USB 3.2 Gen 2 tops out at 10Gbps, which is about 1200MB/s, while this drive does most of its sustained reads at around 4000MB/s (32Gbps).
If you jump up to USB 4.0 (20Gbps), you can double it to around 2400MB/s. But that's still nearly half of what this drive can do and it requires a USB 4.0 enclosure that currently costs more than the drive itself.
You can pick a much cheaper drive and it will still perform relative to this one over USB.
The lowest prices were around July-August of 2023, and they've since gone upโฆ exactly the opposite of what you're saying.
Branded 1TB SSDs could be found for $30-$35 (or less!) and they've nearly doubled in price as manufacturers have scaled back to offset the surplus.

The pricing error that was almost instantly sold out, you mean. That is no measure of value in other typical pricing or price changes.

In terms of efficiency, the Gen 3 P31 was and might still be the best SSD for laptops. For a while it was the undisputed "most efficient" drive - it was both fast and used the least power. However some of the more recent Gen 4 drives are quite a bit faster, so depending on how you measure "efficiency" they are better. They use more power, but they are faster so the operation should complete more quickly, so if you measure efficiency by how much energy will it take to write a large amount of data, they are more efficient than the P31. However I'm not sure that's the best metric to be targeting - I'm probably concerned with power for heat and throttling, and to that end the P31 will probably remain cooler for most real uses.
The most efficient Gen 4 drives are actually the DRAM-less drives based on the Maxio controller and 232 layer YMTC flash (the YMTC flash is great, but stay away from the YMTC drives WITH DRAM and the Innogrit 5236 controller). They're not the fastest but are plenty fast, all without relying on caching tricks which can juice benchmarks but lead to issues later on. The capability of YMTC flash is why Micron lobbied against them (one factor which is allowing the cartel to raise prices).

You will have to ask the cartel. They are the ones who manipulate the prices.

Quick question, what about transfer speeds inside the drive, such as organizing files into folders on the drive its self. I'm looking at getting a fast drive so I can sort thru and organize my photos, videos, documents before offloading them to an hdd for archiving.

can you please recommend me a cheap 1TB drive for laptop, i am looking for two drives I am OK anything above 1500mbps Read n Write as i want to install them in a Dell Inspiron 3520 and a HP Elitebook 845 G8 which I bought from Microcenter for $300+$20 shipping, my budget is tight , so not looking a brand named drive..but whatever you suggest should last long and should be reliable please.Thanks
anyone else also please free to jump in with your suggestions

That's been more reliable for me if I only need a deal on a drive here and there. If you need quantity though, that strategy won't work.
Otherwise, if you're REALLY on a tight budget - Micro Center has Inland drives that are incredibly cheap and they're.... passable.
What exactly is your question?
If I understood your post correctly. You were suggesting to get a slower drive because the drive speed is limited based on USB 3.2 standards where USB 4.0 is a lot more expensive. So to get a slower drive and not waste money on a faster drive when you can't use it to its full capacity.
So much question was... what about the drive speed if your moving files from one folder on the drive to another (still on the same drive) does it matter what the USB speeds are if you're rearranging files on the drive.
Would it still be worth it to have a faster drive? Or not because the speed is still based off the USB protocol.

This is why people had trouble with the original question, it didn't really make any sense.
Now if someone is talking about viewing files, especially in directories with tons of files, the nature and speed of the drive comes into play because the OS needs to read the files on the drive to populate file names and do anything else. Here you would probably want the fastest/most responsive drive your budget allows.

Now, whether or not you can live with a connector that's meant to be internal now being external is another matter. But I guess you could enclose it.
