This may not be correct. As far as I'm aware, there were unsubstantiated rumors of a QLC variant of the MX500, which were traced back to drives purchased from an untrustworthy source (known for counterfeits). I have not seen any compelling evidence of a legitimate QLC variant of the MX500. That's not to say that it couldn't happen.
The 870 EVO has been plagued with reliability problems. They may or may not have been resolved. I believe there's a new hardware variant but I've only heard of it selling at 1TB, so far.
Lol the 870 Evo is one of the most reliable drives on the market. "Plagued with reliability problems" is maybe the biggest stretch I've ever heard.
The 870 Evo is a better drive than this for the same price. And if you have an open m.2 slot, get the P3 plus first. Then the Evo. Then this if they're both gone.
Exactly. I can drop 6 of these into my PC and still have 2 nvme slots left for use cases requiring more speed. I happily boot from SATA SSD on many things and never even notice a difference unless I break out a stopwatch. The revolutionary improvements were going from spinning rust to SSD, not from SATA to nvme.

Write Endurance Samsung 870 EVO 4TB Specification - 2400 TB
Write Endurance Crucial MX500 4TB Specification - 1000 TB
870 EVO is much better choice simple due to write endurance. You have 2.4 times as much drive durability. It should be no brainer to go with 870 EVO imo, especially considering samsung makes premium drives.

Also the EVO has 4gb ram vs I believe 512mb on this drive.

On paper, the 870 EVO is a slightly better drive. In practice, the difference will likely be imperceptible.
The P3 Plus is a totally different beast. It's NVMe, QLC, and DRAM-less (but has HMB). While it has much higher peaks, once the pSLC cache is full, even the MX500 will likely appreciably outpace it.
