Samsung 970 EVO Plus 2TB NVMe M.2. SSD review

Samsung recently outed a Plus edition of the 970 M.2. EVO drives. All new though is a move towards a 2 TB unit, which we review today. AS IF they were not fast enough, they improved writes allowing R/W up to 3500/3300 MB/s thanks to the latest 3bit written NAND and a new Phoenix controller.

Disabling the write cache doesn't guarantee that you don't loose data in some models unfortunately, thats why data integrity and durability is something that has value in being tested, at least to know if disabling the write cache guarantees not loosing data.
Also, whats the speed when you disable the write cache?
Yes, I have an UPS, but still you can loose power, just to give some examples:
- you leave your computer, the power goes off and the battery drains out (yeah, I know there are ways to automatically do a graceful shutdown, but is not always possible and not always guaranteed to be successful).
- the computer hangs so you have to push the power button for 5s to force a shutdown, that will cut the power to the SSD, granted, it should have emptied its write cache by the time you do that... but still... who knows for sure?
- the PSU overheats or fails and cuts the power.
- you or somebody else is cleaning or the cat is bored and the cord gets unplugged.
- the battery of your UPS is wasted and doesn't provide the required power.
- and probably some other strange things that can happen that just cut the power suddenly...
So we had good and reliable hard disks for some time (we had also unreliable hard disks but thats a long long time ago...) and now we have fast but very unreliable solid state drives but nobody cares about how much unreliable they are and if they have a workaround to make them reliable, how much speed do you loose in exchange...
Is a bit frustrating.
I am being constructive and just giving an opinion about something that I think is valued for some people and unknown for a lot of others, many people just think that SSDs are reliable but they aren't (unless you buy an expensive data center oriented one).
If people start reviewing this, there would be an incentive from manufacturers to improve the situation and we as consumers win.
Thanks a lot for your opinions and suggestions guys!!!
