I just had to buy a m.2 drive. It cost more than double the same item I bought in 2022. It also cost more than the entire computer it's being installed into! FML.
Yep. A few months ago the 1TB "King fast" m.2 that came in a $150 refurb tinyQ died. Replacement drive was... I want to say $160? (Locally, needed it ASAP)
I should've opened the case up when I got the PC and noticed the obvious knock off/garbage SSD but I can't honestly say I'm surprised.
