I've been waiting for a 2TB SSD with the enclosure included or with a cheap enough price to add an enclosure and still be at the $100 price point to replace an old 2TB G-Drive I have. This finally dropped below the usual sale price of $120. I bit and thought others might want to jump in as well.

Still not a bad deal considering that decent USB 3.1 Gen 2 NVMe enclosures run about $20.

Thanks.
I was not able to find if there's an easy way to open and swap the drive, Google didn't give much help.
I think even if it's possible, opening maybe a bit pain and not as easy as an enclosure
Read speed is very commonly a good deal faster than write speed, due to the propagation delay of write confirmation from the drive. That, and the peak read speed spec on this drive is just a bit inside of the theoretical maximum speed for USB 3.1 gen 2.

At wok we have ~25 Thinkpad laptops, most 8th gen intel, some newer. 4 of the NVME drives failed, 2 of them were the LEN(ovo), 2 of them the low end WD drives. All 4 crapped out within the first few weeks. 3 of them were easy replacements, they just shipped the new drives to us in a few days and we returned the old ones. The 2nd out of the 4 bad one was a PIA for whatever reason with warranty, took 2 months to resolve, and had to send in the bad drive first. I did the same warranty process every time.
