@Futureized Whats your use case? If its just a normal usage then go any of these. Dram etc. wont matter at all.
WD blue 1tb is more than sufficient.

Yes 5yrs, none of the used ones you mentioned seems like a good deal so get the 970 Evo plus 1tb new.
 
Bought Samsung 980 pro for 6800 with shipping.
Paid total (confirmed by seller) and waiting for hardware.

I assume 980 pro compared to my WD SN570 500GB should double performance.

Added to this, I am going to keep apps and games on WD 500 gb
 
Nope, there will be increment in performance but it will be imperceptible (around 1-5%). The most noticeable differece you would see is while copying large files or hammering the drive with multiple workloads. Still 980 pro is a great drive and probably will last you more than your system
+1

I have a 2000MBps HP EX920, was earlier main drive on my laptop, now secondary drive on the desktop. Desktop's main SSD is Aorus Gen4 5500MBps one. Honestly, for normal usage, I see no difference b/w old laptop (currently has Intel 660p for boot drive) & my desktop. Games installed on Aorus vs EX920, again no noticeable difference. I just bought Gen4 because of the anticipation of Direct Storage tech.
 
Last question for performance:

Samsung 980 PRO 1TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 - https://www.amazon.in/Samsung-Internal-Solid-State-MZ-V8P1T0/dp/B08GS7748F/
Bought this used drive with 8.1 TB written for 6800 including shipping.

At present WD is setup as primary drive OS (Windows 10)/APPS/SOFTWARE.
Need to plan, to make Samsung 1 TB or WD 500 GB as primary drive

A.
Should i change the primary drive to Samsung 980 pro? (and install only OS on same Windows 10)
I hope there will be increase in performance due to this ?

B.
Planning to set up WD 500 GB as secondary drive and install APPS/SOFTWARE ON same.. will this further increase performance from above A.
