I'm looking at getting a NVMe SSD, but can't seem to understand how two different SSDs with seemingly identical specs can be so different in cost. Here is an example: The HP EX900 M.2 500GB PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe 3D TLC NAND for $67 and the Western Digital WD BLACK SN750 NVMe M.2 2280 500GB for $120. Both are PCIe x4 and both are 500GB. What is the distinguishing featuere(s) that makes the WD almost twice as expensive?
Those are just a couple I happened to notice, not necessarily the ones I would choose from. (Those are in and slightly above my price range) But it shows the difficulty of telling a fast SSD from a slow one to someone as ignorant of the details as I am. Is there some spec I should look for, or do I need to read thru pages of benchmark comparisons.
