While I am saying that my results with earlier Samsung have been less than
glorious. triple layer nand's turning into half capacity for instance.
In my memory, the PRO version of Samsung SSDs (not: NVMe) survived the test of
a reputable website - many years ago. All other SSDs died when the article was
written, except the Samsung PRO SSD. Their test continued.
But, on the other hand, the regular version (no PRO in the name) of the Samsung
SSD died first in the test.
I think the data written to the Samsung SSD in the test exceeded twice the MTBF
rate, several hundred TB.
But I also noticed that the quality of Samsung SSDs has adapted to the quality
of their competitors (not in the good way). I read a lot about the 980 PRO and
the Firmware debacle, but also heard that the 990 PRO shouldn't be any better.
The memory business is very competitive, so this doesn't surprise me.
We've come a long way since the tv station I was working for pair $400
for a 4 static memory to populate an 1802 based S100 board. We call
