I find it very hard to browse all these comparison sites. For example i need a very simple question: whats the very best SSD i can buy 1TB for under or near $500. So much confusion, especially Samsung with all the EVO and PRO and numbers and whatever models sheesh.

A recent discussion on WebHostingTalk[0] gives you a simple answer: >For Sata: DC S3610 1.6tb Intel SSD -- under $200 right now on ebay >For NVMe DC P3605 1.6tb Intel SSD -- usually around $200 on ebay (addin card) or a little more as U.2 drive.

> whats the very best SSD i can buy 1TB for under or near $500 The problem is that you have already made some kind of decision that $500 is a reasonable threshold for getting 1TB of SSD, and some assumption that you stand to gain anything at all by paying extra for the same capacity. That's kinda backwards; you should start by figuring out how much performance and endurance you need out of your 1TB of storage, just like you've apparently already figured out that 1TB is the capacity you need. You might be fine with a $99 1TB SSD, or maybe you need a $320 1TB SSD. But it's pretty odd to expect a purchasing guide to be a useful tool to figure out how best to overpay for your storage.
