Question What 1TB SSD to get?

[philosofool]

I'm ready to get a 1TB SSD and end my life of managing three storage devices on my computer.

I'm willing to pay a small premium for a good controller, DRAM and TLC. My usage is primarily productivity, games, and software development with Python, so nothing special. I'm leaning toward a Phison controller on a silicon power NVME, https://www.amazon.com/Silicon-Power-Gen3x4-000MB-SU001TBP34A80M28AB/dp/B07L6GF81L

Does anyone think there's a particularly better deal in the world right now?

Here in Germany the Intel 665p (QLC), Kingston A2000 (TLC), Transcend MTE220S (TLC) and Mushkin Pilot-E (TLC) seem to be the best deals for 1TB Nvme drives right now. Might be worth a look.
But the Silicon Power P34A80 also seems to be a good option.
I don't think you can do much wrong with any of those drives.

The P34A80 is a bit slower than the WD SN750, which is in turn quite bit slower than the Hynix P31 Gold.

The P31 gold 1TB retails for $135, but seems like on Amazon it always has a 5%, 10%, or 15% coupon to apply bringing it down to somewhere between $115-130.

If I was shopping for a PCI-e 3.0 drive I'd pick it in a heartbeat.

Thanks. I ordered a P31. Arriving Friday!
