Why this configuration
A 1TB PCIe 3.0 TeamGroup SSD is an affordable NVMe step up from SATA. Gen3 is roughly six times SATA's throughput yet often costs little more, making it the easy default for a first NVMe drive or a laptop that only supports Gen3. TeamGroup specifically tends to be chosen here for its firmware track record and warranty support.
1TB is the capacity most single-drive builds settle on.
Usually chosen for: budget builders, laptop upgraders and anyone leaving SATA behind.
Good fit: mainstream desktop and laptop builds.
