Any SSD that's not on this list https://www.techpowerup.com/ssd-specs/ is an automatic NOPE from me.

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

So, $85/2TB isn't even that good of a price, I'll raise this by one more level.
I was looking to populate a flash NAS with 4TB M.2s, and 2 non-brand SSDs came up during Amazon's BF sale at around $138-$145. I ended up picking a set of Teamgroup MP34s at $151. Basically, for a few bucks more, I'm buying a peace of mind on a real company. The fact that you did some basic research and cannot find a history with this company should raise the red flag for you. Are you really willing to bet data security for possibly years, on saving less than $10?
Don't buy noname memory products. It's a lottery you never win.
Fikwot rhymes with bitrot.
Which rhymes with Shitrock 🤔🤔🤔
The name sounds SUSPICIOUSLY like one of the cheap garbage plaguing Amazon lately with the random names. Not sure I would touch it with a 10 foot pole.
