But even those are still constrained by the SATA interface. Last laptop I bought had 4 NVME slots - no mSATA, no CD or SATA bays...

And if you're using an enclosure or system capable of it, difficult to imagine a better use for SSD than L2 on the front-end. For large cap, hard to ignore manuf-refurb 8TB Enterprise drives with 1500 hours/zero defects for $120 a pop...

I've run Samsung EVOs exclusively for the last few years and been very happy with them overall (unlike some of the cheaper offerings). Be interesting to see how 4T 1351 Nytros pan out...
