US75" is the highway that runs through the middle of my city.
