I'm in the market for a new SSD for my games and I've been looking at a few different options: Crucial T500, Teamgroup G70 Pro, Teamgroup Cardea A440, and Samsung 990 Evo Plus. They're all priced around $124.99, but I've spotted the ORICO 0700 for just $104, which seems like an amazing deal. What do you all think? Are there any particular drives you'd recommend and why? Also, I came across a Timetec 2TB PCIe 4.0 Gaming SSD that claims impressive specs, like a read/write speed of up to 7,400/6,400 MB/s and a longevity of 1,500,000 hours MTBF. Does anyone have experience with this one?

You might not really notice a difference between any of these NVMe drives while gaming. If they’re all similarly priced, just go for the one with the best reviews. Those read/write speeds are impressive on paper, but for gaming purposes, the TBW ratings might not be very critical since gaming primarily involves reading data.
So you think it's not worth spending an extra $20 for a more high-performance drive? I noticed that the Timetec has good reviews on Amazon and might be better than the ORICO for speed.
