I suppose it depends on what you are using it for?

For me, I got it to replace the HDD in my Unifi Cloud Key Gen 2+ that I am using to record my cameras, and the Crucial has gotten some good reviews in that use case.

That's fair, granted they are both in the same general price range. More SDRAM with the Samsung. Both good drives, granted Samsung actually fixed the earlier issues with these drives; I'd feel comfortable ordering one directly from Samsung.

I recently bought the Crucial, directly. I'm happy with it. Not sure if I'd trust one ordered through Amazon as I've had issues with their stock not being genuine OEM or obvious customer returns, in the past. Probably a non-issue but I still pause to buy any items from them where there's known counterfeits floating around (although I haven't heard of any fake Crucial drives sold through Amazon).

I've never heard of people repairing those, before. Is it usually just the SSD that goes bad? I've had a few that "went bad" after 2 years. Do you have to manually reformat it afterward, or does it handle everything after replacing the SSD and powering it up?

The CKG2+ comes with a 1TB HDD, which usually dies after a year or so; apparently, switching out with a SSD keeps that from happening.

As far as installing it, I just asked that same question on Reddit this morning, and was told that nothing really needs to be fines other than a simple swapping of the drives.

B&H website description states 5 year for the 870 EVO. Where are you seeing 3?

Both have 5 year warranties unless you're buying refurbished.

My 2TB Crucial MX500 died less than a year in my CKG2+….but not quite "died". The cloud key tags it as hard drive failure, however it works fine when I put it in the PC.

Tried multiple reformats etc. but the CK just won't read it. Thoroughly confused if I should upgrade or put in another brand or type.

People aren't repairing them, they're increasing the storage capacity. The Unifi Cloud Key Gen 2+ comes with a 1TB HDD which provides less than a weeks history a decent setup. I have 8x HD cameras and only get 19 days of history with the MX500 4TB SSD. If I had 4K cameras it would likely be 1/4 of that time.

Originally I had upgraded to the Seagate BarraCuda 5TB SMR HDD and it worked just fine for almost 2 years ( ~500 days) then, after a Unifi Protect update, it went from "Healthy" to "Failed". I replaced it with the MX500 at the end of February and it's been working without incident.

I had a similar issue. I was running a Seagate BarraCuda 5TB SMR HDD that suddenly went from "Healthy" to "Failed" after a Unifi Protect update. The error email I received said:
Quote :
An HDD is no longer storing recordings. Replace it with compatible model to avoid performance issues.
If I rebooted the Cloud Key it would work fine for a couple days then errored out again. I pulled the drive and put it in another system and it wasn't throwing any SMART errors. My theory is that Ubiquiti updated Protect with features that demanded higher performance than my drive could sustain and it was erroring out periodically when the performance threshold of the HDD was exceeded.

$165 is a solid price. I pulled the trigger on this drive a little over a month ago for $179 from B&H.
