Any idea what should I get for my NAS then? I’ve been looking at Lexar NM790 as one of the contenders, others being Seagate Firecuda 530 and WD RED SN700. My target is 2TB not too expensive nvme drive.
Personally I’ve used Western Digital, Seagate, and PNY drives with no failures. Stay away from anything HP branded; they don’t actually produce drives but rather rebadge other failure-prone models and make it damn near impossible to claim any warranty.
I’ve had a Samsung Evo drive fail on me, but warranty was pretty easy. I’ve also had a PNY 2.5" ssd that has never failed on me, but I did break the connector off accidentally. Warranty was actually ridiculously easy on that, despite it being entirely user error.
If data is mission critical, it’s worth shelling out extra; stay away from any cheap brands (HP, SanDisk, etc) and opt for the higher end models in reputable brands (Eg WD Red, Purple, and Gold vs Green and Blue, or Seagate Ironwolf or Firecuda)
These are my own personal experiences. Others will have better/worse experiences and I encourage you to seek out others’ experiences and options, as well as others to add their own

Newmaxx has a spreadsheet with details and recommendations - https://borecraft.com/
I’ve also been thinking of getting the NM790. Just take into account it has no DRAM.
