So I found this NVMe SSD on Amazon and it's about half the price of an equivalent size Samsung drive. Is there something wrong with it???

Agree with the recommendation for the Adata SX 8200, this is a very good NVME drive for the price.

Please quote my post, or put @paddy-stone if you want me to respond to you.

for moving large files(like 4k/8k video etc) the samsung 970 evo/pro is usually quite useful because they have much higher read/write speeds than other nvme drives, but for gaming and other use then sata ssd is often enough

Idk, I've never heard of Sabrent before

 

the wikipedia page for it has like 5 sentences

 

I personally think it could be better to buy from a more well known seller like Samsung or WD

i have both of those drives they are both good ones just way more money lol...Sabrent has been around for 20 years or more..

Based on Toshiba’s BiCS 3D TLC NAND Flash memory, its performance speeds can reach up to 3450 MB/s (read) and 3000 MB/s (write). Power consumption is much lower than traditional hard drives, making it the best embedded solution for new systems.

Features:

• M.2 PCIe Gen3 x 4 Interface.
• PCIe 3.1 Compliant / NVMe 1.3 Compliant.
• Power Management Support for APST / ASPM / L1.2.
• Supports SMART and TRIM commands. Supports ONFi 2.3, ONFi 3.0, ONFi 3.2 and ONFi 4.0 interface.
• Advanced Wear Leveling, Bad Block Management, and Over-Provision.
