    I have. So far in all the cheapo drives, I’ve all gotten drives that easily max out SATA so I haven’t been burned yet. And they’re all in machines that if the controller goes belly up and the drive dies, I really don’t care, so longevity is not much of a concern either.

    Even the really shit drives still have random access times that beat the pants off spinning rust. So it’s a net positive either way.
