Planning to get a ssd for dual boot system. which one to get ? it will be paird with Samsung Evo Plus 970 gen 3.
This will become the primary ssd which will hold windows. other will be used to hold Mac.
Mac 11.4 beta bought the awaited support for 6800XT and 6900XT with metal so planning to conduct some test and go for the purchase.
Abhi fhatafat suggestion do :p

What about Samsung 980 Pro vs. WD SN850 ?

update:
1) got a quote of 1tb aorus gen4 ssd - 12050 shipped.
2) got a quote of 1tb Sansung 980 pro ssd - around 18k shipped.

yes was considering corsair mp600, Samsung 980 Pro and sn850 too.

MP600 and the gigabyte are basically identical under the hood. Same controller and nand. Both are slower than WD and Samsung.

Samsung 980 pro is also slower than sn850. Don't buy the Samsung.
 
if you are considering for OS ,go for one which has highest write cycles or warranty amongst TLC ,3d nand etc .Its not always about speed its about longevity :masked:
 
I have heard that sn850 die for some within 2 weeks. So scared on that part. Samsung is nearly the same I think. This is so much confusing

go for sasta and tikau with good warranty and service center ,as OS drives will degrade more rapidly so treat it a consumable rather than collectible

go for kingston A2000 it has good Random IOPS ,this one really flies under the radar ,i bought one under amazon sale 7.5 to 8
