I can't stop being happy with the purchase, a very good deal!

Unfortunately, my motherboard does not have an m2 connector, so I had to choose an SSD with a SATA connection. I went to 4pda with this question, where there is a special topic listing all acceptable SSDs. At first I was worried about the TBW limit, but other users reassured me. They say that the restriction is very difficult to achieve, and it is indicated conditionally, i. E. The SSD will not stop working when this number of overwrites is reached. Well, let's wait and see.

Pros

I think this SSD has the best value for money. In addition, it is recommended for 4pd.

Cons

The total number of bytes written (TBW) is only 360 TB, which is about 2 times less than some competitors (Samsung 860/870 evo, ADATA 750/800). But the 860 evo was not on the market, and the 870 became famous for a huge batch of marriage, and I did not want to bother with returns. As for the adata, they say the 750 has problems with overheating, and the 800 stands like a wing from an airplane. In general, I decided to take a chance and take Crucial.
