Very good value for decent performance

This is by no means the most reliable or fastest SATA SSD; The 400 series has much better performance (especially random writes and sequential writes after caching) and higher TBW. However, this is the most economical choice you can get - $81 for a 500GB m.2 SATA 2242 SSD with up to 300MB/s sequential writes and 4K around 30,000. I planned to install my system on this drive. but after a test I will install it on my 860 evo and use it as a high speed drive instead. Think of it as a little gift to yourself—one that wouldn't cost you a finger but would still provide a significant performance boost if you only had a four-year-old hard drive.

Pros
