The Netac N530S is a 1TB 2.5-inch SATA III solid state drive, eighth in this guide at £91.98. That is £8.01 below the £99.99 fanxiang S101 and £198.79 below the £290.77 Samsung 870 EVO at the top of the list.

The price is not the interesting part of this listing. Netac claims sequential read and write speeds up to 535/510 MB/s; the Samsung claims 560 MB/s for £198.79 more, so that £198.79 buys 25 MB/s on the advertised figures. The spec table also argues with itself: read speed is listed as 535 Megabytes per second, the data transfer rate field reads 535 Megabits per second, media speed is 510 Megabits per second against a bullet claiming 510 MB/s write, and cache memory is given as "1" with no unit at all. The rating has a similar gap — 4.5 out of 5 from 1,008 ratings, but the star breakdown shown next to it adds up to 100 (79 five-star, 12 four-star, 2 three-star, 1 two-star, 6 one-star). Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing, not from any test we ran.
