I have a rule, the card in my phone and the main drive on my main computer have to be minimum 4.7 stars. This is a 4.3 star drive, I wouldn't use it if it was free. Imagine losing everything on your computer. That's almost 2 weeks of work for me and you would be out the money for the drive as well.
I'm confused, do you not keep backups of your data?

You gauge endurance and reliability of storage by user review stars? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Remember to update the firmware to address the possible premature wearing issue.

The Samsung Pros are one of the best drives you can get. The main reason they aren't five stars is because of people bitching about the price.

This is a top end drive, but feel like the $131.99 P5 Plus at B&H is a much better deal $/perf-wise. In terms of gaming, real world performance will be basically identical

Keep in mind this drive is having issues with wear, Samsung did patch it recently but there hasn't been much data or testing since.

I installed mine in December, wrote about 3 TB's to it and it's health is already down to 94% as per crystal disk info. Not good

Hopefully the update fixed this, and hopefully 94% won't give me any issues either. Samsung also doesn't really want to replace units that have already have this much wear, which ain't so hot

The performance difference [a2kmedia.net] is so little that a 980 Pro at $170 is a much better deal for pretty much everyone, except for maybe the extreme write-heavy users.

Isn't the WD SN850X a better bet?

Yes I think the WD SN850X is better. More reliable and 1200TBW and way cheaper. I bought two last week that arrived today and installed one in a new build. The drive is blindingly fast even compared with the SN770, which I also own. THEY were 2 for $299 including the heatsinks for the Western Digital. The heatsinks on the Samsung add another $20. Mine were brand new production, January 2023.

The drive that I received (from Amazon) already had the latest version of firmware. Mine was manufactured on February 13th, 2023.
