just get a wd sn850x

Oh wow... It is a bit pricier but I just checked on https://ssd.userbenchmark.com/ and it looks like a fine SSD, thanks for the tip.

just fyi Userbenchmark is total useless and pretty much banned all around on PC enthusiast subs on reddit. They altered scores on a whim or what is "better" or not compared to something in their rankings.

What's a good alternative site to use? I really like their comparison feature.

fwiw I have both and both are fine with the latest firmware.

They have been bsod & crashing in win11. Hopefully like Samsung gets fixed fast, but it's been an issue for 6 mo now.

Really quite impressed by the sn850x but also iirc it also bogs down under prolonged writes[1]. But great general speed, good price. Hoping WD can keep iterating well.
