c'mon intel, i've never rooted for you so hard.
storage company weren't used to reduce price that quickly before either until there was some competition from China, remember random fire and flooding that periodically affect segate westen digital, samsung or micron but suddenly magically stop appearing in recent years exactly when china was able to produce nand chips.

Speed-wise, not much difference for end user either. But somehow people seem to prefer Samsung over intel in SSD - because Samsung sells for a premium?
There IS a difference, regardless of how negligible you think it might be; I hardly consider a $10 difference to be 'premium' pricing, but IMO the cost is justified for an all-around better product.

They don't need to have the best. They just need good value and reliable, that's it.
If they have the best mid-tier card, I'd jump ship so fast it would give Nvidia and AMD whiplash
Guess which one died? Sadly the most expensive Samsung 980 Pro. I was shocked. First Samsung drive I've ever had die. Made me sad and mad at myself for not being more diligent on my backups. 🤦🤦
Samsung sent a warranty replacement, but recovering the data was a multi day nightmare from a drive that for some reason ONLY android could access - and at very slow speeds with lots of hang ups.
The TeamGroup and XPG drives continue to perform flawlessly. Of course this is just anectodal, but take it for what it's worth. Happy deal hunting!!

Prefer the WD Black.
That's followed by Samsung, ADATA and Crucial (the latter two switching places from time to time).
DEFINITELY would NOT trust important data to low-cost, no/little-known names and will not touch Seagate with a 100+ ft pole.

Would rather pay $10 more for Samsung 970 Evo Plus
Now, if you're someone who will be copying a lot of large files (for example, for video editing), then that's where the 970 EVO Plus will start to shine.

And as far endurance ratings, a lot of people overestimate how much TBW they actually need. I've been using my current ssd for 4+ years and it only has 14TB written over 4000 hours. At that rate, the ssd will be obsolete long before I ever come close to the 740TBW rating.
