2 gen 2x2 interface to get the most out of the drive) is even cheaper as $290.
Now that amazon has dropped the 1tb unit price, i dunno .
Shipping
I needed fast and this item delivers!
Really fast (don't know data rate) connected to the thunderbolt port.
But after reading about very many user complaints about failed sandisk external ssd, i cancelled my order and ordered the owc envoy pro.

I needed to upgrade my 2019 retina 5k 2734 intel imac because the fusion drive had developed file directory hash errors that couldnt be resolved with disk utility first aid even after running first aid for several days
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I eventually backed up externally and offsite and reformatted the fusion drive and reinstalled macos to remedy the disk errors
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
But the disk errors seemed like a harbinger of a potential impending hardware failure and time to consider replacing the aging fusion drive with newer faster solid state drive technology

Ssds have come way down in price since i purchased my imac

But since it connects to the pcie bus on the mainboard it has the potential to be the fastest upgrade option by far

But the internal sata replacement is actually slower than the external thunderbolt option
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The pcie nvme option 3 is the fastest option but the hardest to do
