i initially ordered this but settled on the PNY one by paying about $30 more... you can still get the PNY for < $300 using the 2 for 20% off deal...

another reason i got PNY is because i had the 128GB thumbdrive that still works very well after many years

damn tempting sia, dunno wanna wait for black fri bo

Realistically, none of them under normal computer usage.

Some people say Random Read with Queue depth is the most common unless you are importing/exporting media (large files) which requires sequential reads/writes.

Yes indeed, added two to cart after seeing the post, then saw the warning about only have two pieces left in stock, so pulled the trigger without further ado.

Is there any 2tb nvme that has dropped below SGD200 yet ?

USD yes...

your best bet would be the WD Blue or Silicon power which is around 260 now, hopefully with some drop for Black Friday that would bring it closer to S$200.

Samsung 970 Evo Plus 1TB at 200. Good price imo.

2TB @ USD250 also good price

Same price as Sabrent Rocket

I am betting the PCIe 3.0 drives prices will drop further. Cos now more n more PCIe 4.0 drives are coming to market. Nand prices moves and fluctuates very fast.

No harm waiting. This sorts of things usually gets cheaper over time. There will be some events that will cause prices to go up, but so far there is nothing that can sustain the increase, particularly when you consider the economy is in a really bad shape.

Would you get the Samsung Evo 1TB over the WD SN750 @$183 given WD provides international warranty?
