Does any body know if these come with power loss protection capacitors? It is very hard to find more information on
Amazon.
I have seem MX300 for similar pricing as well.

^ Very doubtful at this price point. Adequate power loss caps usually only come on premium priced SSDs.

Yeah, here is a review with pics of the PCB, clearly it doesn't have power loss caps:

While MX300 does have little ceramic power loss caps, they're a marginal amount of capacitance to do the job, maybe better than nothing but not what I'd depend on if you expect power loss. Regardless it could still be a more attractive product for that reason, considering the similar price if you catch it on sale.

This is available again (or still) at $87, but you must click the right column listing under "Other Sellers on
Amazon
", and it seems to be backordered, "usually ships in 1 to 3 weeks".
