samsung on the other hand comes with their magician software if you need to copy an OS install over.
overall just buy which is cheapest unless you need magician, and if you get the samsung you will likely need to update the firmware immediately.
fwiw i'm buying a 2tb of this to make a raid 0 4tb game drive.

The ig5236 controller is infamous for bricking itself when paired with ymtc nand, random corruption issues, as well as having smart issues depending on firmware revisions. It's also well known for overheating and thermal throttling quickly, though that's more anecdotal and likely depends on exact conditions. While the pervasive bricking issues specifically seem to be primarily when paired with ymtc nand (it has been known to brick with non-ymtc nand, but far more rarely and quite possibly not the same exact issue), other issues are known to occur with nand from other brands, including micron. Regardless, either the controller itself has underlying hardware issues, or innogrit is so awful at developing firmware that even after years of the issues being mass reported they can't stop it from bricking drives.
Information about the smart issues can be found here, note it's supposedly fixed for the s70 blade 1tb in firmware version 3.2.F.66, but I'm unsure if that also applies to the 4tb version which uses different nand: https://pcpartpicker.co
Ultimately, while the price (unfortunately) can be considered acceptable due to the grievous inflation of ssd prices, I personally would not trust this drive with my data. I absolutely would not store any important data on this drive without complete redundancy, and would recommend a full backup of anything you store on it. I likewise wouldn't recommend using it as a boot drive. If you choose to roll the dice on this drive, I'd recommend using xpg's "ssd toolbox" to update the firmware immediately. In my opinion, spending an extra ~10% more to get a reliable drive from a different brand is more than worthwhile.

lol yes. i only had one failure back in the days of 2GB SD cards. Didn't like their customer service. Since then i'm biased. Won't buy.

Didn't have issues with any other other ADATA/XPG products I've tried at least, but the S70 Blade is dogshit.
My experience is completely different have multiple s70 blades since they came out years ago no issues whatsoever. Heavy use on most of them. They have a good endurance rating as well.
