Why this configuration
A 1TB QLC SSD is a capacity-per-dollar configuration. QLC packs more gigabytes per dollar in exchange for lower rated endurance.
1TB is the capacity most single-drive builds settle on.
Usually chosen for: bulk storage and read-heavy media libraries.
Good fit: read-heavy storage — media libraries and game installs you rarely rewrite.
Look elsewhere for: heavy sustained writes or a video-editing scratch disk.

The parts, explained
1TB is the mainstream single-drive capacity.
QLC NAND stores more per cell for a lower price per terabyte, but sustained writes and rated endurance are lower, so it suits read-heavy storage.
Common questions
Is QLC reliable at 1TB?
QLC is fine for typical and read-heavy use; just expect a lower rated endurance (TBW) than a comparable TLC drive, and slower writes once the SLC cache fills.
How do the links to Amazon work here?
18 of the 32 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.
