In my case I chose the Samsung 960 Pro NVME at 1TB which come at about €560 each, but sequential read speeds of 3500MB/sec (not a typo, BYTES, not Bits), and write speeds of 2100MB/sec
There are more reasonably priced options. If you're only interested in using an NVMe SSD for booting then you don't need 1TB; The 512GB model is half the price.
I bought a new workstation a couple weeks ago and one of the options was various Samsung 960 NVMe PRO's including the 2 TB at ~$1300 (~€1100 ?) the later to which I said, umm, no thank you for that :-/ My question to you, and to Greg F who also apparently has experience with these things, is: these come with hardware encryption. How does that work with linux, specifically openSUSE of course. Can you boot 42.3 off a hardware encrypted NVMe? If so, anything special need to be done to permit said booting? Thanks.
