I couldn't find too much info on the SSD because of this "blade" variant, but if it's the same as the non blade variant, here are the specs. https://www.xpg.com/us/xpg/solid-...0?tab=spec
$45 per TB is a very solid deal currently and this drive should work well for most builds.

Unfortunately this seems to be a low quality qlc dramless drive. The endurance rating is especially appalling, this two terabyte drive has an endurance rating of 450tbw. For reference, 600tbw per 1 terabyte capacity is standard for any decent quality modern tlc drive, so this 2tb drive has only slightly more than one third of the endurance rating of a competent 2tb tlc drive (standard endurance rating of 1200tbw). I unfortunately can't find any reviews or detailed specs about the nand and controller this drive uses. It doesn't appear to have dram, and considering the listed max sequential speeds is likely using a low end controller. At least it supports hmb (host memory buffer), so the lack of dram isn't downright cataclysmic, but this is a very low tier drive overall.
Ultimately, I wouldn't recommend this drive for use as an os/boot drive or to store any sensitive/important information. Any use cases that would involve consistent write operations is also completely out. If you want static mass storage or maybe a game drive (if you don't often switch out large games), this is probably an acceptable option at this price. Adata claims this drive is ps5 compatible, but there's no way of knowing if it actually functions well in a ps5 without any reviews. Make sure to keep backups, I wouldn't trust this drives reliability. Qlc drives are also not recommended for cold storage (storage where the drive is left unpowered for months or longer at a time), since they're more prone to data loss when left unpowered for long periods.
Considering how awful the ssd market has gotten over the past 8 months or so, at $90 this unfortunately passes for an acceptable deal on a drive for certain use cases. As mentioned previously though, unless a drive with poor performance, abysmal endurance, and unknown reliability fits your specific use cases, I'd avoid this drive.
Dram less too assume if they don't readily supply the Controller name and specs..
