I have three Teamgroup 1TB SATA SSD's .
First one in a PS4 that shows no real improvement over the stock drive. I even cleaned any dust from the unit when putting the new drive in but the fan now runs louder now than ever before.
Second one as a data only drive in an old personal PC relegated to Temporary File Storage (aka poor mans file server). This is used 95% for just data retrieval, and it is bad (per their SSD Testing software) within a year. I had no need to encrypt it as it was in a locked server room in my house and I have had several issues w Bitlocker at the Enterprise level at work. It is now read only w a lifetime of both personal data and PHI on it, so I cannot ship it back. I explained this to them but it appears I am out of luck unless I ship that drive, with all that readable data exposed, from the US to Taiwan.
The 3rd one I have not installed yet and, based on the other two, I'll just eat the cost on that one and chalk this purchase up to experience at trying to get away w inexpensive storage vs the Samsungs I have everywhere else.
So, in short, you do get what you pay for when buying off brands. Personally, I'll be spending the few extra dollars even for cheap, basic applications, for name brand, reliable drives from now on.

"Team Group MP33 M.2 NVMe SSD Review: NVMe performance at SATA prices"
I'd probably go for the WD Blue SN570 at $89 but this looks pretty good for even less.

I use it to hold my Steam library, which is easy to re-download if the new drive fails.
EDIT: WAIT A MINUTE. This drive has a five year warranty, I missed that. Nevermind, I will wholeheartedly recommend this drive as a boot drive, or whatever.
