What does it cost today, and is that a good price?
Market confidence: LowAt CAD 230 the TeamGroup QX 1TB is priced in line with its CAD 230 representative market level. Only one retailer currently backs that price, so the level is a single data point rather than a market.
Limited market: only one retailer currently has a verified offer, so treat this price as a single data point.

Performance and where it ranks
Two different questions, side by side. Performance compares what the hardware can do; Value compares what that capability costs at today’s price. A product can rank high on one and low on the other — that gap is the point.

Balanced has no letter: it is a weighting preset, not a capability rubric. A grade answers “how well does this handle that job?” — price is never part of it. Relative Value puts the current market price back in.

- You want strong value for Game specificallyat today's market no realistic price for this model reaches strong value for Game — the calculation only gets there near CAD 92, against a cheapest tracked CAD 230

For the selected scenario this is not a strong fit — the grade above is the reason, and the models below suit it better.

- Heavy Creative Work is not actually your main job — System Drive isit grades C for Heavy Creative Work, but A for System Drive

- You are buying for Heavy Creative Work and want no asterisksthe rubric caps this grade: the sata interface caps sustained writes near 500 mb/s, so this is graded on endurance among sata drives rather than against nvme scratch disks.

FAQ
Why does Relative Value change when I choose another scenario?
Each scenario changes the weights applied to capability, price and the other published factors. The hardware facts stay fixed, but the value question changes, so its score and rank can change too.
Why can Amazon appear without a tracked price?
Amazon is shown as a discovery link when we do not have a permitted verified price snapshot. It is excluded from price comparisons, rankings and Relative Value until a compliant tracked price exists.
