- Comment
Fast and reliable storage, ideal for boot drives or gaming. PCIe 4.0 support ensures excellent performance at a reasonable price.
- Comment
Budget Gen 4 NVMe with QLC/HMB design. Good real‑world speeds early on; endurance modest (~160 TBW). Mixed reliability reports—some drives fail after ∼50 % capacity.
