As a rule of thumb, after quite a mediocre experience regarding more than a couple of items, I have learned to never buy Samsung, if an alternative exists.
Their SSDs seem rock solid, but not so keen on anything else.
That's true, their SSD are really good.
Don't forget the 980/990 series losing durability way too quick, although it has been patched
No, mine is much older (850, IG?) and it's still kicking.
