If cell phone glut and tariff wars heat up, there may be a chance that $/GB on SSD may drop due to oversupply.

May be, who knows. I have been waiting for major storage price drop for years and never truly materialize.

This is garbagio. This is M.2 SATA with slow Samsung 300 MB/s write read, and small 22GB write size at that speed. It’s even slower beyond that.

“The sequential write performances are Intelligent TurboWrite region are 300 MB/s for 250/500 GB and 500 MB/s for 1 TB.

The TurboWrite buffer size varies based on the capacity of the SSD; 12 GB model, 22 GB for 500 GB model...”

Pay a little more for the ADATA SX8200 480gb NVMe SSD (< $150). No point settling for garbage SATAs that struggle with file transfers.
I aim to be inclusive and considerate of others in my posts. If I fall short of that mark, feel free to let me know in good faith, and where appropriate, I'll edit my posts. Thank you.

in a regular usage, you probably won't see much difference on SATA3 vs PCI-e/NVMe;

In a close price, obviously makes sense to get the faster one, but on your case, Any recent model of those mainstream brands should do the trick, Samsung's, WD, Crucial...

Personally I care more about reliability than speed and Samsung seems to have the highest Total Bytes Written ratings of any of the SSDs out there.

Beware of buying from Newegg - they had a data breach for the last month. LINK
