Why this configuration
A 1TB MLC SSD is a specific spec configuration. It narrows the field to one set of characteristics so you can compare like with like.
1TB is the capacity most single-drive builds settle on.
Usually chosen for: a particular build requirement.
Good fit: mainstream desktop and laptop builds.

Common questions
How do the links to Amazon work here?
3 of the 26 drives listed have a direct product link; for the rest we link an Amazon search on the manufacturer part number, which lands on the right listing. We deliberately don't display stock or prices on this page — check both on Amazon, they change constantly.
