The school I work at purchased like 10 of these all 128gb. I installed them and they are all working fine except for 1 which shite the bed a few weeks after installation. Lexar support stated that because of China restrictions all they could to for us was refund to a PayPal account. We weren't looking for a refund but a replacement since we actually needed it.
Anyways cool story bro. Not sure if these restrictions are still a thing but something to consider.🤷 ♀️ Cheap enough to gamble on so who cares.

OP Deal 512=37 x 2 = 74 doesn't seem to be a good deal.
True, but if you don't want to spend $70 for the 1TB, you're left with this for $35 or the Kingston which has worse reviews. This one only has one "bad" review on the first page of reviews which is that they got a fake, not that it's a bad drive.
The Crucial MX500 500G for $47 would be preferable, of course, but again, at more money but not that much more money.
The Team Group Vulcan Z is $59 for 1TB with, I think, good and bad reviews.
Of all I've mention, only the Crucial has DRAM.
In the $30-$40 range is a nice spot to be.
Now, I'm talking myself into the Crucial for $47.
I'm spoiled by the fact that I got a 512GB Samsung for $54 once. It was rare even then to get it so cheap.
I have some non-DRAM PNY, HP and Hyundai of 128GB and 240GB.
A friend tells me he has 128GB SSD's that fit Windows and Linux and some programs.
I always thought to have a boot SSD with DRAM and a platter HDD in the same laptop with the OS on the SSD and programs, desktop, and temp folder on the HDD to reduce reads and writes to the SSD but I need an SSD for a small laptop that fits only one drive.
I've been told I shouldn't sweat that an SSD has a limited number of reads/writes.
I've been told it should last as long as a HDD but since SSD's are more expensive than HDD's I've gone the SSD AND HDD route with laptops that accommodate two drives.
I could use my old DRAM-less SSD's I've listed above but perhaps I should go with this Lexar for more space or the Crucial since it has DRAM.
I could off-load work to an external HDD if a small boot SSD doesn't have much space for completed work.
I do Internet and rip my CD's and DVD's to file formats to use on my other devices.
