Looking to purchase a bunch of 4TB NVMe drives for my new all-NVMe NAS this incoming Black Friday, so TBW matters. Hopefully around $200 each (so PCIe 5 seems to be out of the question), though I don't want them to be slouches either (no PCIe 3). As far as I can tell, the big ones (990 Pro, SN850X, Fury Renegade, MP600 Pro/Elite) are unlikely to drop to ~$200 or less, so it looks like I may be stuck with the "second tier" of 4TB drives:
[Naturally, I'd prefer 8TB drives, but those are unlikely to drop to ~$400 this time around.]
- Lexar NM790 (no DRAM cache, TBW = 3000);
- HP FX900 Pro (TBW = 2400), Tom's review here;
- Lexar Play (no DRAM cache, TBW = 3200);
- Crucial T500?;
- Silicon Power US75 (TBW = 2400);
- Teamgroup MP44 (no DRAM cache, TBW = 3000);
- Silicon Power XS70 (TBW = 2800), etc.
