Would this be a good option for a Synology DS920+ as a caching drive?
Sure, but if you want a "read and write" cache, you need a pair of SSDs in RAID1 mirror. (You can use a single SSD if you want a "read only" cache.) A pair of 500GB SSDs is about the same price as a single 1TB, but would be more useful as a NAS cache unless you regularly move extremely large files (hundreds of gigabytes).

So nobody seems to have mentioned what is actually happening with this drive. Samsung did change it without changing the model number (still 970 EVO Plus, though they did change the part numbers). So is that wrong? IMO if the performance still hits the specs, then it is ok. In today's day and age, the manufacturer may need to source different parts due to supply issues. Samsung seems to have done this. Should they make a different model number for every single variant? I think it is ok not to. They dont want an Evo 970+ and an EVO 970.1+ and an EVO 970.15+ etc.

https://www.tomshardware.com/news...-parts-too [tomshardware.com]

Now, the issue is that companies are changing components that cause notable performance decreases (both speed and endurance in the case of SSDs switching from TLC to QLC NAND), and that is definitely wrong. Samsung doesn't appear to be doing that, but correct me if I'm wrong.

I would be interested to find out what drive B&H is shipping. The decription still mentions the (original) Phoenix controller but I would not be surprised if people get a drive with an Elpis controller.
Thanks for the link. We will see what I get once B&H ships the SSD.

Got this a few days ago for $85+tax at BB for their refurbished one deal. It was at 100% health and had only 7 hours usage and 100GB read/write on it only. It also had the old controller. It was OOS but it looks like they restocked again today if anybody wants to take a chance at refurbished one.

Have the non plus model for a few years now, rock solid and crazy fast. Very good price, can't wait until all storage primarily becomes these.

Marginal improvement, but worth it for increased capacity. I believe the Pro line still handles very large file transfers better.

Got BB to price match. Also PayPal has $25 off $250 at BB plus cashback from popular CB sites. Order was ready for pick up in 5 min. YMMV
i tried several times.. BestBuy did not price match with BHPvideo. one guy said coupons wont be considered.. other guy said store has to be within 25 miles of my location etc..

finally placed order from BHP directly.

it depends on what you're putting it in, for laptops, they have yet to support pcie 4.0 then the 970evo+ to me is the better choice since it's much cheaper than the 980 pro for the same capacities, the only real difference is in the 4k random according to one youtube video I found. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1WlzO97VfA

I also heard that samsung has also since upgraded the controller on the latest models with the same controller found on the 980 pro.

if you're putting it in a desktop with pcie 4.0 support then the 980 pro makes sense, otherwise 970 evo plus is the better buy IMHO.
Thank you.

while i was waiting for the replies.. i did search my laptop manual.. i understand that my laptop(though its latest i7 11Gen model) still have M.2, PCIe3×4, NVMe SSD. so its not worth to go for 980 Pro.

Thank you for your explanation. much appreciated.

Someone got this batch need to check the controller type:

"Essentially, newer 970 EVO Plus releases come equipped with the same Elpis controller as the 980 PRO SSD instead of the PCIe Gen 3.0 Phoenix controller."

Can these be returned at BB if they have a lot of hours? Also, do they have the Samsung warranty or is that void?
