Really this is a killer price for a solid M.2 storage option. This won't help a Playstation (the Samsung 970 EVO Plus are only PCIe Gen 3.0 x4) but for a large percentage of users these would be a great system/OS storage SSD despite the fact that there are at least two or three options from Samsung that beat this model in benchmarks. Personally, Samsung's data migration software is still the easiest to use of any option (and I own licensed software for disk/data management and transfer).
Good luck!

Nobody needs the storage speeds they're putting out, when nothing else in the system is working hard enough to meet those requirements.
It's all a placebo.
A cache failure isn't that big of a deal, or replacing them 3-5 years down the road.

- Same sequential speeds
- Both are PCIe3
- Crucial is QLC [makeuseof.com] and Samsung is TLC
Answered my own question (TLC is better).
Debating this or the 990 Pro for the system drive for new build. I won't need the 1TB the 990 Pro comes with, but MLC plus double sequential speeds. extra $70 can be used later for upgrade.

I was more after "reliability". Went with this deal. 990 Pro and this have the same TBW for the same drive size, so reliability should not differ.

What a deal for upgrading computers that can handle an NVME and only have 128 or ~250GB Storage, plus a nice boost in performance compared to SATA or older NVME.
