  You can pretty easily find a PCIE Gen 3 NVME 1TB SSD from an actually reputable brand nonetheless in this price range, or a low end PCIE Gen 4 drive for not much more. No deal.

    Some people like me still love their old laptop and the machine only can take a non-NVME 2280. As OP mentioned, this is for old laptops. Clearly not for you.

    Per their post, this is for people specifically needing sata m.2 drives. Few people were asking about it in their previous $95~ 1tb Pcie 3.0 m.2 deal.

    In most cases yes. But if you’re using an old laptop or motherboard with a SATA m.2 slot (No NVMe support) then you need to look for these sorts of deals

  Doesn’t have DRAM.
  WD Blue SATA m.2 is probably the cheapest with DRAM but costs $140+

  If someone is using a laptop that old then they would be better off buying a new laptop rather than spending $100 on a slow ssd.
  It is like putting a new battery in 5 year old phone.

    Not necessarily. A PC/laptop that is SATA-only can still be fine. My brother has an old Alienware 17 with 4th Gen i7 and GTX980M. Perfectly capable for gaming albeit needing to dial back some graphical options despite lack of NVMe
    A new laptop that could match this one in gaming performance could easily cost $1000+
    Furthermore, an SATA SSD is only slow in relation to NVMe. SATA is still more than suitable for most use cases. And, unlike an old phone battery, it can be re-used in new system or an external enclosure.

      Reused but with sacrificing performance. My point is that hdd is good enough if you don’t want to buy a new laptop, paying $100 for this in 2022/23 doesn’t make much sense.

        Have you used a HDD recently? Even if you’re running the OS off an SSD with games on the HDD, it’s still terrible.
        If I was running old tech, I’d probably go 500GB SSD for around half the price. I can agree that over $100 into older tech doesn’t make much sense for most cases

        Edit: I think you could justify a $115 spend on an SSD if your machine is in good health, you plan on using it for a good number of years and you need that extra storage. I probably wouldn’t put that much in but it’s not completely unreasonable depending on the circumstances
