If you are not quite happy with how fast your PC boots up or how quick and snappy things feel, then MSI may have just the right thing for you. The company's SPATIUM M560 NVMe SSD is currently on sale for a price of just $70 for the 1TB model making it an amazing deal (purchase link under the specs table down below).
The drive is based on 218-layer 3D TLC NAND and that means it has quite good endurance, even being a 1TB model. As it is a PCIe Gen5 NVMe SSD it promises very fast delivery speeds, but it does get quite hot and thus, adding a decent heatspreader is compulsory or else it will throttle under sustained loads which is common for PCIe 5.0 drives.
The one minor drawback of the model is the lack of DRAM cache on it, however, it makes use of HMB (host memory buffer) technology that can access system memory for metadata caching purposes which can improve random access times.
