$163 is a great price for this, but $500 regular price is a joke.

These have greater protection from data loss caused by power outage.
Samsung uses "journaling" to preserve data
Crucial and Sabrent can lose data

"However, due to the nature of DRAM chips, DRAM cannot store data when power is lost, which is a legitimate reliability concern for SSDs when unexpected power outages occur. Most consumer SSDs aren't equipped with the power loss capacitors that we see on enterprise SSDs, which makes them more vulnerable to losing data during unexpected power loss events...Thankfully, some SSD manufacturers have countermeasures in place for such an occasion. One example is a technique used by Samsung (opens in new tab) that employs journaling to keep as much data intact as possible during a power outage...

I tested a random selection of four NVMe SSDs from four vendors. Half lose FLUSH'd data on power loss. That is the flush went to the drive, confirmed, success reported all the way back to userspace. Then I manually yanked the cable. Boom, data gone.February 21, 2022

Update 2: models that lost writes:SK Hynix Gold P31 2TB SHGP31-2000GM-2, FW 31060C20Sabrent Rocket 512"

Some Consumer NVMe SSDs Reportedly More Prone To Data Loss During Power Outage
By Aaron Klotz published February 23, 2022
DRAM plus a power outage could makes for a bad situation

Damn... I need this model drive for my Nas but I need two. This seems to be a good price but I need two 1TB. A total of 4TB for my Synology seems like beyond overkill. But the price..... 🤔

If you're using it as a NAS cache, 4tb might not be overkill. Synology suggests 3tb max from what I read. what an odd number.

It depends on the volume size. 3tb cache good for like 30tb to 40tb.

This drive is comparable face to face to the hynix p31 in almost every category except for power efficiency and temperature. The p31 has gone on sale for $160 for the 2tb.
