I was tempted to get a "pro" version at 512GB instead, but speed-wise it is not much difference and I have had only 2.5TB writes on my system 250GB Samsung 830 pro in over a year. Definitely do not use this drive for a DB or other application where a lot gets written, as it seems the design lifetime (wear-level indicator = 1) is 2000 complete overwrites. Users have tried to kill their drives, which seems to happen in the are of 4000 complete overwrites. Note though that many (all?) SSDs that have been run until failure did not go into read-only mode as some manufacturers claimed, but instead just died completely. It may be a good idea to replace after those 2000 overwrites. Also note that the smaller ones will drop significantly in write speed on sustained writes. One reason to get the 500GB, 750GB or 1TB variant, they drop from 500MB/s to 400MB/s, which basically does not matter. Arno
