HAVE YOU TRIED THE LENOVO PS6 OR PS8 PORTABLE SSD?

So I noticed last autumn that Lenovo launched their own external SSDs so I purchased the PS6 2TB SSD for $89.99 not too long ago after waiting for it to come back in stock. Not only is this one of the best prices on a 2TB SSD I have gotten but it seems to be of great quality. I downloaded a 60GB game in about 4-5 minutes which is impressive. It performs better than my Samsung T5 1TB SSD which advertises the same 500mb/s read and write speeds. The PS8 is advertised as double that speed but requires a gen 2 port which my Legion laptop only has a usbc 3.2 gen 1 port. It is also half the size of my Samsung SSD maybe slightly bigger than a box of tic tacs. Has anyone purchased a Lenovo brand SSD and did it perform well for you? I cannot speak for longevity as I have only had mine for a short time but if it has the life span that other popular brands do then it will be my go-to for SSD storage. I wanted to create this post because it went under the radar for me until I actually scrolled through a couple of pages of drives on lenovo.com and thought it would be a good way to make folks aware of it and find out if those who have bought one are also getting good performance. It seems to sell out every few weeks so it must be gaining popularity. Is there another affordable portable SSD that is your go-to drive? This is the best quality vs price that I have found. I almost got a Crucial but reviews were middling due to some failed drives. Any feedback would be much appreciated. I usually need more storage a couple of times a year so I am always looking for a good affordable brand.
