Yes, eventually all technology gets cheaper, faster and obsolete.

The question is whether you need it now or how much in the future. I have plenty of crap I purchased on sale that has never been used. Now I see those were BAD purchases, no matter what the price.
I bought a Samsung 980 Pro in June, so roughly 9mo ago. According to Magician, I've put just short of 10TB of writes on it with a couple of Windows reinstalls, some games, downloads, web browsing, etc.
I'm certainly glad I went with the drive warrantied for 90 years at my usage rate, rather than the one only warrantied for 53 years.


The truth is nobody as a normal consumer will come close to these TBW figures.. it's much more likely you'll use it for years, upgrade your computer and sell it or forget about it as it fades into the rear view mirror.

Also despite being QLC, these drives use a dynamic cache that depends on the remaining size of available storage where it treats the cache as SLC, so you get full write speeds. For 2tb, which starts at 256gb and never drops below 24gb. This means you'll get full speed for that cache amount, then it will drop to QLC write speeds which are pretty low.

Well it's gen 3 so I would think that at some point they would stop making this as until doesn't even exist anymore so I'm sure stock is running out

700-ish TBW, compared to a Samsung, which goes 1200 TBW for $20 more

That $80 deal will probably be back with this ssd environment in a few weeks...

i wonder how low will it go down during the months before nov. It would be so nice if it can be 50 bucks for 2tb lol.

People frequently cite the TBW values of drives as if 100's of TBW isn't "enough". Above its been pointed out that normal usage only uses a few TB per month max and often only a few / year. So most people will NEVER come close to writing 100's of TB.
Are there valid, common use case where someone actually does need >700 TBW ? I can't honestly think of how people would write that much data. Seems you could download video games and watch 4k video all day long for years and not use that much. I don't know where people would get more data...

Is a heatsink needed for this? Like for daily use and gaming? Thinking of replacing my laptops SSD for this, but I do game pretty occasionally.
