X8 is a QLC drive that sustains 800MB/s sequential wriets only for a short period of time before dropping to 150MB/s: https://www.anandtech.c
There is a very big performance difference if you are actually going to write a large amount of data to the drive.
I switched to the Samsung T7 Shield and enjoy much better performance.
Or just buy a cheap nvme and e enclosure. 😉

Thanks for the breakdown. I actually think I may go with the Samsung 870 EVO 4TB because that's on sale right now for $169 at Best Buy and Amazon. I'm trying to get Dell to price match so that I can use my Dell AMEX Offer $50 off $100. And then the UGreen enclosure is on sale for Prime Day at $14

I got the best historical deal earlier this year @ $220 each but now they are going for $199, I'd highly highly recommend them! They're nice and impact resistant, got a durable rubber outer case and yes, label maker labels stick to the rubber just fine haha. They also each c9me with USB-A and USB-C cables as well. Very happy with them over here!

Prefer to use it as an external so I can move it from computer to computer but if price is better for internals I guess I could put it into a enclosure myself.
