I bought two to take full advantage of Frys free ($49 order minimum) shipping. So my total cost looked like this:
Subtotal (2 drives): $89.58
Tax (to my state): $6.27
Ultra Saver Shipping $7.99
Shipping Savings: -$7.99
Total: $95.85
so buying two drives, my total cost per drive (shipped) became: $47.93
or find any ~$5 item to add to you order. Otherwise, without free shipping, your cost will look like this:
item $44.79
shipping $7.99
tax (to my state) $3.70
Total: $56.48 (BTW, this price is still WAY cheaper than all other best-price stores selling this drive shipped for $100)
This drive is made with MLC nand, which has a reputation for good reliability.

and from this CNET review: https://www.cnet.com/products/tos…sd/review/
"The drive includes a five-year warranty (as opposed to the three-year one offered on the [Samsung] 750 Evo) and also offers advance replacement. In case of defect, Toshiba will ship you a new — not refurbished — replacement drive right away and then pay for you to ship the old drive back. What’s more, the VX500 also has high endurance rating, meaning you can use it for quite a long time before it becomes unreliable."
