for what it’s worth, these have worked good.

Sabrent 2TB Rocket NVMe PCIe M.2 2280 Internal SSD High Performance Solid State Drive (SB-ROCKET-2TB) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MTQTNVR/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_KTFJ1VRHBEH3J03S5Y9E

it’s TLC and has a nice 3100TBW.

I have the one you are talking about as my main boot / gaming drive but yeah I don’t plot with that one.

I did, but did a bad job of it... Sabrent Rocket #'s looked a bit higher... So now I'm looking at a Rocket Q(white and blue label) or Sabrent Rocket (Standard). Can't seem to figure out the difference, so probably will just go standard Rocket (black and blue label) as you and a few others have mentioned that model.

Do you know if this Sabrent is also one sided? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MTQTNVR/ref=psdc_1292116011_t1_B0829DZH2W?th=1 ?

Seems the difference is QLC vs TLC for a $30 premium.

The Samsung 970 EVO is not a great value. I have a Sabrent Rocket that I like. The 2 TB version is under $300.

Newegg has some 2070 Supers for under $600 that'll outperform the RTX 2060 Super, but it looks like most of the RGB ones like the AORUS are significantly more, so it's up to you.

i got the 2TB Sabrent Rocket (Pcie 3.0 version) at time of shopping was the best price for a 2TB SSD with DRAM.
