Its not a budget option, you can definitely get cheaper ones. At 500Gb I dont think you will make use of the 4.0 speed anyways.

I bought it for $30 from a discount. Does it have any chronic issues? I couldn't find a review/specs article for it on TechPowerUp.

$30 for this drive is alright. These SanDisk SSDs use the same flash and controller from their Western Digital branded counterparts, I believe this specific model you purchased is a rebranded version of the WD_BLACK SN770 drive. They pretty much have the exact same specifications and ratings, should be pretty reliable. I would say it's a good deal.

Thank you for the information.
