That said, you're probably not going to see a meaningful upgrade to an SN850 for awhile (it's still one of the faster Gen 4s though the 850X is a bit faster), and going from an SX8200 Pro to a P5 Plus isn't enough of a jump to really be noticeable unless you have workloads that are super sensitive to storage speed. You'll probably have to wait till fast Gen 5 drives are available to realize any significant difference, and even then you very well might not notice it in day-to-day usage.

Having said that I have bought 3 Teamgroup drives in the last year and they all work perfectly, with similar competitive performance. I guess time will tell with endurance.
Speaking of endurance - I have yet to ever see a SSD fail (maybe Im lucky?) 1000+ TBW or whatever really is ALOT of writes, a typical user would take decades to hit this. (ie would upgrade / discard long before hitting it)
The Google AI says they have half the failure rate compared to HDDs (from a Backblaze study)
Other PC components are also much more expensive if you compare current vs last generation performance. I do agree it's usually a better value to buy a generation or two back.
Anyone that doesn't mind "gen 3", buy the 670p. I know mentally it sounds like ancient tech, but it's not.
