SSD prices have rapidly ballooned as AI data centers swallow memory chips, so buying a new drive right now can seem like a bad idea. With no end in sight to the RAMpocalypse, if you do have to get one, go as big as you can afford. At a cent shy of $400 at Newegg, this Team Group T-Force G50 is an ideal purchase.

Bigger SSDs last longer than smaller ones, hence why this particular model has a write endurance of 2,600 TBW. You'd have to completely fill the whole drive, every single day for nearly two years, to hit that limit, and even then, it will still carry on working after that.

So why is this drive so cheap compared to every other 4 TB SSD out there? There are two reasons: it's from Team Group, one of the largest SSD makers with a reasonable supply of flash chips, and it's not blisteringly fast despite using a PCIe 4.0 interface.
