Samsung 980 1TB NVMe SSD review

Samsung returns with a new M.2 NVMe SSD in their reputable 900 series product line, this, however, is a value proposition. We test the new Samsung SSD 980, which would be the non-PRO model. It is a product that sticks to PCIe Gen 3.0, but also Samsung stripped away the DRAM cache, now solely utilizing HMB (Host Memory Buffer).

what about the mounting hole?
Another decent performing NVMe 3.0 drive, with the most impressive function being it's large pSLC cache that means almost no write holes unless you write a silly huge chunk to the drive.......but otherwise I think you just choose based on capacity & price, the lack of write holes is the stand out feature of this drive though.

my 850 PRO 256 GB is
7 years old
4.3 years Power ON
47 TB written
91% Health
Warranty: 10 years warranty, or 150 TBW, whichever comes first.
My warranty will expire 3 years from now having written 45% of 150 TB.
So it looks to me that warranty-wise 'years' is more important than 'TB written', because it will expire sooner. I would need 22 years to write 150 TB at current rate.
My 840 Pro is also still going strong, somewhere in the 60 TB's written. Might even outlive the newer SSD at this rate

I'll stick to my 970 EVO 2TB a little bit longer

So this can be had for $129 vs $143 for 970 evo in 1TB flavor. Just barely cheaper at this point, but it is cheaper.
