Are they just in a slot?M2 are mounted on the motherboard direct
Samsung is 5 year warranty. As long as you have a backup....Personally I'd rather have a few smaller add and 2 or 3 2tb hdd inraid
One SSD for system.
One SSD for stuff I want to access quickly
No idea what the lifespan on SSD is these days mind

That's actually what I do. Couple of 2tb I already have which I will move to new machine.Personally I'd rather have a few smaller add and 2 or 3 2tb hdd inraid

I did not want to pester you via pm. So thanks for reply.They mount in a specific slot - M.2, and can be either SATA or NVMe format. There's no M2 slot on that board though, you want a normal 2.5" SATA drive.
The only drives I've never had an issue with have been Samsungs, I've bought a dozen or so of those and they've been faultless.
I like backups .Samsung is 5 year warranty. As long as you have a backup....
This will just be OS drive..After many HDD fails we store on a home server now with mirrored raid set up to avoid data loss
The main HDD in my pc is a SSD and had no issues with itThis will just be OS drive..
The one thing that confuses me is how they rate the value lower in the 1tb.OK without divulging too many details (partly because I can't remember) but a colleague at my previous job did a really extensive set of tests on both spinny disks and SSDs. Conclusion, buy Samsung. Vastly out performed all others and so far has been more reliable reliable. 970s are the latest generation (I think). If you want the best then go for the EVO Pros but honestly most people would struggle to see the benefits between Pro and not.
We noticed a difference but that was because we were writing via "hardware" (FPGAs) not software.
Bear in mind SSDs excel at looking up data randomly, if its sequential data then classic spinny disks may still offer a better solution when you factor in cost and cost per byte.
