Best NVME Drive for under 70

[TPhill110]

I’d prefer it be gen 4. I’m not expecting you to do crazy research except mention some drive you may know of.

I was thinking cruicial p3 plus or Kingston nv2. I heard the nv2 is faster but the read/write speeds are slower. I’m most certainly missing something maybe it’s because Kingston is gen 4 but I couldn’t even find that info.

other suggestions would be great. Thanks for taking the time out your day :). Appreciate you

They're both QLC (or likely to be) and with low endurance ratings (in 1TB capacity: NV2 is 300, P3 Plus is 220, SN570/SN580 is 600), with the NV2 liable to hardware switches, so I wouldn't be keen on either for an OS/boot drive.

I'd get the MP44L. Quite a good drive for the money

MP44l have 2 hardware versions 

phison E21T + 176l TLC micron resonable TLC dramless

MAP1602A + 128l TLC YMTC low end TLC DRAMless. 

adata 850 is was ok, but they swapped the nand from good 176l TLC micron, to 128l TLC YMTC 

it’s SM2269XT + 128l TLC YMTC 

nv2 have 3 hardware versions known 

the most probable one you will get is SM2267XT + 144l QLC intel ( low end QLC DRAMless )

 

P3 plus is phison E21T + 176l QLC micron

( low end QLC DRAMless )

 

Adata 800 have variable hardware. Possible SM2267XT + 144l QLC intel, but hard to tell

 

actually the best one from the one mention here is the SN580.

Polaris MP16+ (4-channel, DRAMless ) + 112l TLC toshiba

the same hardware as SN770, just limited in firmware

but it was 40$ for 1TB couple months back, then 55$, and now 70$ little insane,
