Samsung's NVMe SSD's have been having issues as of late and although they claim to have fixed the issue(s) with a firmware update, I was still having problems with random loss of data.2. Samsung thinks because of their name they can charge above market prices, it's as if they don't care what their competitors prices are even though their competitors aren't having data loss issues and can compete with data read/write speeds. The SN850X's can come close to Samsung's 990Pro, and will beat the 980Pro handily for a lot less money!I did my homework before buying these and found that the WD Black SN850X's were highly rated for reliability and speed (check for yourself, you'll see). Check out my tests using Crystal Disk Mark (latest version as of this review). I had the settings set to NVMe and the profile set to Default (read & write). I have all three of these connected directly to my ASUS Z790E motherboard NVMe sockets with no other SSD's mixed in other than a 1TB SN850X that I purchased elsewhere at the same time that I purchased these (only because the 1TB was not available here at the time). I use the 1TB as my OS drive and the 3 other 2TB's as data drives.Very pleased with these NVMe SSD's, they are preforming as expected so far!

So happy I purchased this drive. I now have room on my computer on the C drive after installing this drive and restoring my C drive files from the old small drive. I have been running it for a few days and all seems well.

Bought this SSD for PS5. My 12 yr-old son installed the SSD and heat sink within a few minutes. PS5 shows speed over 6000MB/Sec. Very satisfied with this SSD.
