Wow! Now bad for 4TB! Especially if you just need fast large storage!

Good deal for a new drive. They go for about the same price pre-owned on eBay.

If you need a new drive, this is a good choice.

If you had unlimited M.2 slots, would there be any benefit to getting this over a couple 2TB PCIe Gen 3 sticks?

The only use case I can see for this would be to fill up a NAS.

Umm. It depends on what your doing. I have a 1TB nvme drive. And 1TB 2.5 crucial ssd, and 500gb crucial 2.5 ssd. Sometimes I do video editing. And I'm very unorganized and I often send files to different drives. So for example, my main exports go to my crucial 2.5" 1TB ssd. My software and transcoding takes places on the nvme drive. When I'm finished with the video. I often like to send it through handbrake to convert it to a specific file format or file size so I can send to a friend on an email real quick or a text message or on WhatsApp, and that takes place onto my 500gb crucial 2.5" drive.

And honestly…. Video editing when it renders a video, the fastest I've seen it write data at was like 5-10mbps. And copying a video from one drive to another, it never reaches full transfer speeds anyways because various compressed formats transfer at different rates. And I usually never have any file sizes that are more than a couple GB in size.

The only time I see a difference is if I need to get some footage off my other mechanical drives. Oh yeah it takes forever at that point.

What I'm saying is, this drive is for somebody who doesn't want to have the mechanical drive woes of transferring big files from one drive to another and taking forever.

Maybe you have a MacBook Air laptop, and you can take this drive and get a USB type C adapter, and this can basically be all of your editing storage. Since the MacBook storage is insanely expensive and you can't upgrade it. And it's been proven that editing off of a 2.5" drive to type c on an M1 MacBook is plenty fast. Nvme doesn't make any sense.

This drive would be for someone who wants to consolidate all of their mechanical drive storage over to ssd. Perhaps eliminating 2-3 mechanical drives in the process. Making the computer lighter. Less noise and vibration and power consumption.

We started populating our PLEX server with Samsung QVO drives the last upgrade cycle.

Our PLEX server is in a home-theater-component-style case and sits with the rest of the home theater components (i.e. in front of the room), so a low-power, low-noise build was desired. OS and scratch disk is all on a Samsung Pro-level NVME, and all data drives are QVO.

Almost 2 years in and so-far-so-good.
