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.
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.

This is 41k
But you are correct you won't get that number from another $73 drive.

TL;DR: There's nothing wrong with the drive per se, but some of the design choices seem to be driven more by sales and marketing rather than by engineering. As a result, you may see some unexpected performance degradation especially as the drive fills up.
literally any SSD "deal" is garbage right now

Appreciate your post. Yes. Most people are spending more than they need. Yes, one can future-proof, but by the time enclosures can match speeds, there are much faster drives out there for a lower price. I know your game and play it too! haha.
