True story: I bought a 256GB 960EVO ~4 years ago strictly for the performance, I've written 50TB, and it shows 100%. I think temperature might have something to do with the percentage. I replaced it with a 1TB Hynix P31 for the same price (~$100) recently. 1TB MLC/TLC drives were ~$400+ when I bought the 960EVO, so I'm not mad. If I couldn't replace it, I just might be. The TLC has improved this much between the two drives: 1200MB/s vs 1700MB/s sustained write, 1.5x random read IOPS, almost 2x TBW rating compared to 1TB 960EVO. The 960EVO hasn't started to slow down yet or use it's reserved space, so I imagine I can keep using it as an external drive until it does. edit: What I've said is indicative of an TLC/PCIE 3 NVMe upgrade path, what will a PCIE 4 NVMe (980PRO) upgrade look like in 4 years?
