      Hi Dave last year, on here, you gave me a link to a 240GB SSD.

      All is fine, it has no name, I am putting it on ebay, not sure if you called it a generic.

      It does have a number on a sticker, I can’t find anything.

      HAR-XXX-U-256-2.5-SSD

      Cheers
      John

        John – that might be a KingSpec ?

        Never trust an atom - they make up everything !

          If it’s an Amazon bargain (probably was) I’ll bet it’s a KingDian. That would tally with Boris’s find.

          The other not-a-big-name that I’ve bought are Drevo X1 but IIRC they are obvious.

            Thanks for the suggestions.

            In the light of day (just) I have slowly removed the sticker, to find another sticker and it’s a

            Micron M550 2.5 256GB SATA 6Gb/s SSD MTFDDAK256MAY

            Could there be a secret as the Micron sticker was covered up.

            Cheers

              Could well be John. These smaller companies (and some large ones like HP and Lenovo) don’t manufacture their own hardware.

              When I discovered what some Lenovo SSDs actually were I stopped worrying about buying lesser known brands.

                Thanks Dave

                Perhaps I should have left the other sticker on it and sold it as the HAR-XXX-U-256-2.5-SSD

                not as a Micron M550 2.5 256GB SATA 6Gb/s SSD MTFDDAK256MAY
