    NVMe SSDs - Best affordable option?

    I wouldn't recommend Crucial & because they were one of the companies that secretly swapped TLC flash with a QLC in one of their SSDs. So when they are dropping their prices a lot, you kind of need to know what they might be up to. I'm using addlink's S70 2TB because the TBW is the highest, it's...

Not only Kingston and ADATA, even WD was caught doing that with their SN750 (You'll notice that you won't find any information regarding whether the SN770 is QLC/ TLC or whatever on their website lol) I've been buying SSDs from addlink for my PS5 and my PC...
