Get a 2TB TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z 2TB SSD for $100.99 (was $170)
So what do you need to know about the Vulcan Z? Most importantly, this is a TLC SATA drive without a DRAM cache, putting it between the cheapest SSDs - QLC SATA drives without a DRAM cache - and higher-grade SATA SSDS - which have TLC NAND and a DRAM cache. That means you get better longevity than those QLC drives, at a slightly higher asking price, but without the sustained performance advantage provided by DRAM cache models.
That makes this drive ideal for use as game or media storage, but it could be used for a primary drive in a lower-end desktop or laptop without any difficulties. Of course, faster SSDs for gaming do exist, and we’d recommend an NVMe drive for those that have a free slot in their rig due to the higher sequential and random performance it unlocks… but sometimes an older-style SATA drive like this one is just the best option available.
