For anyone else considering doing this, keep in mind that it's extremely overkill for even the fastest USB spec out right now.

USB 3.2 Gen 2 tops out at 10Gbps, which is about 1200MB/s, while this drive does most of its sustained reads at around 4000MB/s (32Gbps).

If you jump up to USB 4.0 (20Gbps), you can double it to around 2400MB/s. But that's still nearly half of what this drive can do and it requires a USB 4.0 enclosure that currently costs more than the drive itself.

You can pick a much cheaper drive and it will still perform relative to this one over USB.

COVID caused a huge spike in demand, so suppliers started producing more NAND. Eventually, demand dropped and manufacturers were left with a ton of extra stock. Prices were dropped to sell the excess inventory and production reduced. Now that there's no longer a glut, prices are going back up. This has been widely reported for over a year.

You're completely wrong.

The lowest prices were around July-August of 2023, and they've since gone up… exactly the opposite of what you're saying.

Branded 1TB SSDs could be found for $30-$35 (or less!) and they've nearly doubled in price as manufacturers have scaled back to offset the surplus.

Stop spreading misinformation.

also the 600 TBW rating seems in line with other ssd in the same class, ie Samsung 990 Pro, WD Black SN850X, Skhynix P41 Platinum

I've been looking for a 1TB SSD for a new PC build and the reviews I've checked out seem to indicate that this is basically the best PCIe Gen 4 drive that you can get. I'm not thrilled about the price, but I haven't seen 1TB for lower than $60 lately so this seems pretty reasonable for a great drive. SSDs are more valuable than gold lately!

Thanks. Yeah I was actually considering using it for M1 max mac studio. From what I'm seeing most thunderbolt for enclosures as a bottleneck even with the fastest drives it around 2500 to 2800 speed read and write.
