stockpiling reliable models like the 870 EVO before the transition impacts availability further.

ly prices. That doesnâ??t mean Samsung?grade reliability is gone, but the easiest path to it through Samsungâ??s 800?series may narrow.

To begin with, SATA drives are easy to cool. Their plastic/metal 2.5-inch shells

This sucks.
SATA drives are the best.
You just plug them in and they just work in any system.
These NVME drives are just terrible - tons of compatibility issues with both hardware and software!

Nobody wants <2TB SSDs anymore, so of course there is no demand.
They should be making bigger ones at better prices.
I have 3 Samsung 870 EVO 4TB drives and I bought them for less than half of what they are now.
The price is what Samsung should be focusing on.

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with NVMe’s other than using outdated motherboards.

I have 4 on my MAG MSI Tomahawk Z790 WIFI.
CORSAIR MP600 PRO NH uses Gen4 PCIe technology to achieve unbelievably fast sequential read speeds up to 7,000MB/sec and write speeds up to 6,500MB/sec.

Along with 2 SSD Crucial MX500 and now I’ve gone back to two WD Black Gamer HDD SATA6 6TB and will use them for 1080p gaming. £95 direct from WD.

I’m not interested in SSDs that are just milking the tits off punters to Cash-in on the AI train. I still have two WD Blacks in my old ASUS Maximus V Genie SATA3 18 years old and still working on Win10. That’s reliability.
