Can I trust this site (Play-Asia)?

I go by the general rule, if you feel like you have to ask, then don't do it. If it feels too good to be true, it probably is.

What about the good reviews... maybe bots.

If its coming from Hong Kong, its probably too good to be true. There are ways of spotting fake Samsung logos on products actually, with the A being thicker or thinner:

I once did the unthinkable, back many headphones ago...

I split an audio split, again

Or scripted. Don't believe reviews from websites you don't know.

Play-Asia have been selling anime / Eastern gaming related merchandise since forever and are well known in that fandom. I have ordered from them before. I think I got my Japanese PS2 from them in order to play region locked games, without the unlocking pain. Edit: found the e-mail, I did, back in August 2007! My order history is longer than I'd like to admit...

 

That particular SSD, the price doesn't seem good to me. It is only slightly cheaper than UK, but by the time you factor in shipping and customs fees, it will cost more to get it into Europe. Check if amazon.co.uk ship to you and at what price.

Gaming system: R7 7800X3D, Asus ROG Strix B650E-F Gaming Wifi, Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE ARGB, Corsair Vengeance 2x 32GB 6000C30, RTX 4070, MSI MPG A850G, Fractal Design North, Samsung 990 Pro 2TB, Acer Predator XB241YU 24" 1440p 144Hz G-Sync + HP LP2475w 24" 1200p 60Hz wide gamut
Productivity system: i9-7980XE, Asus X299 TUF mark 2, Noctua D15, 64GB ram (mixed), RTX 3070, NZXT E850, GameMax Abyss, Samsung 980 Pro 2TB, random 1080p + 720p displays.
