The rebate has an option to complete it ONLINE by uploading some photo's. You do NOT have to mail it in.
Many of these rebate credit cards make it difficult to zero out the full balance since many places will do a $1 preauth which ties that $1 up. Workarounds include prepaying utilities such as electricity or car insurance where you can specify the amount exactly or even easier, just add the entire balance to your amazon gift card balance which allows specifying an arbitrary amount.
Finally GEN 4 SSD's tend to run significantly higher temperatures than GEN 3 SSD's so a heatsink is HIGHLY encouraged. If using an ssd enclosure then make sure it has a thermal pad to distribute heat to the casing.

TIP: An easy way to use up the total balance on "rebate credit cards" is just apply whatever balance it has to prepaying a utility like electricity, car insurance etc..then you can specify the exact amount even if it ends up an odd amount or less that $1.

Of course prices will continue to fall overtime as the technology continues to get cheaper but the steep decline we've seen over the last year should be coming to an end. For now.

Something like this. Note I'm not recommending this one per se, I just linked ya the first one on Amazon after a search for what you need. I don't know this brand and I encourage you to look at reviews before you buy one.
That one actually looks fairly decent especially with 20% off coupon if anyone could confirm what chipset it uses or that it works under Linux.
I have purchased and use this one under Linux: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BJ24GHC7
With the PCI adapter & this driver, is it good for gaming compare to the 7200RPM HDD?
Thank you.
These adapters all come with a male usb-c connector to plug into pc so make sure you grab a female usb-c to USB-A adapter to plug into pc's that have the regular usb 3.x ports and not a usb-c. These were recently on frontpage but the sale is now OVER. I link them only so you can see the picture of what I'm talking about so you can find a similar deal. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07LF72431

Says that in addition to the $4.95 shipping.
It also has an SSD DRAM cache vs while the 450 has none
Other differences but those standout for me, but ultimately it depends upon your use profile.
