It's only good for 3gb bursts. Which is a ton of data to write to a consumer drive at one time. It's also 6gb/12gb for 500gb/1tb drives. It's a perfectly fine

It's a perfectly fine tradeoff for a consumer drive. Just because it doesn't fit your use case doesn't make it junk.
- antocv 11y agoWhat you define as ton of data for a consumer drive is your opinion only, there are many customers who do video editing work and really want/need the disks they buy to fulfill their stated technical specifications of write speed. Samsung witheld/lied about the write speed, and only mentioned TurboWriteCache in hard-to-find support forums, because they know it matters for a meaningfully large segment of the market. Its easy to state "about 250mb/s write speed, up to 500mb/s burst write speed" in marketing materials, if it didnt impact the sales as you state for consumers, why wouldnt they?
