Is my math off, or does the drive have weak write endurance? 78TB for the 240GB model, 158TB for the 480GB model & 315TB for the 960GB model? That’s basically consumer level?

No point buying this drive until it has been tested for at least a few weeks with ‘old data’.
Samsung TLC nand is not reliable at least from a performance standpoint currently. If and when a firmware update is available and users can test longer term results, then this drive may be a consideration.

Hmm, seeing how this is using 19nm TLC, there just might be a chance this is losing read performance over time aswell…

Thank you for the thorough review. Also: dem charts and graphs! Very helpful. The price point combined with the performance and current gen tech put this particular drive in my sights. Well written.
