Intel SSD had the absolute worst warranties for SSD of any other brand and that continues with the new owner although their terms only refer now to "how much use was left according to the SMART before the warranty was void" without stating what ithe threshold of the SMART might be. Intel's SSD warranty was a pitiful 370TB endurance (TBW) per TB of total drive capacity. Compare that to the TBW of Samsung or virtually every other SSD drive out there before you buy, they are many multiples higher than the Intel/Solidgm TBW. Forget the number of years as it has little bearing on what is really warranted on SSD drives. It appears that Solidgm does not plan any future updates to this part of their product line and intends to keep pumping out the rebranded Intel drives. Yes the prices are attractive and performance isn't bad, but if the warranty is any indication don't expect durability.
also, 370TBW, which supposedly refers to intel's 670p or similar product line, is due to the drives are QLC, and most QLC drives have relatively low TBWs. Looking at similar product lines, crucial P3(plus) is rated at 220 tbw per TB, and WD SN350 comes with a laughable 80 TBW per TB. I don't know why you think 370 TBW per TB indicates poor durability but it is actually enough for almost ten years of normal use such as office, gaming, or even system drive, which probably covers 90% of the use scenario. My current 5-year-old system drive is still at 64TB total reads and 51TB total writes and my 4-year-old game drive is at 67TB reads and 32TB writes despite I'm a heavy gamer and have my PC on for 5-10 hours on a daily basis. Most SSD drives will die from various other causes before reaching the rated TBW anyway.

Specs look about the same or worse?
Does the game mode cache loading on the 850x work?

this specific drive uses an skhynix controller, dram and nand. this drive is IDENTICAL to the skhynix P41 platinum. the same exact product but with a different sticker on it.

Got one. Thanks!
" For PCIe drive usage, the value of the SMART attribute is referred to as "Percentage Used", as measured by Solidigm implementation of this "SMART" attribute and reported by the Solidigm Storage Tool (or such other tool as approved by Solidigm), reaches or exceeds a value of "100". No where on the site is TBW stated, so Tom's must be clairvoyant

However since you are quoting Tom's, here's their assessment on the Intel/SK Hynix deal.

I stand by my earlier statement. Here it is black and white.
