The Lexar SE Play is QLC uses InnoGrit's IG5236 controller, runs hot, but the price and heatsink and costco return policy negates that
This Lexar NM790 is TLC 3D NAND uses Maxio MAP1602 controller the price has been 219 since launch at Costco, and it's normally about ~$10~20 less than competitor.

For those shopping for NVME M.2, DDR5 ram, prices are not going to come down anytime soon. It's not just AI demand, cause large AI infra actually uses just as much HDD (spinning drives), tariffs and supply chain shifts and poor trade economy are the upstream causes.
(Also imagine all the people upgrading to NVME M2 (new mobo) and NVME being much faster than SATA SSD. )

You may wonder why people are downvoting your comments. It is because the information you are parroting is misunderstood and outdated. Somewhere around 2019/2020 DRAM became less far less relevant for SSDs with the widespread adoption of Host Memory Buffer technology in NVMe SSD's. HMB allows DRAM-less SSD's to use a small portion of the computer's main RAM as a buffer, significantly improving their performance and making them competitive with DRAM-equipped drives for the vast majority of consumer applications,
This should be fine as a local Plex media server drive, right?
