Amazon has the 500GB version for $42.99... if you don't need 1TB.

Personally I would never buy a refurb SSD just to save a few bucks. I'd spend a little more to get a new drive with full warranty.

Based on the one review I found, the brand new 570 would probably be worth $10 more than the 550, especially since the 550 may have suffered from a component swap that lowered its performance whereas a brand new model like the 570 probably hasn't been tampered with yet.

Are these OK for usage as cache in a Synology NAS?

Between the 500gb version VS the best buy certified refurbished Samsung EVO 870 500gb for $39.99, which is better deal, reliable, and performance?

That's a 2.5" SATA drive, while this is a M.2 NVMe drive. They're not comparable.

Or did you mean the 870 Evo Plus for $45? That's comparing a budget-market product (SN550) with a premium-market product (870 Evo) and the latter is definitely worth the extra $2.

Yes but I highly recommend using read-only cache. Recently had my read/write cache crash during a simple reboot and it crashed the entire NAS. Had to decide between manual data recovery and starting clean. Luckily I had a backup but I could see this as catastrophic to many.

Oh that's scary. I have 50TB of data. That happening to me would be devastating.

Do you believe this happened to you because of the quality of the drive or its performance characteristics are not good enough?

Tweaktown WD sn570 review [tweaktown.com]
It's really weird. WD did admit to a component swap that lowered performance but nobody knows what that component swap actually was. The prevailing theory now is that while the swap was a thing it shouldn't have resulted in this kind of performance drop and that the restriction is rather artificial firmware limitations possibly to preserve longevity or anti-Chia. The SN570 post cache performance is equal to that of the component swapped SN550 so this artificial limitation remains for both blue NVMe SSDs.
