Get her a Crucial MX500 for very little additional cost and put your mind at ease knowing it'll be very very reliable. You could probably get away with 256GB if someone is relatively careful about not downloading everything they see on the Internet or all their pictures, but with 512 you'll basically never have to worry about it. Up to you. https://www.microcenter.com/search/search_results.aspx?N=&cat=&ntt=crucial+mx500 Reflect Free will be going away in 2024 but you can still download the free version for now.

CaptainSarcastic posted:The tier list discussion made me realize I think all my NVMe drives are WD. That's more out of laziness than fandom, though. Yeah, since the total commodification of SSDs, the gaps on the tier list are certainly less apparent and potentially less important for non-enterprise and extremely-specific use cases. I certainly wouldn't trust a strictly-budget manufacturer with irreplaceable data, but for a home user who can just redownload everything and has their pictures backed up to Google Drive and resume saved in OneDrive / Google Drive? It's fine, great even.

Slotting 3DXpoint PMEM meant losing a slot for RAM, and that's extremely silly. Ram is ten times faster, and rewarming a cache after boot is not nearly as hard as having a bunch of developers rework your app to capitalize on not-as-fast-as-ram, not-appreciably-faster-than-ssds-in-a-way-that-mattets storage. Optane--as in the storage side of it--was cool but prices never worked out for it.
