Perfect purchase for me, exactly what I was looking for!

Clear ssd, took to replace Sandisk Extreme Pro for 240 gigs, one to one in linear speeds, because. everything rests on the interface, but the download speed and the work of some applications has increased by 1.5-2 times, for example, lightroom loaded 6-8 seconds, and now about 3-4, the speed of mixed read / write operations and arbitrary read operations has also increased /writes (in short, this is the performance of the drive during daily work in the OS and applications)
Based on the combination of characteristics and advantages, I can safely recommend it for purchase.

Pros

+ Excellent design, thin, light, absolutely silent +Memory and controller are designed and manufactured at Samsung factories, which reduces the cost and improves the quality of the final product + Barely heated, operating temperatures 35 in idle, 40-45 in load + Fast cache for 45 gigabytes, the rest have only 10-20 on such a volume + Read/write speed 560/530 MB/s, 60k IOPS read, 50k IOPS write, compared to normal HDD 150/100 MB/s, and only 200-300 IOPS! + Increased resource of memory cells, the guarantee allows you to overwrite up to a third of the storage capacity every day for 5 years! However, in fact, the real resource of the drive is 3-5 times higher, see specialized sites on the Internet +Good Samsung Magican software

Cons

- A little expensive compared to peers, considering that both the memory and the controller and even the production facilities belong to samsung - In the kit, apart from ssd and one thin book, nothing else was put -SATA 6, the memory is clearly capable of more, but the interface chokes on the bandwidth of the drive, on the other hand, there are other speeds in the NVMe league, as well as other prices -From 1 terabyte, 930 gigabytes are available, thanks to samsung marketers
