Especially seen that the one who has the means to pay for fiber to the home able to sustain 500 Mbit/s+ download (at less than that even cheap SSDs shall sustain the write speed anyway right?) and has the means to buy games from Steam probably can afford to spend 50 EUR on a fast SSD?
TFA mentions 137 EUR Samsung SSD from 2019 but prices have dropped since then. And nowadays all mobos ship with NVMe M.2 PCIe slots and you find stuff like that for 44 EUR: Sabrent M.2 NVMe SSD 256GB Interne Solid State 3400 MB/s read, PCIe 3.0 X4 2280 or for 80 EUR: Samsung 970 EVO Plus MZ-V7S1T0BW (that was a 200 EUR+ drive two years ago I think).
Would have been interesting to compare vs those beasts, which are also cheap.
My point is: if you've got a setup allowing you to max the write speed of a cheap SSD, you've got the 30 or 40 additional EUR to buy an ultra fast beast.
P.S: I don't mind paying a bit more so as adviced here, for my new build I bought a Western Digital SN850X Black.
