Recently got 1TB Samsung 980 for same price. Is this equivalent or inferior. I am casual gamera, less than 10 hrs per month and I only use my PC to browse mostly.
Dont spend money on this if you don't need it.

For your needs, it's equivalent without even looking up the specs for the 980. Read and write speeds are a vast improvement over what you used before the 980 and it would be hard for you to actually NEED more throughput than this drive gives. The 980 used pcie 3 whereas the 980 PRO uses pcie 4. The pro is faster but whether you will ever be able to use that speed with your current hardware is the real question.

In short, 2tb > 1tb and the speed difference will be negligible. However, the 980 in 1tb is warrantied for 600TBW while this 2tb drive is good for 1200TBW. I'd return the 870 and get this.

With SSDs, we're at a point of diminishing returns. It's hard to spot the real world difference between the best SSDs and budget SSDs except for things like read/write durability and capacity.

This video will demonstrate it better than I can explain it. Linus Tech Tips did a blind comparison with 3 identical systems, with only the SSD types being swapped out. People couldn't really tell the difference if they weren't pulling out a stopwatch or using a benchmarking tool.

For your use case even an SSD is fine.

980 is more expensive than this, it'll smoke crucial p5, 2tb might be slightly faster so comparing a similar(970 Evo) 2tb drive to P5 on user benchmark gets the following results:

Would this drive be good as an external usb c device if paired with an external enclosure? I would be using as a file storage device on desktop and laptop. Thanks for any advice.....

Cause Gen 3 I'm guessing?

Cool deal though, I remember a few years ago when this price would only get your 1tb lol
I don't get it why people even bother with the Gen3/4. More than 97% of normal consumers won't even need the Gen 3 speeds or notice a difference if moving to Gen4

I don't know.. I tend to be wary when people say "9x% people won't notice a difference or need xx"

Pretty sure people said the same thing with 4gb of ram lol

Love the price drops for pc components. I personally am looking for a higher tier gen4 nvme 2tb in size for around the $200-$220 price point. Tempting though!

Why? Size?type? Thinking to try on ps5. But if its just uncompatable by size then nah
Lol. Where do I start? I guess I'll start with telling you "Uncompatible" isn't a word. I had to fight my autocorrect to even spell that. The word you're looking for is, "incompatible."

Then there's the other funny part where you just proved another person's point by not taking the very short amount of time needed to Google the answer, yourself, because you're lazy. I hope people stop helping people like you. You guys need to learn how to find answers on your own.

The answer to why this won't work with a PS5 takes less than 2 minutes to find. Maybe someone else will tell you, but on principle, I won't. People need to learn how to fish, instead of just being fed.
