Would this drive be a worthy upgrade over an WD SN550?
Already own 2 SN550 1TB, the plan is not to replace any of those but an evo 860 sata drive and my last sata drive will be a 4TB red.
But then I can find the SN550 for just under 100€ right now and the Cardea for 170€...
Double the performance for an extra 70€, hard to justify other than an itch to upgrade...

Also, it's pretty dumb to pay more than double for a 2TB compared to 1TB drive, when the bill of materials doesn't increase by 2X, you just get more storage chips o same pcb\controller...
