Please let me know if there’s a better subreddit for this, as I couldn’t think of a better one.

I recently found out you can create makeshift CF Express memory cards cards with a 2230 SSD and an adapter. This is great since CF Express cards are generally expensive.

However, I’m trying to figure out if SSDs like the SAMSUNG PM991A PCIe NVMe would be sufficient for this. I know that a lot of SSDs slow down significantly after the SLC/MLC cache has been filled, but it’s hard to find data on this for popular NVMes like the Samsung 990 Pro, let alone more obscure non-labeled 2230 SSDs.
