Might be mildly interesting to anyone looking at SSDs, I initially went with a 1GB PCS M.2 NVME SSD, mainly due to cost and the fact that it was a prebuild. Because of the loading benefit of games on SSD I decided to add another M.2NVME to my computer. Purchased an ADATA XPG SX82000Pro 1TB for the second M.2 slot. Because this has faster speeds than the PCS one I decided to make this my boot drive.
After looking into the PCS one its a Netac G930E M.2 NVME SSD with no DRAM but uses HMB to speed it up. A cheap Chinese make as expected but actually quite well received online by my research with no glaring issues and good performance. In practice there is of course no practical difference in having the ADATA as my boot drive despite being theoretically 33% faster. I wouldn't hesitate to get another PCS M.2 SSD if I needed to again.
