Up from there, the best near-premium drive is a SN770 at $109 (from Walmart).

I considered the drive in this thread briefly for a new PC build (mid-tier gaming PC) a few weeks ago.
Then I realized it was QLC, and I was a little concerned about the 450TBW rating, which is low for a drive of this size in this class.
I opted for the Silicon Power UD90 (currently $96 on Amazon) because it was TLC.

(Early drives were TLC, but they hardware swapped. Even the US75 drives are QLC now.)
SN770 shows $109 from me, the the seller being Sandisk:

If you have 5-10 Gbps USB ports, you're wasting money on enclosed SSDs. Just buy the cheapest external plug-in that you can buy. And if that's the case, game storage will work, but it's not anything like storing it internally in the laptop or using Thunderbolt ports with NVMe.

But everyone has a different use case, and I'm not going to poo poo on their needs, I just wish they wouldn't scream at everyone that it's bad, because it's bad for them.

These are great as storage drives that you don't need to access everyday, like family memories and documents. Try these links. I'm not affiliated with these reviewers and receive no compensation by posting such links, but both are very informative.
If I didn't already have a NVME drive in an enclosure I would've picked this one up for an external drive.
