1TB M.2 SSD for Model S LR Refresh for Steam and Sentinel?

I've been running an M.2 NVMe drive in my MS Palladium (AMD) and M3 (Intel). No issues with either car so far. Went with 512GB Intel 670p drives. $28.99 at Micro Center and Amazon and backed by a 5 year manufacturer warranty. Same drive that came with my Thinkpad X1 Carbon Gen 7 and that one's still reporting plenty of life left after a few hundred TB worth of writes. Not the fastest drive in the world but more than enough to saturate the USB 3.0 interface in the car.

M.2 enclosure from Amazon. I just bought the cheapest one that supports NVMe (watch out for the uber cheap enclosures that only support SATA SSDs).

I originally left all 512GB for Sentry and Dashcam but later split the drives into two partitions. Found that the in-car viewer takes a lot longer to load when there's a ton of footage; 64-128GB is a nice balance between recording time and speed.
