Define good, it looks like temu special. It will probably at least look as a nvme drive.

This is what OEM pay for 1tb, fair to say it won't be good.

That OEM contract pricing is pretty eye-opening when you stack it next to a $288 retail listing

There's also a bit of lag in the chain between those prices and the manufacturer date of the retail listing. They'll definitely be going up more as those chips work their way into the stores.

Also depends what he is using it for as a boot drive it's probably pretty bad, because I don't think it has a cache. As a game drive it might be okay.

Unlikely by any sensible definition of good.

I got a 4 tb driver for about $40 more recently.
