The SSD comes with my 2-year old Aspire TC-885 suddenly died and I have to buy a new one.
I have two SSDs in mind and I cannot decide which one is better for me.
Right now the price is identical on amazon.
I use the desktop PC mainly for business and I am not a gamer.
The money is tight, but at the same time I just do not want to experience the sudden death situation again so reliability is important.
Could anyone give me an advice? I open to any SSDs in
the same price range.
Western digital SN750 500GB NVMe Gen3 PCIe, M.2 2280, 3D NAND
Samsung 980 Series - 500GB PCIe Gen3. X4 NVMe 1.4 - M.2 Internal SSD
Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

So hear this, the sn 750 se is a pcie gen 4 drive but has specs of a gen 3 drive, while the Samsung 980 is a gen 3 drive but has slightly faster write speed. My question is there a benefit of the sn750 se to be a gen 4 drive despite the low performance ? Wouldn't the pcie gen 4 controller and interface draw more power, rendering the drive less efficient
than the Samsung 980 ? Why would they even put a gen 4 controller on a slow drive anyway, just for marketing appeal ? Am in the market for an affordable gen 3 drive and my research led me to those two drives, and am sure i would be happy with either, but the diffrence in interfaces despite same performance just caught my curiosity. 89218043_5904094212.jpg 98.2 KB · Views: 52 NVMe-SSD-1.jpgAttachments

Hi, So yes I'd opt for the WD black instead depending on price After looking at both not sure either one would be on my radar.
Generic 980 is not supposed to be very good
980 pro might be a better buy but more expensive
Think WD only changed parts on the blue series

You will not be to tell the difference between them in real usage. Get the cheaper one/the one with the better warranty.
