Does Firecuda 530 worth for its price?

So I have found this SSD in Amazon and it is listed at 200+usd for a 1tb is this worth it to buy?

There are cheaper similar drives with DRAM cache, e.g., Inland Performance Plus or Crucial T710. And DRAM cache makes no difference for you, so you should get an even cheaper drive like the Biwin Black Opal NV7400 or WD_Black SN7100.

I'm going to say no, the FC 530 is a good drive and its definitely fast but when u can get 2tb SSDs for just a little more it makes it look kind of ridiculous, I mean u can get the TeamGroup NV5000 2tb on Newegg for like $270 usually and that's a great SSD if u are looking for a SSD with a DRAM, or if its just a game Drive the Crucial P310 2tb for like $220

Well seagate firecuda are good drives and the market is crap. What are other 1tb pcie 4.0 going for, from reputable manufacturers and sellers? Like samsung, western digital, kingston, crucial, sabrent, etc?
