I noticed in passing that the Adata XPG SX8200 Pro is at a good price as well. If you have the money, gohardrive is selling used HGST 8TB 3.5" hard drives at about $70 under the Amazon Renewed policy (90 days free returns); that paired with a small cheap SATA SSD and primocache for $30 would make an excellent gaming drive. You wouldn't want those SSDs for the system because they're dramless, but for under $100 + the $30 for primocache, you'd have an 8TB gaming drive. The Samsung EVO Plus 870 and Crucial MX500 are good buys for a system drive in a SATA form factor. (Difference between speed of SATA and fourth gen NVME is not something that you'd notice in practice -- maybe a few percent).
ETA: The HGST and the similar WD HC320 are not Prime Day sales, so there's no hurry to buy those.
Does Amazon even work in Trinidad Tobago? I'll have to ask the wife, she's currently on the payroll.
(edit) Just hit Google, apparently it works about the same as Canada. My guess is probably worse.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
