Question 1

What's the difference between SATA and NVMe SSDs?

Accepted Answer

SATA SSDs connect via SATA ports with speeds up to 550MB/s. NVMe SSDs use PCIe connections and deliver 3-7 times faster performance (up to 7000MB/s). NVMe drives cost more but offer significantly better speeds for demanding applications.

Question 2

Are SSDs worth the extra cost over traditional hard drives?

Accepted Answer

Yes – SSDs deliver 5-10x faster performance, use less power, run silently, and have no moving parts for better durability. For most users, the speed improvement alone justifies the investment, especially for operating systems and frequently used applications.

Question 3

Do you offer business pricing on bulk SSD orders?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! NZ businesses can apply for a trade account to access volume pricing on SSDs and storage products. Enjoy 30-day credit terms, priority dispatch from our Auckland warehouse, and dedicated account management for regular orders.

Question 4

What SSD brands do you stock?

Accepted Answer

We stock genuine, brand-new SSDs from SanDisk, Synology, G-Technology, OWC, QNAP and other leading manufacturers. All products come with full manufacturer warranty and are sourced through authorized distribution channels.

Question 5

How long do SSDs typically last?

Accepted Answer

Modern SSDs typically last 5-10 years under normal use. Enterprise and professional-grade drives have higher endurance ratings (measured in TBW - terabytes written) and often come with longer warranty periods of 3-5 years.

Question 6

Can I return an SSD if it doesn't fit my system?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we offer 30-day easy returns on all SSDs. Products must be returned in original packaging with all accessories. For opened software or storage products, they must be in resalable condition without data written to them.
