They must be using Apple maths :)

Also don't compare SSD with a system that they have to warranty with whatever cheap brand of TLC or worse dramless buggy crap you can get from a no name brand.

Edit: oh, the second drive. Oops.

You are not seriously thinking of paying THAT for a second SSD, right? Surely can get some good brand out there for five percent of that.

My experience is that the included SSDs in most PCs are major-brand integrator-grade, which is basically the cheapest per TB you can buy, and usually non-consumer part numbers. Definitely TLC or QLC, probably DRAM-less; probably <200 write cycles.

Expect something direct from SK Hynix, Kingston, or Samsung. Intel's now out of the consumer SSD market but a few years ago a laptop came with a QLC 660p.

And those ones are far better than the muck you get on the retail market at the low end which will barf and crash the system with just a steam download to the computer. Even the netac from pbtechs seem to have issues when actually used.

We use Lenovo Laptops for work and my current one has WD SN730 which is a reasonable spec unit performance  and reliability wise.
