  You're paying a premium here for the endurance I suppose?

    SN700 is for storing serious data
NAS specific firmware, less dense and more fault tolerant 96L NAND, DRAM cache and ~3x endurance

      Quite the premium though. Unless you know for sure you're going to need that sort of endurance you can get a similar spec'd drive with half the endurance for almost half the price. And if you DO need this sort of endurance you're probably better off with an enterprise drive.

        PCIe Gen4 x4 vs PCIe Gen3 x4
        (your linked product is "better", but may not be compatible)

          @Chandler: Gen3 drive will work in a Gen4 PCIe slot, and Gen4 will simply get slightly bottlenecked in a Gen3 slot. Not an issue

            @Switchblade88: Good to know, thank you. Not overly fluent with PCIe SSDs yet, although I'm in the market for one.

              @Chandler: When using that Phison E16 based SSD on PCIe gen 3 x4 slot, you will find it is actually slower than either one of the listed ones. SN570 2TB is a bit weird, it has a 900GB SLC cache when the SSD is near empty. That, is also a bit of an issue for SN700 2TB. One of its advantages is kinda being negated if you don't have the need to write close to 2TB is one go.

              TBW on Phison E16 based SSDs tend to be quite high (much higher than usual).

                @netsurfer: Maybe I should just ask you what to get :P

                You're always active on these SSD posts and have a lot of knowledge on them!

  Queue all the people that have never worked with, used, or needed these drives talking about how you should get a cheaper drive with half the endurance instead.
