"The NAND Flash memory used on this NVMe M.2 SSD, is noted down by Samsung as MLC. The reality, however, is that the configuration shows 3-bits per cell written, and that means this in fact is TLC written NAND. Samsung for a long time now has been using some creative freedom using the word 'Multi' in MLC, which factually can be explained like that, however, no matter how we look at it, this is TLC. It would be good if Samsung started to label their NAND writing methodology properly, as any responsible company would do. TLC versus MLC is important as the type of writes is directly related to endurance, the number of program and erase cycles a NAND cell can cycle. Samsung offers just 150 TBW for the 250 GB model, 300 TBW for the 500 MB model, and 600 TBW for the 1TB model, which we test. MLC based NAND would have had far greater TBW values."

"MLC", LOL... Good one.

"Samsung calls the 980 a "three bit MLC" SSD, which is a lot like referring to a red car as "pink." To justify this, the company leans on the fact that "M" stands for "Multi"—so in plain English, "three bit MLC" could make sense, despite being utter nonsense in the established terminology of SSDs. From here on out, we're going to call it what it is: TLC."

970 cuz it consumes less power if you are using in a desktop with sufficient cooling

980 is used generally for gaming purposes

Thanks. I plan to put it in my HP Elite Mini PC. Not sure whether it's qualified as desktop with sufficient cooling.

Probably quite a few given how frequently I see comments on SD post asking basic questions about things that could be answered with a 5 second google search 😛

Just buy a heatsink and you should be fine. The deal that was provided doesn't come with a heatsink
