Only thing I'd add is that some people have left reviews on multiple sites mentioning that the Team Group warranty is pretty crappy to use.
Thanks, Mr. Octopus. I was just wondering about it cause "Vulcan Z" sounds at least mid range lol. But not bad for OS and apps right, with not much huge file transfers? 400 TBW for 512GB also.

For a boot drive, I would absolutely not recommend this one. TPU's review has the Windows 10 boot time time benchmarked against numerous other SSDs. This one came in at 28.5s and was the slowest one in their entire list of SSDs. The Crucial MX500 was 9.3s, and that drive frequently goes on sale. Seems to hover around $70-75 for the 1TB on a regular sale and even lower during flash sales like we saw recently for the 2nd prime day.
Personally, I'd only consider this for a gaming only drive. For SATA SSD drives, I own a Crucial MX500 and a WD Blue 3D nand. I can confirm both have been excellent as all-purpose drives for the OS, gaming etc for two older machines.

Oh man, you're the MVP. Thanks, man. Yeah, I think MX500 sounds good. I actually live abroad, and currency has went down vs USD so the price for MX500 here is better now than over there (vs the +delivery price, ofc). But I'm looking forward to BF so I could go nuts.
