I'm in the market for a 1TB Gen4 SSD and I've got four options that fit my budget and specs. All of them boast speeds over 7000 MB/s and I believe they all use TLC technology. I'm primarily going to use this SSD for gaming and I also plan to set it up as my boot drive. Here are the models I'm considering:
1. Patriot Viper Gaming VP4300 Lite
2. WD SN7100
3. Samsung 990 EVO Plus
4. Lexar NM790
Can anyone help me figure out which one would be the best choice?

All options are pretty comparable for gaming. However, the Samsung 990 EVO Plus has the edge in terms of random IOPS performance, which can be a plus.
When it comes to gaming, SSD types won't drastically impact load times, so go for the best value. Just find the cheapest one that meets your requirements.
Yeah, for sure! Looking at prices in INR, it seems like the Samsung is around 9600, Lexar is 10300, Patriot is 9400, and WD is about 10900. So, Patriot might be a good pick!
Check out this list I found, it's a great resource. Most mid-range SSDs will serve you well for everyday use. Honestly, just choose the least expensive option that meets your specs.
On paper, the Lexar looks promising with its specs of 7400/6500 speeds and 1000TBW.
But wait, isn't the Lexar rated for the highest speeds and TBW? Its random IOPS are 850K vs Samsung's 1M, so it seems competitive.
