keep in mind this drive has been swapped out with different and worse components... basically the rated speed on the sticker is not accurate anymore

To the contrary the sticker was always for the lesser components and the first batch overperformed.

Just get the P5 for $6 more. It is a better SSD than the P2 in every aspect. Don't see a lot of reality in the TUs.

How do these compare to the SAMSUNG 980 SSD 1TB - M.2 NVMe's? Samsung has worked great for me thus far. Spec wise it looks almost identical.

These compare more directly with the 970 as they're all PCIe 3.0 and the 980 is PCIe 4.0.

For most use cases the 970 is slightly "better" but *probably* not worth the 50% additional cost.

If you have a motherboard that will support PCIe 4.0 (especially a PS5) there are faster options.

The question is: how fast do you really need or will take advantage of? For the most part, I can't tell the difference in my 500MB/s SATA SSD (2TB QVO 870) and my 3,000MB/s 1TB 970 (there are times/tasks, but it's rare. So will going from 2,500MB/s to 4,000MB/s be life changing for your web browsing/email? No. For gaming? Possibly, but probably not.

After doing about an hour of research (because I know very little about SSDs), thats the model I just bought about an hour ago, and was going to suggest the same thing rather than the one listed (promoted) here....much better for only $6 more from what I have read....

This drive will not work for either Xbox Series X or the PS5, but for different reasons. For PS5, it needs to be Gen 4 and this is not. For Xbox, they have an expansion slot on the outside, but you can only use Microsoft's proprietary storage for now. They use a memory card type of device with a different SSD inside. Whether or not we can use our own SSD for that expansion slot is yet to be known, but it's not possible now.

Regardless, this SSD likely wouldn't be powerful enough to run next-gen games.

Can you use this type of SSD in an external case and get the same performance? I mean one of those drive enclosures with the USB-C cable. Thanks!

P5 has DRAM cache and faster rated speed. For $6 more it's a no brainer to get P5 instead of P2. The only reason to get P2 is if you used it in a low power device and want battery life over speed.
