I don't agree with those maths. I have 3 HDD 8TB full of steam games, which usually update, once a day or a week. If I fill a 1TB SSD with those games using a SSD QLC with 700- 1000 endurance. and I play a game on daily bases and save it every 5min over the same file, I would be able to update that file 700 times (remember SSD is full so the only way is to update the file rather than place it in other part of the SDD). The disk will last 175 days playing 8h a day. Great investment $129 per less than a half a year

Hilbert, I really appreciate the level of thoroughness and professionalism in this review. And it is a great review!

I don't see any wrong, if you write 700 times over same sector your SSD is as good as dead. This can be achieve in many ways. 1TB database change 700 a record and your SSD is dead. A SSD completely full at 100% and updating the same same 700 and boom your SSD is dead. 700 cycles is rubbish.
The only way to achieve 9PB in that SSD, it is using in a DVR, that will be a waste of dollars

I will stick with my spinning rust for now as it is affordable and I like to have as many games installed as I can. As for load up times I am missing out on sorry but for World of Warcraft and other games I play I can wait a little longer. Thanks for doing the review though as it had some information I was interested in.

Can someone explain why the PCMark 8 Storage benchmarks have the absolute slowest, cheapest, ancient SSDs doing the disc trace timing tests at almost the exact same speed as latest PCI-E Gen4 NVmE drives???
eg. Battlefield 3 has Sabrant Rocket Gen4 at 131.2 seconds and I have an ancient piece of crap 480G Sandisc and that gets 134.3 seconds in same test???
Why aren't the latest PCI-E Gen4 NVME kicking the crap and doing same test in 15 seconds??
Are these newer drives speeds a bit of a scam? Do they only reach those in very rare occasions?

I got exactly the same score in PCMark 10 for an ancient cheap SATA SSD and the supposed latest, greatest, NVME PCI-E Gen4 drive... I get similar results in PCMark 8 for all tests.

Damn, sorry for the off topic, but first time I just got 2 Samsung 970 EVO Plus and didn't know they are too high on that speed list. I'm an early SSD adopter and since the days of Samsung SATA SSD 830, 840, 850 and lastly had 3x 860s. Blindly only Samsungs I get.
To be honest responsiveness you don't notice difference, but when you load a game, there you feel it. I forgot how time-consuming was to load a game.
P.S. The only kind of bad news is that just read Samsung will release 980 EVO. I read that story just a day before I got my SSDs. Well, C'est la vie.

RE: TBW:
(current drives in system)
4 years: 29 of 150 TBW used:
My 500GB Samsung 850 Evo SSD has a TBW of 150. This drive has seen heavy use as my OS drive (and big games) for over 4 years (49 months, 17 days, to be exact). I have currently used 29.1 TBW in total. At that rate, I have 12+ years to go.
1+ year: 9 of 400 TBW used:
My 2TB nvme ssd drive (Intel 660p) has a TBW of 400. This drive has been used as my Games drive for 1 year, 53 days. I have currently used 8.6 TBW in total. At that rate, I have about 57 years to go.
Additionally, I'm about to retire that Evo 850 drive from heavy service. This weekend it will go in a secondary rig. All of my SSDs have been like that. Obsolete because of size, long before TBW even gets on the radar. Not one of them have ever died either.

x570 board ($262) off of amazon warehouse. It just arrived an hour ago. I spent all week wondering what would be "used" about it. Nothing. It's literally brand new. Quite relieved and stoked.
The reason my 500GB Evo is retiring is I couldn't wait any longer. I was going to wait like you, but I ordered a 3800x system last weekend. I had to buy a unicorn "used-good condition" Loophole35
