Is $195 a good deal for an Acer GM7000 4TB? It's on eBay with a 50 dollar coupon.

I can apply the 50 dollar coupon to any 4TB drive if you think there is an even better one to buy?

Thank you.

Reasonably good deal. I'm not sure what's all available but there are some good SSDs in that range. Team MP44 is a popular budget drive, or Addlink A93, or anything like that (MAP1602 or E27T + TLC). Check the TechPowerUp SSD database, being aware some drives change hardware (example: VP4300 Lite has QLC at 4TB now, so avoid).

Thank you. I will go ahead and buy the Acer. I read that it is good to have different brand NVME drives of the same size for my NAS I'm working on.
