Perhaps not of the top of the line 970 Evo & Pro ones but the "slower" cheaper QLC ones like Intel 660p & Crucial P1, which have reached the price of ordinary ssd drives that have more than 4x slower speeds (~ 100$ for 1TB drives). >> >> Would they be a better choice for PR & AE for fast I/O read and write operations than a regular ssd and if not why?
