Note the naming
This is the CX2, not the GX2. TeamGroup's part number T253X6 is the CX2 line. At least one Indian retailer lists this exact code as a GX2, which is a different product. CX and GX are separate ranges.
CX2 or Vulcan Z
The T-FORCE Vulcan Z 256GB writes at 450 MB/s against this drive's 430. That is a small difference and both are DRAM-less. The Vulcan Z is the gaming branded one and usually costs a little more. If price is the deciding factor, the CX2 is fine.
256GB fills quickly. Windows takes 30 to 60GB before you install anything. Two modern games will finish it. Buy 512GB or larger unless this is strictly a boot drive for a light machine.
