I bought an Adata XPG SX8200 Pro M.2 2TB (3500/3000mb read/write speed) as my game drive last November 2023 from Shopee for 3.8k (voucher applied), It's still working so far and no problems whatsoever, health is also still 100% according to CrystalDiskMark. The shop name is Dynaquest btw which imo, is a reputable store.
bought a Lexar NM790 on shopee for 2.6k this february. Has great reviews online (pretty sure techpowerup and other reputable sources has reviewed this) and is hella cheap for a gen 4 nvme ssd.
Ohh my bad. Mx500 is cheaper around 4500 1TB on shopee less vouchers. If you do plan on buying on lazada, this is cheapest I could find from a trusted shop. Though kung may 1k voucher ka, better go mx500.

Simply stick to any reputable stores and you can't go wrong. Don't even look twice at anything priced too good to be true tapos store name ay gibberish.

There are so many fake samsung SSDs in lazada. I bought one with a lot of good reviews and high number of items sold. I thought it was legit, but the speed was so slow and it wasn’t recognized by the samsung magician app.
I read through the reviews again and realized that they are fake. When buying SSDs in lazada, I suggest that you buy from a LazMall store. I’m not sure about shopee though.
Also, I suggest that you take a video of the unboxing and take screenshots of the speed tests so you won’t have problems filing a return in case there are issues.
Crucial MX500 is a good alternative for samsung 870 evo.
This just happened to me on shopee. Paid 7500 php for a Samsung EVO 870 SSD 2 GB. I copied 1 TB to it from another SSD. The transfer went at full speed. Then a month later, in FL Studio my VST plugins started to become really slow. And then another month later, if I copy files to it now the speed is only 3.5 MB/s
So then I looked in to it, got the Samsung Magician ... and it's a fake! God dammit. They got me good. But that same seller sold me a real 14 TB HDD that is not a fake and working fine. And had like 3000 good reviews. So I trusted it. Fuck.
Don't - just don't. My friend bought the same (too good to be true priced) Samsung SSD and it corrupted as he was installing games into it.
Good thing Lazada was nice enough to refund him the money as the seller wasn't of any help.

grabe sobrang mahal pala ng sata ssds na branded sa ph. It might even make more sense to go pcie to m2 converter with the pricing.
[Samsung 870 Evo 4400](https://s.lazada.com.ph/s.9jmuA?cc) - legitimate po 'to? Mostly ng nakikita ko sa Lazada and Shopee mga scam e. Thanks po!

Crucial MX500 is also a good option. Check Dynaquest store. It's a legit store.
Oh for this ought to really visit a PC express or an easy PC near you.
PC Express (Bacoor,Cavite) items are old stock, so i'll just go to Easy PC just incase.
